Bryant & Cooper opened in 1986 with big ambitions: to bring the top tier New York City "steak house experience" to Long Island. Not only would the very finest quality, hand picked prime aged steaks be served, but an ambiance would be created that makes everyone feel like they are part of a special private club. For membership...just make a reservation. Founded by the three Poll brothers with two generations of restaurant ownership experience, Gillis, Dean and George learned at an early age that the secret of a great restaurant was to start with serving the very best. That is why the steaks, chops and jumbo lobsters are selected on a daily basis, and only the freshest side dishes find their way to a plate served at Bryant & Cooper. Over the years Bryant & Cooper has received superlative reviews for its entire menu. The New York Times has proclaimed it the "best steak house on Long Island."

    I purchased the pasta making experience as part of my fiancé’s Christmas present. He loves good fresh Italian food and Aunt Jake’s did not disappoint. The food was amazing the class was very explanatory and easy to follow. This is an exceptional value. I will say the only down side is that the space to work and learn is a little tight but hey most places in NYC are. If you are looking for delicious pasta and an amazing experience Aunt Jake’s is for you!

    Our party of 7 (including 2 children/1 toddler) had an excellent meal yesterday. Every dish ordered was cooked perfectly and as requested, served at the proper temperature, utilizing the highest quality of ingredients, was visually appealing, and tasted great! All of the team worked in unison and made for a stellar dining experience.

    Wow! We enjoyed a very impressive meal. Shared 3 pastas to start & they were all delicious. The baked gnocchi was a favorite. Service was consistently good. Ours entrees were 3 different veal dishes & all were excellent. Overall, this place is very impressive! I would highly recommend this restaurant & will definitely return. The only drawback is parking which was difficult on a Thursday.
