Here We Go:  After passing by Tellers many times but not actually going in I finally decided to give it a try.  The restaurant itself, a bank building, is beautiful and the old vault makes for an interesting atmosphere.  But the food, while good, was not great.  The duck fat fries might as well have been cooked in vegetable oil because you couldn't taste any additional flavor.  The steak was not bad but it failed in comparison to other high end steakhouses on Long Island and the prices were enough for the steak to have been high end.  The sides were actually above average but the service was slow and inconsistent.  After dinner, we stood at the bar waiting for the bartender to appear and eventually we gave up.  The coat room had closed when we left, so we had to find a hostess to open it and get our jackets.  The best thing about Tellers may have been the drinks, which is not saying much for a supposedly high end steakhouse.  

Feast Your Eyes:

Tellers has a great cocktail and wine selection.

Bottom Line:  Not worth it.  Take your money to Blackstone.
