Ten of us went for brunch on a Sunday and Iâd say everyone enjoyed their selections. No one raved about anything but it was good solid food. Prices seemed reasonable, it had a typical diner feel and the staff were both friendly yet professional.

This location has seen several tenants come and go. We hope Gatsby's figures out the right balance and succeeds. For starters, we tried the artisanal flat bread, which consisted of a very paper thin flat bread,figs and some greenery. It was a nice table starter, but a bit pricey at $16 for what amounted to a few bites. The watermelon and tomato salad was fresh, tasty but also, at $16 was pricey. The winner of the entrees was the chicken. It is heralded as slow baked. This de-boned, pounded 1/2 chicken (breast and thigh) tasted as if first sauteed with a very light flour, almost negligible and then slow cooked in it's own juices with the addition of some fine herbs.Along side was a hearty summer squash stew. The chicken was up there with the best we tasted and I'd put it up there against any. $29.The salmon was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and also very good.Save room for the ice cream sandwich for dessert. The cocoa cookies are splendid. There's valet parking so no concerns about that. All in all, food is taken seriously here, improving steadily. The prices are a bit off the charts for a local eatery, and we suggest some tweaking, but forgiven if they maintain the quality.

The best skillet omelets I've eaten. The boss n staff are awesome. Always busy there. My favorite is the chicken and leek frittata with little bit of hot sauce OMG. Mmmmmm mmmmmm good. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes eating breakfast anytime of the day. P.S. they have other great stuff on their menu but I go there just for the breakfast items. So if you're in Carl Place and you're hungry go visit them. They won't disappoint you .I use to eat breakfast at diners and then I tried this place. Never went to a diner to eat breakfast again.

We planned this dinner to celebrate our youngest daughterâs college graduation. We were a little apprehensive following the GPS to back end of a partially vacant strip mall parking lot only to find a packed parking lot in front of the restaurant, even at nearly 9pm. We were seated immediately and asked for our drink orders. Server was very accommodating letting me taste wines before ordering. Food, especially the steak was superb. Service was excellent though a bit slow at the end which may be due to the fact it was so late. This is a must visit place for both couples, families and friends night out.

We chose the Jolly Fisherman for our Valentine's Day celebration. Best decision ever! This cozy restaurant in the heart of Roslyn never disappoints. The venue is cheerful, the service excellent, staff quite helpful, and I haven't even gotten to the food yet. The restaurant does a luncheon special which includes an appetizer, choice entree, desert, coffee or tea. For the appetizer, entree and desert there are so many options to choose from that it's hard to decide. I started with a salad which is a meal in itself. So fresh and full of good veggies to get you started. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted as an entree but decided to try the shrimp, clams and scallops over linguine with tomato and basil sauce. Wow! This was absolutely the best! I'll definitely have that again. Since i was a bit filled by now I decided to try a lighter desert, rice pudding with whipped cream. Top everything off with a good cup or two of coffee and voila you've had one of the best meals you've had in a long time. For what you get prices are reasonable. I can't wait to return. The Jolly Fisherman has become my very favorite dining spot on Long Island.

Each entree was delicious! Raves for the Roasted Corn Bisque, Filet Mignon and Halibut. Dessert was exceptional also. Give Thyme a try if your are looking for Diner dining with fabulous food. Tables are often set in dark corners, awkwardly arranged next to a staircase or opening doors. Walls are bare. Difficult to chat with your table guests because of noise intensity. Waiters are well meaning but unskilled at serving. Dinner plates were served by reaching across the table and our laps. Our table waited for water glasses to be filled and our drink order to be taken. We missed a more attentive staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

Reviewed By Younggeezy
We came with very high expectations to celebrate a birthday dinner with 7 guests. Several people we trust pledge that B&C is the best steakhouse, and even restaurant, in town. We entered to a lively and charming scene. Itâs deceptively spacious. Plenty of room to spread out and be noisy if you want. Comfy but vibrant decor and ambiance. Service is strong. The usual seasoned older gentlemen circling the tables and guiding the orders. But be careful because the waiters can be a bit aggressive â e.g., may entice you for some quick orders of special items off the menu. For example, before we even ordered drinks or were greeted by the staff, the waiter made eye contact with the biggest eater at the table and said âwe have a mozzarella, do you wantâ. Before anyone else could react we had apparently ordered individual mozzarella salads for the table. For starters, we had the cold seafood platter special. Was a bit light on contents and some items were quite strange. Nowhere near the ice tower weâre used to having at other venues. Barely enough to go around. The tray also included raw clams. Huh? Tasted about as bad as they looked. Oysters were excellent however. We also had baked clams and a mozzarella, pepper and prosciutto salad (the one that was ordered for us above). Both of these were very good. For entrees, the group ordered a variety of steaks. The Colorado special, porter houses for two, and filets. As to the good, all the meats were cooked to perfect temperatures. However, they were all terribly under-seasoned. To the point of being bland. Iâve never had to rely on sauce or salt, but that was a requirement for the table. Pretty disappointing there. Also, the steak options were a bit boring. Other steakhouses offer interesting upgrades, like marrow or truffle crust or Oscar style. B&C has a creamy peppercorn sauce, which was just ok. Also some Cajun option, which sounded out of place. The sides were good and bad. Nothing too exciting, but many steakhouses are like that it seems. I ordered my usual mushrooms. But they were just oversized button mushrooms bathed in some brown gravy and butter. No assortment of sautéed mushrooms. Bummed about that. The hash browns were super greasy. The garlic mash, roasted Brussels sprouts and spinach were excellent however. May have been the hits of the meal. Thatâs about it. Was hoping for better. I think Lugers blows B&C away in terms of steak. And most joints in the city Iâve been to do as well. But the vibe is great and I could see returning for another fun outing.
