Five stars all the way. I hosted a luncheon at there recently and it exceeded my expectations! The food and service were exceptional.

I have posted less-than-5-star reviews of the Brass Rail in recent months, primarily because the bar and the clientele had taken a dive. The last 2 times we were here, clearly they have taken efforts to improve the bar service and drink quality. Lindsay is a fantastic Add, bringing Value-Add over the horrific mess the bar here had become. The improvement you’ve made in the bar service and quality is noticed. I thank you. It was horrific for awhile there, but tonight (and last time) was fantastic.

The Brass Rail is an outstanding spot on Long Island's North Shore for a relaxing meal with friends. When we visited the restaurant with a party of six on a recent Tuesday evening our entrees all were delicious. The grilled filet of branzino special in particular was superb, as was the skirt steak entree. You simply cannot go wrong at The Brass Rail!

never disappoints!! I've always been happy with the food there. Short rib quesadilla was delicious, mussels a touch salty but very good, ahi tuna delicious.

My first time visit to this restaurant accompanied by friends who have eaten here before. Our waitress Christine was absolutely fabulous and a prime example of a superior server. Great personality. Catered to us but not overwhelming us. Food was great..I had French Onion soup with extra cheese and served hot, exactly as I had asked for. The pasta Bolognese was a consideration for dinner but there were so many good choices to pick from. Christine saw we wanted the pasta but were considering other options. She dropped a bowl at the table for the four of us to taste. It was wonderful. The fish offerings sounded really good and nicely prepared, but I ended up with skirt steak which was served with truffle potatoes and asparagus. Cooked to perfection. My husband had a steak with chopped salad and reported everything was good. For dessert we had homemade ice cream with chocolate and caramel sauce served with fresh homemade whipped cream. The dining experience was terrific from beginning to end. Will definitely return and for sure ask for Christine.

Consistently excellent food, service, ambiance. Always happy to dine at the Brass Rail with friends and family.
We had not been back to NY since pre-pandemic times, so it was great to find that our fav Locust Valley restaurant was still going strong. The regular menu is impressive, but we could not resist the specials. My husband had the grouper with crab, and I opted for pure Italian pasta with a spicy sausage and short rib sauce and a side of burnt broccoli. Yum. Yum. Yum. Service and ambiance all good and equal to what we had come to expect on past trips. Worth the trip from Maryland just to start our visit with dinner here.

This is the place to go for a fancy yet affordable (pricey but on par with other restaurants) meal. The atmosphere here is timeless and classy. It’s hard to go wrong here. The French onion soup here is TO DIE FOR! Complimentary dinner rolls are also served here accompanied by butter. Also check out Heirloom Tavern in Glen Head!

Came here for a quick meal with a girlfriend. Everything was perfect! Try the sirloin burger or the Po'Boy sandwich on French baguette ! The Brass Rail never disappoints!
