What does Oyster Bay, NY and "The Dish With Dean"
Have in common? They both love 
Jack Halyards American Bar and Grill!
Located at 62 South Street
Oyster Bay, NY 
516-922-2999
 
Coming to Jack Halyards on Saturday is a double bang for your buck. Not only do you get to eat some really amazing food, but you get to listen to some of the best local musicians around.
This Saturday night we had the pleasure of listening to Steven Rodriguez from East Norwich.
Check out his music video Mr. Right Now on Youtube.
As for the food we will begin with the Blue Crab Corn Chowder that was delicious. It was served in a bowl that looked as though it was full but the amount was just enough.

We ordered the Kung Pao Calamari served in a sesame garlic sauce with crushed peanuts and Asian sprouts. The calamari was light and crisp and the sauce did not make for a heavy dish. Sweet and crunchy with a touch of heat! 
In addition to these we ordered a delicious beet salad that was filled with amazing red and yellow grape tomatoes. Mixed with fresh greens and candied walnuts in a raspberry vinaigrette with crumpled bleu cheese. 
On to the Entrees!
I chose to have the Ahi Seared Tuna, Black and Blue served with Wasabi Mashed Potatoes and an Asian flare of Bok Choy. A mango salsa and Orange Tiger sauce added a little heat to the perfectly cooked and tender Tuna medallions.
  The next dish we tasted was the Wok cooked Duck which was served in a wonderful presentation but not quite what we expected.
A bit too much work for something cooked in a wok!
Not our favorite of the dishes but the drinks were more than enough to keep this one happy.
Mr. Landshark had said that he was seafood out so he ordered the Skirt Steak. Once again the steak was cooked to his liking but in his own words and this is from a man who loves salt! "The steak is good but a bit salty". 
I would have to say that this is a place that has major potential to satisfy even the most finicky eater and if you include the great local music artists, then it is a great place to hang any time of the year. 
After dinner be sure to take a stroll into town and look around. 
This town rocks!
Enjoy!
