  I've been coming here over 35 years now. When I want seafood I come here. The food is excellent. I love it. And the bartenders know how to make excellent drinks. And the whole staff cater really great to you and your family, and guests. I recommend this restaurant to everyone!!!

  The food here is consistently fresh and well cooked. Each meal comes with a side dish of either linguini, French fries, baked potato or rice . The restaurant also gives you the option of salad or clam chowder along with garlic bread for appetizers. If you are wondering about this restaurants drink menu , I’ll be the first to tell you they are strong . I’ve never had a water down drink at this restaurant which I appreciate. Lastly there are a few options for dessert such as pound cake , carrot cake and chocolate cake which are sweet but savory. Honestly, This is a great restaurant.

  Love their food! I usually order the Snow Crab legs. They are fresh, meaty, and tasty. I'm also in love with the garlic bread. If you catch the lunch special, the rates are great. The service is pretty good too. The only thing lacking is the decor. It's a bit dated.

  Food is delicious, it's a great atmosphere. Very professional and kind hostess. Just when you order make sure you specify how you want it. I had the broiled red snapper, the fish was delicious as fir taste. It was the breading I could have done with out. All in all wonderful.

  The experience in this restaurant on Mother's Day was horrific! I made reservations 2 weeks prior and when we got there was a mob scene. A real fire hazard! The young hostess was trying really hard to accommodate my family (my 78 year old mother included), however, although we had made reservations we were told our table would not be ready for another 2 hours. The manager quickly told us we could leave if we didn't want to wait. It was the most unprofessional and low class treatment I have ever experienced. To top it off, once I explained my concerns about my mother, the manager, went to the back, sent a skinny Mexican guy to scare us off. He came and said "you know what, I am the manager and I don't want to sit you at all"! I have never experienced such low life treatment at a restaurant!. This place is the most low-class ghetto establishment in City Island. I wish I could post this review without giving it any stars.
