Foster Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

Honestly, it was good but they need to step it up I’d honestly say 3.5 with reservations.

With a shiny “2024 best high end restaurant” plaque greeting you, half of the tables had children/babies with accompanying screaming and throwing things and iPads on Friday during prime dinner time at 7pm. It was not a good vibe. At all.

We moved to the heated but frankly lukewarm ‘patio’ to escape Chucky Cheese vibes but the experience definitely felt disconnected from there, even if the food was good.

Foster management—Don’t let your restaurant be a playground for rich people and their screaming children. Your food is good and priced accordingly but the delivery falls flat. You can’t charge $10 for bread and $1/pp for water (I dgaf how it’s filtered) plus a laughable 10 stalk $10 broccoli rabe side, and have screaming kids. Period. That bread was fine. It was not $10 + velociraptor-child-screaming-worthwhile.

Pork chop was really good and the butter lettuce salad with watermelon radish was a delight. Good wine list, good cocktails. There are many, many places for with family, friends and kids, but you can’t charge those prices and have it both ways. It’s simply not fair. Tell people to get a babysitter for kids under 5 to enjoy your overpriced bread and otherwise delightfully good food. So...

If you are looking for a dining experience of the highest quality in Nassau County, look no further because Foster is it. Chef Jason Potter and his partner and wife, Tanya, have brought Manhattan-calibre food to the oceanside town of Sea Cliff. The space is beutiful, elegant, and clean, the cocktails are delicious, and they are putting together a pretty fine wine list as well. And the food! Chef Jason lets his Blue Ribbon pedigree show while presenting food that is completely his own. He presents carefully sourced, local, seasonal ingredients simply and beautifully, with a deft hand which allows their quality to shine. From grilled octopus, to hand-cut papardelle with ramps and morels, to elk osso bucco, every dish is more delicious than the last. And you are missing out if you do not treat yourself to the wild-caught oysters motoyaki! Foster brings something truly special to the community of Sea Cliff. It is worth a visit from...

This is a true Destination Restaurant ! Every time we have eaten here we are kinda stunned as to the variety of dishes and how every dish is meticulously crafted - not to mention how delicious it all is....

It's not often that you find a restaurant where, from Appetizer to Main Course to Dessert is so consistently impressive. The drinks and Cocktails are equally well - crafted.

Our family has been lucky enough to have eaten in many of the finest Restaurants in NYC and around the world, and this true gem in Nassau County ranks up there with them.

The wood fire grill is used to perfection - the whiff of smoke one gets when they enter the restaurant makes your taste buds start tingling.

The service and staff is super professional and welcoming. The Chef and cooks are so accurate and consistently taking time to treat each dish like they actually care. Rare to see.

Our only regret ?

That we don't eat here more...
