This place was absolutely amazing. The service was great and I highly recommend the calamari. If you are looking to have brunch I highly recommend it. read more

I've been here twice. The first time I made an OpenTable reservation for myself and some old friends in from out of town to meet for dinner on a Saturday night. We showed up and they informed us they canceled the reservation because we didn't respond to their confirmation email and they no longer had a table for us. How embarrassing. Can you believe that? I did give them a second chance. Food is decent. Live music can be a plus. But have to always be cautious of an establishment that would slight a customer because of what other customers have done to them in the past. read more

The setting of Thyme is cozy and almost makes you feel like you are walking into a house. Indeed it was once a house that was renovated to accommodate diners. Even when you walk inside, it feels like you're walking into someone's home, cleared out with but a few clothed tables and chairs. Walls are bare except for a few light fixtures. It almost feels impromptu, as an afterthought, yet somehow it feels intimate. The location of Thyme is situated in front of the Roslyn clock tower and Hempstead Harbor. While you eat, you can get a nice view of the Roslyn Pond with geese walking around, just behind it. We recently came here for Easter Brunch. The brunch menu was set, $29 which includes a drink (bloody mary, bellini, mimosa, orange or grapefruit juice), entree, and coffee/tea. To begin with, they provide you with a complimentary basket of mini bite-sized muffins and fresh scones. The muffins were sweet and tasty, while the scones had a nice crumbly texture to it. It was a nice take instead of the typical bread slices that many other restaurants make a habit of serving. For my drink, I got a bloody mary which was surprisingly strong, yet enjoyable. You could really taste the vodka, maybe a little too much at times, but it complimented perfect with the spiciness and pepperiness of the bloody mary mix. I was really enjoying it. For my brunch entree, I ordered the Hanger Steak and Sunnyside Eggs. What I got was a 4 slices of tender and tasty hanger steak on top of very hard and toasty bread. The steak was seared on the outside to give it a nice crust, yet maintained a very nice inner pink, making a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak. A portion of home fries were served on the side, topped with 2 sunnyside eggs. It was a solid steak and eggs, though nothing to rave about. On any other given day, this same brunch is only $18, which is a decent deal. But for a place that never got fully occupied and commanding a steep $11 inflation just because it was Easter, is a bit incredulous and uncalled for. Playing on the family goers who just want to go out and celebrate with their family, is a bit much. Beyond that, all the components seemed to be there: location, homey and cozy ambiance, polite waitstaff. But those components just didn't seem to really compliment each other well together, lacking any true wow factor. read more

Came here for brunch on Sunday. $20 pp and comes with a free mimosa, Bloody Mary or Bellini. I ordered steak and eggs. Pretty tasty. Came with potatoes and bread and roasted veggies on the side. Bellini was very tasty (and strong) ;) Boyfriend got Veal sausage and eggs. Pretty yummy as well. Coffee is served in a French press and is very good. Thumbs up. The atmosphere is great here especially if you get a seat on their outdoor patio. You get a view of the duck pond. The only negative is that we never got a water refill. Our waiter was great too. Forgot his name but he was nice and knew what he was doing. And kinda cute too :) Probably will come back before the warm weather is gone. read more

Fantastic Easter Brunch! First, I have to thank Nancy for making this brunch possible. I had made a reservation on Open Table about two weeks before Easter and due to some snafu, likely on my end, when I was checking things the night before, it wasn't there! I called the restaurant and Nancy, with a little bit of a time change, made it happen, and I am SO glad she did, everything was wonderful! It was busy yet not over crowded and the noise level was totally manageable. I often find these days that you can't hear the people at your own table, but that was not the case at Thyme. It was great to be able to hold a conversation with my family at Easter brunch. As for the brunch everyone was able to find something on the menu they could enjoy. The mini scones and muffins were a nice touch to start with, and the brunch cocktails were great (LOVED the Blood Orange Margarita a nice special cocktail). My daughter and I enjoyed the french toast, which was a most generous plate. My husband had the steak and eggs which he said was cooked perfectly and again was the perfect size. My mother in law enjoyed the poached eggs on a potato cake and also truly enjoyed her meal. We did look at the dessert menu but were all so full from brunch we said we will have to come back to be able to enjoy dinner and dessert! The service was spot on, we did not feel rushed and all requests were met. I can't say enough good things about this place and I can't wait to go back! read more

Rating based on Cost vs quality. Filet, lamb chops appetizers, all good but not any better than what I grill on my own or other less expensive restaurants. Service was good, nice and welcoming and didn't feel rushed. read more

On Saturday they open @ 1130 am for brunch with a pre-fixed menu that includes drink of choice and upgrades. Skip the drinks because they used canned juices that may or maybe not have gone bad, so you're better off with water. We started with orange juice that went bad and they were replaced with grapefruit juice which w wasn't any better. They also have mini raisin scones with cinnamon sugar butter which was really good. My husband and I both had the steak and eggs. Egg dishes come with potatoes and French fries are a 4$ upgrade which is pretty steep. Eggs are served any style. The steak is served on garlic bread crostini. I had mine medium rare and his medium. They were both cooked to our liking. Overall, the food was good. I wish I could give the restaurant a 3.5 since it wasn't bad, but wasn't enough to give a 4. If I were in the area, I'd come back to give it another chance. Just wish they used better ingredients. read more

Been here two times for dinner, both times I left with the same opinion - everything is fine...nothing bad, but also nothing to warrant another visit. read more

Upgrading to 4 stars for great execution with our meals last night. All 6 appetizers and main courses impressed, and this group is pretty hard to impress. I started with the special fig salad and followed with the swordfish special; both were artfully prepared and presented, which honestly I do not care that much about if it does not deliver on taste, but both delivered. The pork chop also got high rating both for presentation and taste, and they succeeded in keeping it succulent when it is so common that pork is dry. ( I guess I do care about presentation because even without tasting it, I plan on trying it next time) The cookie platter (this is a don't miss) and French press coffee ended a perfect meal. As always nice ambiance inside; classy interior designed by local architecht Matt Korn in the locations previous life. Outdoor overlooking the lake is also great when the weather is right. Upstairs is great for big groups, but lacks intimacy of downstairs My only gripe is that they do not let you transfer the bar bill to the table. I do not get it when restaurants have this policy. I get it that it is complicated running a dynamic business, but do not make your issue my problem especially before we even get a bite of food. read more

Excellent service despite being incredibly busy on Thanksgiving. The turkey entree was surprisingly good, moist bird, excellent stuffing. The prime rib serving was huge! The Brussels sprouts and kale salad was a little one note, could have used another element to add texture. read more

Let's be clear: I love brunch, and I love brunching, especially over some Eggs Benedict, a great Bloody Mary and a little convo with comrades. Add great ambience and service into the mix, and I'll have a grand old time. But here's the clincher: the food has just GOT to be good. Thyme has all the makings of a great brunch spot - nice location, pretty interior, fantastic service. Where it falls short, I'm sorry to say, is the food. Not that it's anything bad - it's just over complicated and fussy. Take, for example, their Salmon Benedict: great poached eggs. Delicious Hollandaise sauce. Beautiful smoked salmon (although there was very little of it, which was a disappointment). But they put it all on top of a giant, think, heavy and greasy potato latke thing that was just too much for me. If the latke was an actual latke rather than a cutting from giant, dense sheet pan of potato cake, maybe it would have been better, but I found myself eating around the thing which was supposed to set it apart. My husband did the same thing with his Thyme Benedict, which came with ham rather than salmon. Come to think of it, he didn't eat much of the ham, either. All that said, everything else was wonderful. It was a bustling place on a Sunday morning, the servers couldn't have been nicer or more professional, and the beverages were pretty delicious. It's a flat $18 per person for a full brunch, so come hungry and cocktail-ready. read more

Just came back from a wonderful evening at Thyme. Despite the fact that every table was filled, the service was impeccable and every thing we ate was delicious! And at the end of our meal, the chef sent us the worlds most incredible creme brûlée as a thank you; for what? Appreciating his amazing food? Such a nice touch. Great vibe here too. Highly recommend!!! read more

Gone here twice now and both times we really enjoyed the food and service. Cute patio in front with view of the tower.

Heard about Thyme from my fiancé's parents trying it out a while back and highly recommending it for dinner. We went the day before Valentine's Day (Saturday) and they were offering a prix fixe menu for the two days. The restaurant is situated right next to the town's tower and pond and has quite the charm. Parking in Roslyn can be scarce, so luckily there is valet. We had a reservation but decided to have a drink at the bar when given the option of that or the table. The hostess gave us the option of sitting upstairs or downstairs - we didn't have a preference and ended up downstairs. It was nighttime but we were near the window facing the pond. Great ambience - very intimate. The food was delicious. She started out with lobster corn chowder for the appetizer and I had the crab cake (chipotle aioli was spicy in the best way possible). Our main courses were the short rib (myself) and scallops and shrimp (her) and both were delightful and generous helpings. We finished off with dessert (I had the apple tart and she had crème brulee) and although we were already stuffed, we thoroughly enjoyed the desserts. Overall, I certainly intend to dine at Thyme in the future. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great for a date or intimate gathering (probably not best for groups). read more

Good brunch place! The best part is they serve brunch on Saturdays too - this is hard to find if you are on Long Island. You also get one free drink with your entree, which is a great deal. It seems really cozy (there's even a fireplace) and you get a great view of the Roslyn Pond. If you like eggs benedict, this would be a great place to visit. read more

thyme - Smoked Salmon Benedict. - New American Near Me - Roslyn, New York

I went here with some friends for brunch. Definitely budget friendly considering it's a flat price that comes with a drink. The salmon Benedict was decent. It wasn't amazing on the palate but it does satisfy ur taste buds. My friends got the French toast , they said it was bland, nothing amazing. Service was alright; the view topped it all. This place has cheap valet parking which is very convenient. I don't see myself going back , but it was worth the experience. read more

A reservation was made and we arrived on time. The hostess said we would have to wait 20 minutes. After twenty minutes we were told our table upstairs was ready. When the reservation was made we were not advised of two level seating and one of the members of the party had extreme difficulty navigating the stairs, but we were told there was now no other option. Upon ordering we asked for separate checks for the diners, and we were refused. It is a new policy. Upon discussion it was revealed that the restaurant does not want to pay two credit card service charges. Further, it was impossible to have a conversation as the acoustics in the upstairs room are deplorable. We will not return. I will add that the wait staff was efficient and accommodating. read more

The quality and presentation of both my Roasted Corn Bisque and Pan Seared Halibut were top notch. The quaintness of the restaurant and the view of the lake would have made this an ideal dining experience. The attentiveness of my server and the other wait staff was definitely lacking. I counted 10 different times when a server walked by my table with an empty drink/water glass and it was never acknowledged. I had to interrupt a conversation between 3 employees standing by the bar to refill my water glass. The opportunity for a 5 Star review was lost due to the staffs attention to the guest. Would definitely go back for a second try. read more

The food, service, and ambiance make Thyme is worth every penny. First, the location is fantastic. I got a table for the fiancé and I overlooking the lake (pond?) that the restaurant shadows and it made the experience just that much better. Most importantly though, the food was delicious. The BBQ duck tacos were great, with the ratio of tender duck meat to mango salsa expertly measured and the sauce ON THE SIDE. Most places just slather sauce on the tacos and don't give the customer the option, but Thyme does it right. The pork chop entree was also perfectly cooked, as well as my fiancé's duck entree. Duck is a tough protein to get right, but the chefs at Thyme really know how to get the job done. We'll definitely be returning, and hopefully next time it will be warm enough for us to enjoy a meal on the deck. Five stars all around! read more

Great food! Service great , too. They have a lovely deck outside in the back. You can sit outside in front

Loved it the first few times we came here. Valentines Day of 2019, they had the best pre fixe menu, good pricing, delicious food, and generous portions. Came back here last month and it really feels like a different restaurant. Not sure if the chef changed or anything. Appetizers were ok, entrees were not impressive, everything was just so average. Seafood paella was good, clam pasta was a bit weird with so much veggies mixed in. Dessert was "strawberry shortcake" but it was just a deconstructed hard cookie with whip cream and some slices of strawberries. Disappointed as we came here with high expectations from our previous experience here. read more

Food and service was great. Drink prices were a little on the high side. I will go back again

I have been to this restaurant before. During Long Island Restaurant Week, a friend and I dined here. The food was good. The service did not impress me. The reason for this review is about my attempt to place a reservation for tonight. I booked thru Open Table, for 6:45. The OT disclaimer says you must call the restaurant, 48 hrs. In advance to confirm. If you do not, the reservation is automatically canceled. Well, I just called and the woman asked me could I come in earlier. I told her that I really could not. Before I was even finished speaking she says, 6 30 just 15 minutes, no big deal. I reluctantly agreed. I hung up the phone and thought, that didn't seem right? If it's no big deal then why could I not keep my original reservation time? It's inconvenient for me, your customer, to make that time. Then if I show up "late", what other inconveniences would I have to endure? Needless to say, I cancelled the whole thing. I may try again because their duck was awesome. Again, the service is causing them to lose business. read more

Came here brunch and had a great time! Our waiter was super friendly and very attentive, good service. Food was yummy too! I love the eggs Benedict on a potato cake instead of the normal english muffin. So good, and nice size portions. read more

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I forgot to leave a review for this restaurant. I came here for dinner during Long Island Restaurant Week for the price fixe menu at the end of October. We did call ahead and make a reservation. Now I've seen a good many people complain that the service is cold or unfriendly and I have to say that I did not have that experience. Our server was pleasant, helpful, prompt. But they also aren't paying the servers to befriend you and chat. It is a pretty busy restaurant. Please keep that in mind. Upon walking in, we were seated immediately at our reserved table. To start, we ordered one Blood Orange Margarita and one Lychee Martini. My goodness, even the cocktails here blew me away. They were both amazing. My date began with the Barbecued Duck Tacos, with a Mango Jicama Slaw, Potato Gaufrette and Chipotle Aioli and I began with the Fuji Apple & Endive Salad, with Candied Walnuts, Cranberries, and a Cider Vinaigrette. Holy smokes, both appetizers were simply amazing. Completely balanced dishes between flavors and textures, super fresh ingredients, just beautiful. For our meals, my date ordered the Braised Lamb Shank with Roasted Root Vegetables over Creamy Polenta and I ordered the Fresh Pappardelle with Slow-Braised Short Rib and Roasted Vegetable Ratatouille. Let me first comment on the portions because for a fine dining establishment, these plates were huge and FULL of amazing, beautiful, delicious food. I did not expect that! And not only do the plates come to you looking gorgeous and fully Instagram-ready, but the flavor in these dishes just completely blew me away. I was probably full halfway through our meal, but I had to just keep eating because it was seriously THAT good. I also need to note that they use a freshly made pasta, which is a HUGE detail for me, and it is cooked absolutely perfectly. For me, there are few things worse than ordering a pasta dish at a supposedly higher end restaurant only to find out it's either pre-packaged garbage or not properly cooked. Neither of those was a problem here. I am a notoriously picky eater, I usually have to modify my order by a minimum of one ingredient, and if food does not arrive how it is described, I get pretty disappointed. I did not have ANY of those problems here at Thyme. Definitely one of the best dinners out I have ever in my entire life had the pleasure of enjoying. I think I spent the next week or two saying "Wow that dinner was F-ing amazing!" over and over. For dessert, my date ordered the Chocolate Torte and I ordered the Caramelized Apple Pie. All I can say is oh my holy goodness. Like I already stated, we were both probably full halfway through the main course but you can't skip dessert on a price fixe dinner! The careful attention to detail, the homemade ice cream (you can ALWAYS tell the difference!), the mint leaves, the raspberry sauce, the housemade whipped cream... Just absolutely blew me away. The perfect end to a perfect meal and now that I'm browsing my photos and talking about it, I'm practically drooling and can't wait to go back for another meal there. Absolute 10/10, will definitely eat here again. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do it. read more

We needed to go to a wake near there so we had an early dinner.5:15. Got the winter price fix. Even though it's spring. It was a lovely Brussels sprouts warm with Parmesan and garlic crust bread.

Service was wonderful and attentive.. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant last night. The warm and homey ambience was beautiful..when we walked in we were greeted by a terrific acoustic guitarist playing tunes from 80s and 90s. We starred it off with a few drinks at the bar, and they were very accommodating, as I love a bourbon with a solid chunk of ice. We sat upstairs, and I must say the decor was tastefully done . Our appetizers included mussels and calamari, which were both delicious, followed by entrees of lamb chops, filet mignon and a delicious braised short rib parpafelle pasta, so tender and delicious..all dishes very tasty and plentiful They were terrific choices for glasses of wine and we had a an excellent Cabernet from Sonoma Valley. The service was terrific. Our waiter was friendly and attentive I would highly recommend the place and would absolutely go back. read more

Food is expensive, but really amazing. Interesting location and waterfront make it a must checkout restaurant for great cuisine. Staff is wonderful. I have had my share of friendly and courteous and attentive waitresses and waiters there over the years. I can personally vouch for that, but unfortunately I can not promise you every single one will be the same each time! The only negative? No delivery. That sucks...when your paying so much money for expensive high quality food, and have to drive out in order to get your food. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Outdoor dining with view of the lake is really nice. Restaurant is great for a date night.

I went here for the crab cake. it was good but not what I expected. I just had one in Baltimore which had chunks of crab in it. this one looked commercially made. it was perfectly round. I also had the beet salad. that was very good. I had the short ribs with macaroni. it was good, nothing exceptional. the deserts were disappointing. I had the apple pastry with ice cream, one very small scoop of ice cream. one more thing they charge for each glass of soda. I did not expect that for this class of restaurants. read more

thyme - Chicken kabob and Filet Mignon of Beef - New American Near Me - Roslyn, New York

Its "Tyme" to start holding trendy overpriced bistros to the same standards of other $50 plate culinary spots. Tyme definitely has a cool vibe. Its nestled in the heart of quaint historic Roslyn. A converted 150 yr home sits directly across the street from The Tower. I was impressed! Then, the menu: it was well arranged and had a fair selection of wine. I ordered a swordfish steak, MR lollypop lamb chops and a couple of seasonal salads. The salads were tiny but tasty. Thats ok, since we're more pickers and grazers than big meal devourers. However, when the swordfish steak came out overcooked, resembling two chicken slider patties, I was concerned. I don't know if the chef squeezed and extra order or he just does't know the meaning of swordfish STEAK. Rename the item Swordfish medallions and place it on the apps menu for $11.95. Everyone would be happier. The pear martini signature cocktail was tasty but when the bartender ran out of pears, she and my inattentive overtipped waiter argued about who was going into the kitchen to slice a pear. Very unprofessional. Unfortunately, the service and food doesn't compare to the atmosphere, making this social hotspot nothing more than a meeting place to cocktail and listen to music. Maybe NOT next Tyme! read more

Really delicious food and amazing service. Nice, attentive and quick! Def would recommend and will be returning myself!

I went to Thyme last night to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriend. This is now our third time going and they consistently provide excellent service and food. The mussels were amazing and the filet mignon continues to be one of the best I ever had. I've seen a few comments about the host being rude.. he was not at all. He even said "thank you for dining with us again" like he remembered us. A table of 4 came in insisting they had a reservation (mind you, this is 8pm on a busy Saturday night) and he accommodated them immediately. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We catered a dinner for 15 pp yesterday from Thyme Restaurant for my Dad's birthday celebration. Thyme and Nancy went over and beyond to make our dinner superb. From the preparation of the food, directions on how to reheat, delivery (which was on time), even a phone call to make sure everything was okay. Whatever I asked for regarding the menu was met with a yes of course! The entire experience was wonderful especially the food. All of us commented all evening how delicious everything was. We felt like we were eating at a restaurant. The most important thing was my Dad loved it. I would highly recommend Thyme to cater any event you want to make a special impression on. read more
