The food was excellent! Hot and tasty! Everything from the garlic bread served when we got there, the clam chowder (Manhattan Red is my favorite!), and the snow crabs and the lobster tail I had. Do yourself a favor and request a table that Lina is a server for for excellent customer service. She kept checking on us to make sure we needed anything! Been there a long time ago but would go there for her again and again!

Had a great lunch. Pricing and Service are great. Everything was delicious. Served quick and hot.

Unapologetically if I don't taste brine on seafood I am dissatisfied and disappointed. If I don't taste brine then I think the worst.
Brine means freshness, means freshly caught. It is but a thin and ultimately crucial link to the Sea...
Without it, I'm eating limp fish. Clams are by far the best though here.

Haven’t been to City Island in over a decade. This trip reminded me of what I’ve been missing. Awesome daily lunch specials like Shrimp done how you like it with crab legs and a lobster tail for under $40 bucks!
To top it all off outstanding customer service. Edgar is an absolute sweetheart who tended to our every need, with a smile. I could hang out there all day. We also lucked out with a local street fair one block away with a variety of eclectic vendors with lots of little goodies. The entire experience was 5 stars ⭐️ I’ll be back for sure💕

I traveled with a group of seniors on a day trip. Each ordered what they felt was right for themselves. I ordered broiled Scallops and asked my server to give me the garlic sauce, it was perfect. My friend had the fisherman's platter and said it was so much food. Before the meal started we had garlic bread. I had the Manhattan clam chowder with my meal. The Scallops came on their own platter and were cooked to perfection. After the meal we had dessert, I had coffee and chocolate 🍫 cake with chocolate 🍫 frosting. The server was very nice and answered all of our concerns with speed and grace. In my opinion.. this is a very good restaurant to bring a friend or family member for a memorable meal.

I've been coming here since Joe V and Sharon were running the restaurant, over 40 years.
The food quality has remained consistently good, but the service is spotty sometimes.
OVERALL: I would recommend this restaurant

Great service. Great strong drinks. Delicious food! I had the crab legs and lobster it was so much crab legs. Big thick crab legs that come out in one piece when you crack it open. So filling and satisfying.

Another Bronx/city island classic. Seafood fried/ baked/ grilled, lots of bread and strong drinks. Been coming here since I was a kid. Throughout covid to present, the service has been consistent which keeps us going. Great spot for large groups and is very popular for Mother’s Day, graduations and the like. Dinners prepared for two is well worth it ! Valet parking- make sure to tip.
