Established in 1989, the George Martin Group has focused on creating unique restaurant experiences that are on the culinary cutting edge, delivering artful and ambitious cuisines.

George Martin opened in Rockville Centre that year and promptly received two stars from the New York Times as well as from the L.I. Newsday. George Martin is consistently listed among the top 40 most popular Long Island restaurants in Zagat. In 1996, our second restaurant, Nick Diangelo in Merrick, opened and again merited two stars from the New York Times. The following year, restaurant number three opened in Rockville Centre, Max's Grille & Tavern. In March 2005 a second Nick DiAngelo opened in Long Beach receiving rave reviews from the NY Times and Newsday.

And last year, after a successful nine year run as Max’s Grille & Tavern, the George Martin Group made the decision to reinvent the restaurant as George Martin's Grillfire. This transformation involved a major renovation of the space, as well as the creation of an innovative, new menu.

The George Martin Group opened a fifth restaurant, also located in Long Beach, in May 2007. George Martin's Coastal Grill is a casual, upscale seafood grill by the beach. The menu offers a great selection of seafood specialties, as well as prime steaks, chops and chicken. The design resembles the interior of a fine cabin cruiser - rich in mahogany and seascapes.

We look forward to further expansion of the George Martin brand in the near future with plans to open a George Martin in Douglaston on the Queens/Nassau border. A tentative opening date is in the works for later this year!
