    Mezzi Rigatoni
    Sandy R.

    Came for a friend birthday last (Saturday) night. I was the first to arrive and went to the bar. Bar is small in my option which led me to stand at the side. Might've been a manager that asked if I was being helped and got the attention of the bartender to get me a drink. Drink was pretty good (forgot the name). There was live entertainment by dancers with fire and dancing which made everyone more alive and fun. It made the atmosphere better. Later in the evening they had another entertainment for breaking the plate. It was fun! The waiter was so nice and great service. He did not let us feel rushed and was very accommodating. I got mussels without sausage and the rigatoni pasta. Mussel was in tomato sauce. The pasta was really good, was firm and tasty. I liked the food. I'd definitely recommend for birthday dinner or nice date night.

    Went on a rainy weekday and the restaurant was practically empty so I can't speak to the vibe on a regular night but I sure did have an amazing time! The restaurant's aesthetic is perfect for photos I'm talking content creator, social media socialist level stuff. Inside and out it's gorgeous. Now to the food. Again I went on a quieter night maybe, other than me and my party there were probably 4 other people in the restaurant. I say that to say our food and drinks were so dang good! I think the bartender and chef had enough time to give our orders all of their attention and I am super happy about that. Even the waiters were attentive checking in, refilling waters, cleaning the table etc. 10/10 for customer service in my book. I hope this level of service is the same on a busy night. I will definitely be back to see because I can't say enough good things about this place.

    This was a very nice Mediterranean experience. First, the location right on the water was so beautiful. I've been to Greece and felt like I was back there when visiting this spot. The food was 10/10. I went with an appetite and order a lot of small plates to start and the octopus was phenomenal. I was almost too full to finish my actual entree, but that was good as well. The drinks were tasty, nothing spectacular but they looked pretty and tasted good. I wanted dessert, but by the time we were able to order most things were sold out. We made it early enough to see one of the performances before being seated for our dinner and it was amazing. Everyone was up and ready to party during the show. We also participated in the plate breaking tradition and that was a ton of fun. You do have to purchase the plates, but it's super cheap and an experience for sure. Luckily they stall dinner during that time, so we didn't go back to cold food after the plate breaking. Our server was fun and really helped us with making some good selections. Service was a little slow though, but it was pretty busy that night. Overall, I'd try this spot again (especially to try some of their desserts).

    My Saturday afternoon outing with my friend Pat F. was really long overdue. Between life, errands, rescheduling several times and the usual hustle, it felt amazing to finally catch up over tasty food and cocktails- especially being right on the water in City Island. I hadn't realized that Atik now occupies the space where Portofino was until she mentioned it. Portofino held a special place for me when my husband and I used to come for nice dining and it truly stood out among the strip back in the day. But now....hellooooo Atik! What a transformation! Gone are the heavy burgundy drapes of the past. Atik has done a complete 180°. The space now feels bright and open from the moment you walk in. It has a fresh, modern vibe with light wood floors and then BOOM- you're greeted by a spacious main dining area with a mix of seating styles. A couple of rounded booths and a massive eye-catching bar. And just when I thought we'd seen it all, our hostess led us to the outdoor dining area and wow. Right on the water, it felt like we'd been transported somewhere along the Mediterranean coast, complete with loungey, SiriusXM Chill-esque music tying it all together real nice. Our server Christopher, was pleasant and accommodating- even when my friend and I kept asking him to give us "just another minute" as we caught up. The service was awesome throughout. We shared a Greek salad, a large and crispy fried calamari order and hummus+pita. That trio alone was plenty to graze on while we talked, sipped and soaked in the view. And speaking of sipping- I can't forget the cocktails. I had two spritzes: a classic Aperol and their signature Atik Spritz. Usually, spritzes are more club soda than Prosecco, but not here. These were bold and boozy in the best way. Not watered-down- just well-made drinks. At least mine were. I just hope all the other cocktails are powerful too! Based on Atik's overall rating, maybe they need to figure out how to serve a medium-rare steak that's actually medium-rare, or bring your drink before you're halfway through your meal- but let's chill. Atik just landed on the block. Funny how every time a new spot opens in our borough folks turn into food critics and hospitality experts overnight. Give them a second to find their groove before dragging them.

    Absolutely loved everything about this place..!! We visited on a weekend, so they also had some great shows for us. Decor is beautiful, and both the indoor and outdoor seating is set up really well in a comfortable manber with enough space to move about. You get a great waterfront view with outdoor seating, and the place especially looks great in the evenings. We ordered a variety of cocktails, apps, Entrées, and dessert, and we didn't have a single thing to complain about. All the cocktails tasted yummy and were not watered down. Food was just great all around, be it presentation, quality, taste, or quantity. I personally loved their Risotto and the Clam dessert. Service was fast enough considering how packed they were. Daniel, who waited on us, was friendly, extremely helpful, and just had a great attitude, doing whatever was needed to make our visit hassle free. I would love to revisit, and definitely a solid place for Date Night, or celebrate with family or friends. Most of the negative reviews seem to be from when the restaurant had just opened, and it looks like they have worked out all the kinks. We didn't face any issues when we visited.

    Beautiful restaurant but really dissatisfied with the food. Upon entry you can tell a lot of money and thought went into curating the aesthetic of the restaurant. Host was nice and service was pleasant all around. The place is also accessible to those with disabilities so A plus there. Unfortunately the food really fell flat throughout the brunch course. We ordered pretty basic uncomplicated dishes so if you can't get the basics right .. I ordered the steak egg & potatoes. Steak was requested medium it came out well done. We also ordered bacon eggs & potatoes. The bacon was burnt and hard. Portions are also on the smaller side I was still hungry when I left. The Limone dessert looked promising until it wasn't smh the outside was good very reminiscent to white chocolate but the inside just odd. I anticipated it to have a citrusy lemon ish taste nope just straight up acidic! Idk if it was spoiled but if that was the goal flavor it's not good. We also ordered a mango cheesecake to go please look at the photo smh the standard restaurant portion is 3.4/4 oz they gave us a slither of cake for $17. For that alone They should really be ashamed of themselves.. also just to note automatic 20% gratuity on the bill no matter the party size. Seems like they've invested a lot into looks and none into the actual dinning experience. I would hope dinner is better but I heard from a few mutuals who've dined at night that it's unfortunately the same experience. I was really hoping this was a new gem in the Bronx although very beautiful inside the experience would probably better enjoyed for cocktails and apps before or after an actual food date somewhere else. I'm so sad to write this review tbh I was hoping to enjoy this place.

    First time dining at this new establishment in City Island. Love the ambiance totally a picturesque moment upon entry. I came early on a Saturday to enjoy the food and an experience the vibe when it's not busy. It was a beautiful day sunny day definitely hot for October weekend. Hostess sat us down immediately we chose an outside seating due to the weather. Staff was so hospitable my server was a gem and gave great selections off the menu. My passion fruit spicy margaritas was delicious I had two. I'm an oyster girl so definitely ordered a few dozen. My other favorite apps were the Tuna and the shrimp ceviche. The Tuna had levels of flavor and the pita chips yum yum. Will most definitely be back at night for a dinner but was definitely a great new spot on City Island. In the end it will Hit your wallet but you're paying for high class service and amazing food.

    The atmosphere for a Wednesday night was very quiet and calm compared to a weekend. We loved it since we brought our 3 month old with us for my husband's birthday. The service was good from our server she gave good advice on what to get, as well as the people dropping off the food. I had a lychee martini & another drink with pineapple both were delicious. My husband had a drink with Hennessy that reminded him of tamarind & refreshing drink which I also thought tasted great and we usually don't like the same drink. For appetizers we had the oysters which tasted fresh, & the ceviche, the fish was good the sauce was ok. For dinner we had the branzino that came with cauliflower mash and lobster ravioli which 10/10 for both especially the cauliflower mash was amazing with Brussel sprouts. For dessert we had a pistachio treat which was creamy & reminded me of the inside of Dubai chocolate & a mango passionfruit cake that came with a side of vanilla ice cream. I wasn't crazy about the cake. Also note there are no changing tables for babies so I'm guessing not infant friendly but I did see older kids there. I would come again

    Opa!! A definite must to break the plates at the end of the night.

    First off baby! Let me tell you the place was amazing. Daniel our waiter was very attentive. We did not want or need anything. They made sure we were well taken care of. They have valet free of charge just make sure you tip for their hard work. Now let's talk about this place! The vibe is off the charts. The DJ, the shows, breaking the plates, and the food hunny was out of this world. We spent 5 hours here no time limit on the table and they do charge 20% gratuity. This place is gorgeous and well worth it. Reservations are hard to come by, so if you get in count yourself grateful for an unforgettable dining experience

    Food 6.5/10 Ambience 10/10 Service 100/10 Food was decent. I think sitting on the water and the music really set the vibe. The wait staff though is what really shines here. My water was never empty. The moment my drink came close to empty they asked if I wanted another. Waiter had no problem with finding out if he could get us an off the menu drink. Then a complimentary dessert for my brothers birthday ! I'd go back.

    Entrance and dress code they appreciate.

    Terrible low-tier service. WOMEN SHOULD BE RESPECTED NO MATTER WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE OR WHAT THEY HAVE ON. The doorman (the first person you encounter coming to this restaurant) does not know how to conduct himself in an upscale environment. Not to say, that this is an upscale establishment either way, but it seems that the owners did want to deliver that impression in terms of this being a new and trendy restaurant. The doorman argued with me and my friend - at the beginning of the evening and at the end of the evening. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. The doorman greeted me with " I can see your vag***", while i walked up to the restaurant feeling happy carrying my birthday cake. Before you greet me with a Happy Birthday and a smile, that is what I receive - a PERVERTED message. I told him its impossible he could see my private parts because the bottom of my skirt has a bodysuit clasp mini short underneath. Not sure if he mistook the color of the fabric for my private part. It was EMBARRASSING and DISRESPECTFUL, and disgraceful especially in front of the other guest of my party and other guest of the restaurant at the door way. I asked for the owner in tears. I was crying and upset for much of the evening. Crying on my special occasion. The doorman also told me that I was insulting him and "harassing his job" whatever that may mean, since I told him that he could not possibly be seeing my private parts due to the design of the outfit and that maybe he doesn't know fashion. I was told by management that they would make it right and the reality of that, their low tier customer service resolution was to give me and my 2 friends , 1 round of drinks at THE END of the evening after we had already been ordering and drinking at dinner. On the way out my friend asked the same doorman how come he singled us out and allowed others who did not meet the dress code of the restaurant to proceed without harassment - his answer to her was calling her (a beautiful Ghanian woman) an animal and tell her to "go back to the projects". This is not the type of service you expect at any place. Truly embarrassing and disgraceful. I will state the unnecessary, that I WILL NEVER BE A CUSTOMER AT THIS RESTAURANT EVER AGAIN. I will definitely make sure no one I know has to encounter this type of behavior that I had to endure at this low tier service establishment. I feel VIOLATED that I was greeted with such a PERVERTED message and UNPROFESSIONAL delivery, and DEEPLY HURT that my beautiful, Ghanian party guest was CALLED AN ANIMAL. I created a video review with pictures of how other guests at the restaurant were dressed that did not receive the same poor treatment that I received. It is on my social platforms where I shared my experience. Poor management and lacks service training needed to run a high end establishment. I am not sure how much longer this place will survive with these kind of employees and low level of hospitality training (if any training at all is given). WOMEN SHOULD BE RESPECTED NO MATTER WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WITHOUT BEING BULLIED DUE TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE OF THE DOORMAN OR MANAGEMENT. If you like to give patronage to restaurants that have staff trained in high end hospitality and service visit another restaurant in NYC or even another place in the world like Malta where I just returned from and was blown away by the high level of hospitality training. Deeply embarrassed and hurt and could not sleep for days after this. This may seem trivial to some, but to have my beautiful friends that I have known since high school and university, and I put effort into coming out to celebrate a special occasion, dressed up and coming together for a positive reason and to have that stolen by one miserable doorman, it breaks my heart. I will never forget this bad treatment. 3 people in the restaurant tried to improve my experience (2 wait staff and 1 host - I appreciate their individual personalities, but sadly it was overshadowed by the doorman's nasty behavior)

    Came to Atik to celebrate my birthday with my husband on a Monday night, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had read reviews about long wait times, but thankfully it wasn't crowded at all -- a nice surprise! The ambiance is absolutely beautiful -- sexy, and perfect for a special occasion or date night. The atmosphere really set the tone for a memorable evening. We started with a trio of appetizers: the calamari, crab cake, and eggplant croquettes -- each one was perfectly cooked and seasoned, especially the eggplant croquettes, which were a standout for me. For our entrees, we ordered the short rib and the skirt steak with risotto -- both dishes were delicious and well-seasoned, rich in flavor, and plated beautifully. The drinks were also on point -- creative, well-balanced, and just strong enough to feel like you're celebrating something. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only reason I'd even pause before giving a perfect 10/10 is that our entrees took a while to come out, but honestly, everything else made up for it. Highly recommend for a special night out. We'll definitely be back!

I'm also happy to report that their happy hour, though still in its early stages, is shaping up to be a solid way to give them a try. We ordered the mussels frites, fish sliders, crab bites, Brussels sprouts, and the pretzel with cheese. The absolute standouts were the fish sliders and the mussels in wine sauce. We usually get the fish and chips and mussels from the regular menu, so we had a feeling these would be the winners and they were. I'd 100% recommend both plates. We ended up ordering two rounds of fish sliders so that should say it all! :) The Brussels sprouts were roasted and simply prepared, which I really appreciated. I'm honestly over seeing fried Brussels on every menu, they're rarely that good and oily. If I could tweak anything, I'd add a sauce or drizzle for a little extra dimension, maybe balsamic or a sweet chili dip. Still, I'd absolutely order them again; they make for a great, lighter snack or side. The pretzel was pretty standard, but I liked that it didn't come salted since the cheese sauce has plenty of seasoning. It came out piping hot and stayed that way until the very last bite.  The crab bites were just okay for me. The sauce they come with is tasty, but I wish there was a little more flavor mixed into the crab itself, maybe some onions, peppers or herbs. However, they're not bad at all; they're full of crab meat and overall really solid. If you prefer a simpler flavor profile, you'll probably love them, especially with a squeeze of fresh lemon. We genuinely love Dakota's, and we'll keep coming back to enjoy the views and the great service. It's been nice seeing them evolve into a true neighborhood staple with all the events they've been hosting. Right now they're even running a toy drive, and they have toys available on site that you can purchase and drop directly into the donation box. Such a clever and thoughtful touch.  It's also worth mentioning that they're in full holiday mode right now, with decorations throughout the space. Whether you just want to soak up the festive atmosphere or snap a cute picture by the tree, they've got you covered.

The vibes were amazing from start to finish: great music (major shoutout to the DJ), perfect lighting, and a lively, fun atmosphere that made the night feel special. The food was fantastic and the portions were huge -- seriously, two or three people could've eaten from my plate alone. I ordered the pernil with rice and beans, plus a variety appetizer platter. The pork was juicy (though I do wish the skin was a little crispier), the beans were flavorful, and both the garlic and chimichurri sauces were top-notch. The potato salad was okay, but overall, the meal delivered big flavor and big portions. Since it was my birthday, the team surprised me with a birthday flan and tres leches dessert plate that the restaurant provided. It was the perfect ending -- sweet, creamy, and delicious. The birthday celebration itself was incredible; you truly feel like a superstar. Between the LED signs, the DJ shoutouts, and your name flashing across the booth screen, the energy was unmatched. The drinks were just okay, nothing to write home about, but they got the job done. The only other downsides were the limited parking (especially at night) and the two-hour time limit for our party of ten. Still, it was a fantastic night overall. Great food, great vibes, and a truly fun experience. I'd highly recommend Made in Puerto Rico for birthdays, team outings, or anyone looking for flavorful food and an energetic atmosphere.
