Had a great experience here, came here to celebrate my bestfriends birthday. Dennywas our waiter and he took really good care of us! We sat outside and enjoyed the view, it was nice and quiet. Even got to see a swan and turtle swimming by. The food was great! Our favorites were the fresh bread and brussel spouts! We both got Macaroni Gatsbys Vodka sauce, one with chicken other with shrimp. The pasta is made fresh in the restaurant it was good. We also got a side of brussel sprouts, they were so good we thought they even tasted like fries a bit lol. Then got the molten chocolate cake for desert, If you're a chocolate lover you'd like it lots and lots of chocolate. We had a great time here!

I have seriously nothing but positive things to say about my time here. The waiter Kevin was extremely punctual and friendly. The bread is brought out warm and piece by piece. The calamari appetizer is perfectly crispy. The butternut squash soup was sweet and nicely seasoned. Their short rib was just fantastic and truly fall off the bone! I substituted fries with mashed potatoes which I wouldn’t do next time. The s’more dessert is sweet and unique. It’s clear all the staff here know what they’re doing. I would say truthfully one of my best restaurant experiences ever. 10/10!

Yesterday afternoon, 5 October 2023 I had the pleasure of joining my sister for a belated birthday lunch at Gatsby's Landing in Roslyn New York. We were fortunate to be able to be seated outside to have a beautiful view of the pond there.,that was a hugh plus. For an appetizer we chose Crab Cake , it was so moist and flavorful, really delicious. For the entree my sister chose Ravioli with Butternut Squash in a Brown Butter sauce. I chose Braised Beef Short Rib ,whipped Mashed Potatoes with Truffle Chimichurri. The beef short rib was tender and delicious. For dessert my sister ordered a Creme Brulee. All in all, it was a delicious meal. What made this meal a highlight was the server that we had, Tanya. Tanya was so friendly, polite, beautiful personality, and told us the special meals for that day. She went out of her way to accommodate us, which really helped. I enjoyed the ambience there, as well as the staff there. I most definitely will be returning there for another meal, as my sister and I had a wonderful time there, and look forward to having more wonderful memories there.

The Duck entree only has two slices of duck. The $40 price tag is steep for what I got. The Parker rolls were hot and scrumptious, especially when smeared with butter. The cocktail menu is extensive and creative. I had a Blood Mary, which had little flavor, so I exchanged it for a Mimosa, which was good. I will definitely return to try other things on the menu. This restaurant is perfect to impress a date or a friends and family.

Our experience was a good one! We were seated quickly, the staff as very nice, the food was good (especially the fries), and the price was very reasonable. We both ordered the (bacon) chicken salad sandwich w/fries…no complaints other than a little Mayo or something preferred to gel the meat better. It was still good enough for me to finish it all and order again if I’m the area. The back room with the view of the water and ducks was nice also.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, my wife and I enjoyed a $38 three-course prix fixe lunch. Although the public parking lot was full, we managed to find a spot for $2 for two hours. The restaurant, Gatsby's Landing, draws its name from the romantic nostalgia of The Great Gatsby. Situated near the Long Island Sound and Roslyn Pond, the setting offered a beautiful waterfront ambiance. My wife opted for the Baby Roasted Beets Salad, Salmon, and Crème Brûlée, while I chose the Lobster Bisque, Squid Ink Tonnarelli, and Tiramisu. The menu highlights their commitment to fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients - a promise they certainly delivered on. The dishes were both delicious and generously portioned. It was clear the kitchen doesn't skimp on quality; for instance, the lobster bisque was loaded with tender lobster meat, the squid ink tonnarelli featured an abundance of blue crab, and the salmon was a substantial, thick-cut fillet. The chef clearly possesses a mastery of technique, knowing exactly how to pair garnishes and balance flavors in perfect harmony. Furthermore, the waitstaff was both diligent and courteous. We can see why this establishment is so popular--the combination of exceptional cuisine, attentive service, and the serene lake views is hard to beat. However, there is one area for improvement: the restaurant should consider replacing their current chipped plates with larger, more elegant dinnerware. High-quality presentation would better reflect the dignity and caliber of the food they serve.

Quaint, little restaurant with a great view. Food was great, and a nice romantic setting for you to enjoy with loved ones or getting to know someone. Highly recommend!

I recently enjoyed dinner at Gatsby, located in the heart of Roslyn, and it was a lovely experience. The outdoor seating offers a relaxing view of the pond, creating a calming atmosphere that's perfect for an evening meal. The service was good, and the ambiance was inviting, setting the stage for a nice night out. For appetizers, we started with the Crispy Tuna Rice, which was solid, and the Baked Clams Oreganata, which were quite good as well. For our main dishes, I chose the Shrimp Corn Ravioli, which was a special of the day. It was tasty, though I wasn’t quite sold on the texture. My wife opted for the Pan-Seared Red Snapper, but it turned out a little dry for her liking. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would definitely consider going back to try more of their menu!

Amazing! This is my third time at this restaurant and it was amazing! I came here with a party of 8 for restaurant week and to celebrate a birthday. I personally enjoyed my meal, but some of the party members did not enjoy it as much. Being that it was restaurant week, you had a to choose from a specific menu, with 3 options for each course to select from. I had the sea bass and it was delicious. The only thing I personally was a tad bit disappointed on was the desert. Let me explain. It took a bit longer than usual and the waiter told us that the cheesecake just came out the oven and it will be soft. She did ask if I still wanted it which was great. I agreed and it’s only soft right? Well it came and it was melting, and did not deliver. Besides that, our waiter and the manager of the restaurant (Tom) were extremely attentive and delivered a great meal and service. Though some members did not enjoy the experience, I certainly did and will return!

Overall, it is a gorgeous space and getting a reservation was not an issue. Menu appeals to everyone. I am upset because we indicated a birthday when making the reservation, and then I personally told the host, who acknowledged my mom's bday. Tons of tables were receiving the huge sparklers for bdays. We ordered a lava cake, and NO SPARKLER! Then, no apology from that host, which is just rude. On the way out I said, "you failed me with the candle" and he just sat there and smiled over his free meal, and said, "yeah". People just don't care! Our waiter was lovely, food was just ok. I would just expect more from a small place with 2 hosts. GL, get a better host, especially for Sat night!

Beautiful setting and nicely decorated interior, which makes for a good first impression. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss, and not always worth the higher prices. Service was friendly, but overall, more style than substance.
