Newsday’s Peter Gianotti has called The Jolly Fisherman, “The Kingfish of Long Island Seafood Restaurants.” Located in the historic Village of Roslyn, The Jolly Fisherman overlooks beautiful Silver Lake and was opened by the Scheiner family in 1957.
The Jolly Fisherman serves only the freshest, highest quality seafood, and prime aged meats. “Our commitment to excellent food and the satisfaction of our customers is what drives us. Diners seeking straight forward, top quality seafood and steaks know they can depend on us for great food, caring service and value time after time,” says Chef/Owner Steven Scheiner.
The Jolly Fisherman Menu features a wide variety of fresh fin fish as well as live Maine lobsters, jumbo shrimp, scallops and crab. In addition to the seafood selections, our Steakhouse offers dry aged prime beef, chicken, lamb and Long Island Duckling.
Daily specials highlight seasonal favorites such as Florida Stone Crab Claws and Nantucket Bay Scallops. Numerous outstanding desserts complete your meal with the Banana Cream Pie and Seasonal Deep Dish Fruit Pies being among the most popular.
The Jolly Fisherman takes no shortcuts; everything is homemade, from the nutbread and corn muffins to the salad dressings, award winning soups and terrific desserts. An appreciation for this has made The Jolly Fisherman an outstanding "Roslyn Tradition" for over 55 years.
