During these last days of winter and since it's St. Patrick's Day Weekend, City Island Images…read moredecided to visit this local favorite. The Snug almost never gets really busy or crowded, but tonight was a special night. The music was superb and the drinks were always strong and reasonably priced, which is they way it should be! And like most Fridays a local musician plays and tonight, the most famous City Island recording artist owned this crowd, while providing excellent music and delightful entertainment. Pepe sang an eclectic mix of songs from Dean Martin to Credence Clearwater Revival favorites. The Snug has a fabulous atmosphere, good eats at reasonable prices. Although the bar has a few color monitors showing local sports, tonight all eyes and ears were focused on Pepe and his son, who were pleasing the crowd with American favorites. A good time was had by all. Take a listen to the link below and see if you remember his oldie, but goodie hit and why Pepe Cardona is City Island's most favorite recording artist. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV9SfW8kX9I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtgYNcAsYZ0

Overpriced and overhyped in my opinion. We came here for my sisters birthday and despite having a…read morereservation we still had to wait about 20-30mins to get seated bc our table "wasn't ready" once we were sat the service was super slow and all over the place. We were a table of 8 and drinks came out at random times despite all of us ordering together as well as the appetizers. For my meal I ordered the salmon and it was undercooked and extremely oily, so much so that the skin was soggy and just a mess. Then they try to upsell on everything, coming around the tables asking us if we wanted to pay $10 to break a plate, there was supposed to be a show and that didn't happen, overall, it was overpriced bad food, so much so, I ended up stopping at McDonald's on the way home bc there was no way I was eating that salmon. As for the vibe, everyone was dressed up as if they were going to a super fancy place. I didn't dress up because LOL, it's city island yall....

We love…read morebeing able to take a quick walk over for some bites and cocktails because the vibes are great and the hospitality is always on point. 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.

Sadly this place is one of the only open on the island after hours... for now…read more My burger and calamari were ordered over the phone. I was given a 20 min eta. It took a little longer than 20 but it was nominal. The calamari came unseasoned with tartar and not marinara sauce... im sorry did I order crab cakes? Also have you ever heard of old bay? If you're not a fan of seasoning don't serve food that demands it. My 6 year old can handle that one The burger was obviously from the freezer and not fresh. It was warmed. Not cooked. Do you know how hard it is to serve a frozen patty still raw? That takes talent. Thankfully I saw it before I got too far into it. I ordered the "Wayne" burger. I guess it was meant to come partially raw with raw accoutrements. The fries... well they're on par with the rest. Soggy, raw and... not worth the order. Maybe I'll try to feed this to my dog... Actually I won't. He deserves better.

The walls are covered with nautical themed items, animals and fish which is so fitting for the beachy town the bar is located in. We were served right away when we pulled up a chair at the bar and they had angry orchard which is my favorite cider so that immediately made me happy. What I really liked was that there was an ATM which is super convenient. They also had phone chargers at the bar which is something that is so important but that is not seen very often. The bar was fully stocked and they have a TouchTunes jukebox which doubles as a free photo booth that emails photos directly to you. I feel lucky to have a clean, stocked and spacious bar a few blocks away. Will deff be back.

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.

Friends took me here for my birthday and we had reservations at another place, but they "lost" them? All of us have been here before so we decided why not, and see what happens. The place was incredibly busy, we had about a 20 minute wait but it was worth it! Our server Robert was top notch. Professional and cordial. He Immediately came over with glasses of water, garlic bread, cheese and olive tapas, a house salad, and napkins. Tried the broiled fisherman's combo: shrimp, scallops, fish fillet, mussels, stuffed clams, lobster tail, and a side, I opted for linguini with garlic aioli. Everything was cooked very well and the presentation amazing and beautiful. Now here's something you don't see every day; an actual stuffed clam where the clam is still partially attached to the shell! None of that surimi crap! Finished the meal with a double espresso, shared a tartufo and cheese cake. I don't know if the digestif was complementary, but it was a nice touch. I don't know how the kitchen keeps up with the orders. The waitstaff must put a few miles on their feet a day and a cardio workout carrying the trays overflowing with food. Amazing! Everything in the restaurant is kept neat, clean, and organized. The music is not overwhelming. You can hear each other at the table. When the weather is a little nicer, they have beautiful outdoor seating with views of Long Island sound. It is very romantic, when the sun is setting, you can imagine yourself being somewhere exotic and far away. As the song goes; "Sometimes you don't know what you got till it's gone."
