"My boyfriend and I came here for my mom's birthday today. She is very set on going to Sammy's fish box; it is her favorite City Island seafood restaurant, so I wanted to take her someplace different for a change. Needless to say this place did not disappoint, our server was a man named Nicholas. The experience itself was phenomenal; we got there a little after it opened so we were practically the first ones there almost. We sat in a section with window seats It was very cozy, the music was giving very comfortable and jam. The food was delicious, the appetizers were also delicious, the bread we kept requesting and the drinks were definitely slammin. My mom most definitely enjoyed herself here today and I think she has a new restaurant to add to her radar at City Island thankfully, I know I sure do. I definitely look forward to coming back here and I highly recommend this place to anybody looking for not only good food, good service, good drinks, good ambience but overall a good time."

"The food was really good. I did get the blackened steak with roasted potatoes and broccoli along with their version of seafood Alfredo. The customer service is superb. They were very welcoming and friendly. They do have free parking. If I have one complaint I would say that the potatoes was hard and the broccoli was bland but the customer service along with the Alfredo made me smile and that’s why I’m giving them five stars they had decent music."

"A number of locals and regulars recommended we not miss Artie’s while visiting City Island. Quite an institution with a great staff. We met the owner as we were seated. We sat in the bar room but at a window table with the sunlight streaming in. Bar was almost full at 630p on a Monday night. Excellent sign. Great classic jazz playing on the sound system. The room was comfortable and warm and full of laughter. Our server took our drinks order and recommended some items off the regular menu and the specials board. Of particular interest were the largest steamer clams I’d ever seen. They buy their seafood fresh 3 times a week. Nothing goes in the freezer. All our food was delicious. The complimentary bread butter and olive oil was exactly what we needed with those clams. By the time dinner was over we’d made friends with a local couple at the bar who got married at the Yacht Club here in the late 80s. So we moved over and had a few more rounds and listened to stories about the old days in this nice little town. I highly recommend this place for very good food, excellent service, strong drinks, unique ambience and overall a grand time."
