My friends and I came here for dinner after checking out nearby Coe Hall and Planting Fields Arboretum. It was such a nice day out, so we opted to do outdoor dining in front of the restaurant. Upon being seated, we were served complimentary bread, including sesame seeds roll and mini baguettes. Both types of bread was warm and fresh, and was so tasty with butter. There were a couple of menu items I was eyeing, but finally decided to order the Roast Long Island Duck ($34). The duck came topped with Bing cherry brandy sauce and was served with rice pilaf and assorted vegetables. The duck had decently crispy skin (though it could've been more crunchy), along with tender, succulent meat, which was soaked in the aromatic, slightly sweet cherry sauce with a delightful hint of brandy taste. There were also actual soured bing cherries on top of the duck, which was a lovely touch. The rice pilaf was cooked perfectly and a great accompaniment. The medley of vegetables included broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. This was simply prepared, but made just right and pretty good. I got to try the lobster mac and cheese, which was absolutely delicious! Incredibly cheesy, with plenty of wonderfully well seasoned lobster filling. Service was decent. Our waiter was friendly and was on top of it. I just found the food to be a bit too expensive. I'm not sure the duck was worth the $34 it cost. If I am back in the area, I would probably look for a more reasonably priced place to eat.

Whoever the chef is, does one amazing job. Food was all cooked perfectly and tasted great. Very surprised with this place. From the first piece of bread till the carrot cake we got at end, was all fantastic. And gotta give mad props to the blonde lady who was hosting, waitress, manager, bartender, BOSS she does it all by herself. Definitely going to be coming back to this hidden gem

We've been regular visitors to Oyster Bay for decades, and one thing we noticed recently was that there are precious few appropriate restaurants in the area - take out pizza (which we don't eat) and eateries are quite rare. I noticed on Google Maps this place just south of downtown, and decided to give it a try. Upon entering, the place gives off a warm and welcoming vibe, and we were immediately spotted by our server (Also the bartender) and settled in a table near the window. We were given menus, and had little trouble picking out nice things to eat - Donna got a grilled vegetable sandwich and I got the fried shrimp basket. Also, I started with a raw oyster appetizer. The oysters were simply perfect - I had to settle for 2, but I could have happily eaten 10. The shrimp came with hand cut french fries - plenty for the two of us. Lots of sharing going on and it was all delicious. I was so happy that I momentarily toyed with dessert, but the $12 cost convinced me otherwise (My parents were raised in the depression, and they made me serious about money). There were a few minor missteps, and a few too many things on the menu that were unavailable that day, but this was still an hour well spent. More importantly, we now have a go to place in Oyster Bay.

Thoughtful menu. Deftly cooked steaks and burgers are the main draw here. Could use some better seafood choices. Service is efficient and pleasant. For an "upscale" bar-restaurant I'd like to see a better selection of beer.

Great service and very good food! We had burgers and fries which were nicely prepared but the mussels app was the standout.... really delicios

This place has disgruntled owners and employees working here. It's service driven business and the owners and bartenders have been nasty. There are plenty of places to go to eat and drink. Why would anyone want to deal with that? Don't waste your money here, trust me! If I could choose no stars I would!

Meal was served in a cold room. The staff was friendly. Meal was fair. Don't know where the smell was coming from but it was not a friendly smell. Fries were good. Veggie sandwich could have been better. Less cheese more veggies.

Always delicious when I go to the Coach Grill. It is a staple restaurant for family meals. Comfortable, small environment. The staff is friendly and the food is always high quality and delicious. I love the french onion soup and the wedge salad. Would highly reccomend!

My first time here. I'm from Long Beach, it was really nice to find fancy yet relaxed bar atmosphere. Matt our bartender was so nice. He makes a really great Mojito!! If you're in the area come and check them out. Great music too

Hidden gem for a dog friendly restaurant!! Good and service is excellent!
Ordered the Onion rings and shared the Crab cake for appetizers. For entree, ordered the Crusted salmon and for drinks had a Mojito. Everything that we ordered was delicious. We came on Sunday at around 3 and was our first time to this place. The service was great! Would definitely be coming back.

Fun place to go on a date, lunch, or just for a drink. Good atmosphere, great food better service! I think it's important to know the good spots and I know a lot. This is a fun, lively place! And you're gonna enjoy what you order!

Took my to the Coach Grill to celebrate her birthday. The staff was friendly and the service was good. We both had the French Onion Soup which was excellent. My wife had the Chicken Santa Barbara which she enjoyed. I had the Western Sirloin Strip Steak which was on special. The steak was over cooked and tough. The Potato Pancake was made with sweet potatoes (not a big fan). I am fussy and don't like certain vegetables in my salad. The salad had cucumbers, onions and tomatoes which I don't like. Usually not a big problem. I just pick them out and eat the rest. Couldn't do it this time because they were diced into 1/4 inch pieces. Will not order again.
