Gillis & George Poll
Gillis and George Poll have been establishing distinctive, upscale restaurants for nearly 40 years. They were raised in Manhasset, NY, with the legacy of a New York City family-owned food service business dating back to the 1920’s. They branched off on their own in 1980 when they opened Pappas Restaurant in Williston Park, Long Island, which later became Riverbay Seafood Bar & Grill. Hard work, high standards, an eye for detail and a great staff enabled them to grow their business.
Today they own and operate 8 restaurants: Bryant & Cooper Steakhouse, Majors Steakhouse, Cipollini Trattoria & Bar, Bar Frites, Hendrick’s Tavern, The Bryant, and Toku (in both Manhasset, NY and Aventura, FL).
Gillis and George are dedicated to providing their guests with unique and distinguished dining experiences. Inviting atmosphere, warm hospitality, and exceptional quality combine to make the Poll Brothers restaurants beloved in their communities.
