Review Jp's City Island - Bronx

First time going to JP's The food is just phenomenal The crab meat is the best I've ever had. The food is a must everything great. I highly recommend this establishment. Service is very good very hospitable. Best of all when the whole island is jammed JP's is the place to be. The view from outside is beautiful. You can see Orchard beach from the out door seating. Beautiful views.

As we were looking for nearby places to eat we happened across this gem on google. Right on the water so I know the views of the waves during the daytime would be amazing. We had no idea what to get because everything sounded amazing. But when we did get our food, just WOW! The portions are huge and well worth the trip. The owner was nice and they had plenty of seats for large and small parties. I would definitely go back again.

I have loved this place for over 15 years. The food never disappoints, and the views are breathtaking! John is the ultimate host/owner and I always have a great time when I come here.

It was great, the food is amazing. You get your money worth. They serve big plates which basically if your very hungry you will be full. Juicy and overall tasty. The staff is very friendly and really nice and helpful. The owner is such a nice man and very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend thank you guys for your great service.

I like to tell the owner John thank you for His Hospitality and for the cheesecake. Service was awesome love the waitress ! That took care of us. Lobster was good . The shrimp Was nice size fresh right out the sea. I want to thank J p's again for the hospitality will return. Sincerely ,Sassy

This is the only restaurant that I eat at in city Island. The food is delicious and fresh very flavorful in big portions. The garlic bread omg!! Every time I come here my family and I leave happy! They are crab legs are so filling!! The jumbo shrimp Are the fresh shrimp I’ve ever had. I recommend the shrimp stuffed with crab meat. You will thank me for it

Have not had a meal on City Island in some time. JP's is a hidden gem and not to be missed! John couldn't have been more gracious. The food was delicious and just kept coming! Shrimp, clams, and one of the best lobsters I have ever eaten. All fresh and prepared to perfection. Drinks were delicious too. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you again to John and his terrific staff!

If you want real legit sea food. This is the first place to go. Most ppl have no idea what they are consuming. U want real sea food this is the only place to go on the island. I eat here at least 4 days a week. Don’t be fooled by any bad reviews or these so called restaurants on the island.

What a great place for a celebration! My family went to celebrate my birthday! The atmosphere was cozy,, the food was delicious, our waitress was extremely attentive and the owner John was so gracious! We had a ball,, and we're are all in agreement... reserve a table and enjoy!!!

Great little fine went with a regular who's friends with the owner (John), so it was a great time had by all solid strong cocktails and amazing portions of food.......my girl friend and I shared the I believe the Sonny's Combo for two that consisted of broiled lobster tails, stuffed clams, shrimp scampi, scallops and flounder (sorry distracting convo and liquor got me not having a pic of the platter 😕😔). Sonny's Broiled Combo For 2 Shrimps, flounder, scallops, baked clams, and 2 large lobster tails served with a potato (for me) and rice (for my girl) 2 salads and peas (which the menu as a whole could do without). I will definitely be going back and get pics of my food 😃. Sidenote: Even on a rainy day the views were sweet.

I had not visited this JP's in at least 15-18 years or more. It looks EXACTLY the same. It has prime real estate on the island, but it is a hidden gem. The interior could really use an update. However the food is EXCELLENT. JP's is very pricy though but worth it. Our server was Great.

This was my second time visiting JP's. Food is amazing! Decor is very unique. It has a sort of retro vibe to it. Staff is always super friendly. My cousin got a free t-shirt from the owner. You can't go wrong with JP's. Next time you're by City Island, Please visit. You won't regret it. The drinks are great too. They'll sneak up on you.....👀👀👀👀👀

Fantabulous !!! What amazing service by the.hostess and server. The food was fresh, tasty and delish . Omg must try stuffed flounder with shrimp and crabmeat, shrimp scampi, fried shrimp. Good portions and huge shrimps.

Contacted restaurant and spoke with John (owner/host) who was friendly, informative, and a real nice guy. My wife and I entered the restaurant for dinner and were seated when John came over and introduced himself. John mentioned all fish dishes were wild caught not farm raised (a plus). A large loaf of garlic bread was brought to the table and it was delicious. You could taste the garlic (amazing). My wife ordered the twin lobster tails (each one 8oz) and I had broiled scallops and shrimp. Lobster tails were thick so when you cut and ate them you could taste the lobster. Some restaurants I've been to the tails were small and thin, not here,very tasty. My scallops and shrimp were very tasty as well. Both dishes came with potato and peas. John had come out a second time to show us the seasoning he was putting on the fish since we requested no butter (what other establishment would do this?) Salads were standard with many choices of salad dressing.. We also had the fried shrimp with John's homemade tartar sauce. I must tell you the shrimp were huge/butterflied and the tartar sauce was phenominal. I would purchase this in a heartbeat. It was so tasty I was dipping my garlic bread in the sauce. You get what you pay for at JP's. Quality, quantity and an overall great experience. Highly recommend.

I loved the food. The bread was soo good. You have to make sure you save some room for your food. The music is Marvin Gaye style, which I love. The only thing that I really didn't like was that the lights were very dim.

Loved this place. We had the platter for two. Me and hubby have plans to go back. I've been to several places on City Island, but this place is two thumbs up.

The best if you never been to Jps you better get there ASAP Every thing on there menu is a go. Trust me get there ASAP you won’t be disappointed it’s city island Gem �

This is NOT fast food. The sea food is always exquisite. Great staff with a view that makeyou want to live there. Again,this is NOT fast food.The paella is a must try.

Best place to eat on City Island, The owner treats you like family and the food is excellent!!

Food was Superb. A little pricey but worth every dime. Restaurant not handicapped accessible but the owner assisted me n my walker. The owner was a Jewel. The atmosphere was really nice and soothing. Loved it went back twice already.

One of my favorite places to eat on the island. The service was proper and the dim lights made it romantic for me and my girl

It was my first time in New York. The food was amazing and the view was incredible. John made me feel so at home and I will definitely be back.

The food, the views and the owner & staff are awesome!
