The Jolly Fisherman & Steak House

I just had my engagement party at The Jolly Fisherman & Steak House and if I could give 100 stars I would! The day was a dream! I couldn’t of asked for a better party and experience! Bill and Derrick were an absolute pleasure to work with and they made my vision come true! The FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Everyone raved about how good everything they ordered was! The service was amazing, the servers were on top of everything and made sure everyone of our guests had a drink in their hand and had whatever they needed. The view is so beautiful overlooking the lake. 10/10 The service, the food, the quality, the esthetic. Just perfect! Thank you again Jolly Fisherman & Steakhouse! I am one happy customer and I look forward to coming back to eat again and again!

Had to get in my last meal here before they close the doors for good. Sad to see this establishment go. I have been here quite a few times in the last 20 years and always pleased!

Always a favorite in Roslyn. Valet parking makes it ever so convenient. I've been coming here for years (pre-covid) to celebrate special occasions. Fantastic table service. Not one but three servers for my two seat party. Loved the Cherrystone clams and Shrimp Cocktail. My favorite entree is the seared scallops. Simple and perfectly cooked every time. The little details like a bread basket with three kinds of choices: onion rolls, dinner rolls and the family recipe raisin nut bread. Delicious. They also give crudites: celery sticks, carrot sticks, radishes and ranch dipping sauce.

Amazing experience in every regard. Impeccable service and food. Great ambiance on a cool Saturday in June. Nut bread was out of the world. Gorgeous Mucha in the ladies' bathroom was a delightful surprise. According to my friend who just moved here, the food was much better than the Michelin star dinners he had in Manhattan. ...

Well worth it. One of the best restaurants ever! Right in the heart of Roslyn Ny, this seafood and steak house has the nicest staff, unique entrees, valet parking, huge windows overlooking a large pond and greenery, full bar, and is wheelchair accessible. Get the macadamia nut roasted salmon! Crave cakes are great. Steaks are great too. Plan to take 1-2 hours and enjoy yourself!

The food is delicious and the waiting staff very attentive. Haven’t been here for over 9 years and the food tastes the same! Love the ambiance, views of the lake and the restaurant. If I wasn’t so far I’d come here more often!

Hidden entrance if you're not familiar with the place so be ready to stop. Valet is free but bring cash for tip. Pleasant hostess. We made reservations so we were seated right away. Beautiful view of the water. It's good for families, couples and groups. The magnum steak can feed two people lol its huge. We ordered skirt steak and magnum steak and had leftovers. Calamari was a little bit salty. Lychee martini was amazing! Really good stuff. I just wish the lighting inside the restaurant was a little more dim but could be that we were there early. Double points for our waiter Carlos! I would tip him 50 if we could. He made us feel really special for our anniversary and took personal interest in us.

A longtime favorite by many, The Jolley Fisherman, a family-run restaurant is aptly named. On a Wednesday evening, the restaurant was at full capacity. Many families return here again and again to celebrate important milestones. Our anticipation was thus heightened as we saw the enjoyment and pleasure displayed by the diner's faces. Despite the crowds, we were seated without a reservation and served promptly. Restaurant Manager, Bill Mueger, greeted us with a hearty welcome and hospitality second to none. We began with a dozen fresh Oysters and the Shrimp Dumplings. Both appetizers were delicious. The Oysters were sublime and the dumplings crispy. Our entrees included the Roast Duck, The Jolley Fisherman Platter, and Sushi-Grade Yellowfin Tuna. A side of Brussel Sprouts and Maple glazed Sweet Potato added terrific flavors. The duck was crisp, moist, and topped with zesty orange slices. The Fisherman Platter included Jumbo shrimp, Ipswich clams, Deep-Sea scallops. Each was prepared well and mouthwatering. The Sushi-Grade Tuna was exceptional and served with fresh Wasabi. As we were celebrating our friend's birthday, we were further treated to a fantastic slice of Banana Cream Pie, and a slice of Chocolate Cream Pie. Both were light but decadent in taste. To finish the night off, we enjoyed tea, double espresso, and Black Sambuca. A night that will be long remembered thanks to Bill and staff at the Jolley Fisherman!
