Restaurant Review: Tellers in Islip

We went to Tellers for Brian's birthday on Monday. We had never been there and It definitely lived up to our expectations.

I made the reservations online at opentable.com. I specifically noted that it was Brian's birthday and that I wanted a table in a great location in the restaurant. When we arrived, the manager (owner?) was so wonderful as was the Maitre'd. They wished Brian a happy birthday, which I thought was so nice of them. They explained that the gallery (upstairs) is not opened on weekdays, but that they had a very nice table for us in the main dining area. What a beautiful place- inside and out.

The service was amazing. Everyone was so nice and accomodating. Always quick to offer refills on bread to drinks.

Since I am allergic to seafood, there was not an appetizer for us to order, but we did share a Fresh Mozzarella and Prosciutto salad (after polishing off the bread ) For dinner, I ordered the petite filet and brian ordered the Rib Eye. Brian's steak was ENORMOUS- 20 oz. still on the rib bone which was larger than a foot long and a good 2 1/2 inches thick. My filet was perfectly cooked and literaaly melts in your mouth. We shared two sides- the whipped potatoes and the macaroni and cheese (which had bacon in it and was baked with cheese on top of the crock.) We did not have dessert since we were going home to have cake.

For those of you that have not been there, you MUST go. The atmosphere, the service and the food are out of this world.

Isn't it the best?!
BTW, if you go again - they have the most awesome Lambchop Lollipops. They aren't on the regular menu, they are a bar item, but if you ask nicely they will usually give you them as an appy. They are melt in your mouth yummmy!!!!
