FANTASTIC

by Blondie at Citysearch

From the moment you walk in you feel that the staff is really happy to see you. They treat everyone like family, especially if you ard dining with kids. The food is very fresh and the drinks are refreshing. I can't say enough about this restaurant except that I had dined in almost every other restaurant in City Island but for the past 4 years this is the only one that I now go to.

The only thing that I can say is that when spring/summer comes around I highly recommend dining on their waterfront deck. Sometimes there is a wait of around 1/2 hour for a table but it is well worth it.

• Pros: BEST SEAFOOD & DRINKS
• Cons: WAIT FOR A TABLE IN THE SUMMERTIME

Very overrated

by bklynpooh at Citysearch

I went with someone who saw an ad for the place on TV and was awed by the platters that were shown.. however, in reality, the plates were large but the portions skimpy. A lobster that was supposed to be a pound and a half appeared to be under a pound and my companions shrimp and prime rib combo was pricey, but only had 4 shrimp! Water glasses were not refilled and service was not great, however, our main waiter was friendly. Not worth the trip from anywhere.

• Pros: Valet parking
• Cons: Overpriced, small portions
