Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 7 After having a wonderful Italian lunch on Arthur Avenue with my family this past Sunday, we visited the Met Cloisters and then decided on some seafood for dinner. Whenever I'm in City Island, this cafeteria style restaurant is one of my favorite places to grab some seafood with a beautiful view of the blue waters on a sunny day. My favorite items were the freshly shucked cherrystone and littleneck clams (dozen for $15), jumbo shrimp cocktail (6 for $14), and the fried soft shell crab (5-6 small ones w/out the head). These have always been my go to items here, and remain the best Johnny's Reef has to offer. Their fried scallops (about 18 pieces for $25) are tender, but I do wish the batter was crispier. I did not enjoy the doughy fried oysters (about 15 pieces for $28) or the dry fried whiting (huge piece w/ bone for $18). Btw, neither the Manhattan or New England clam chowder ($7 each) had any clam flavor. If I stick to what I like here and order simply those items, then it would be a very satisfying meal for a reasonable price. When I want a casual seafood meal on City Island, this is still my top choice.

Our waiter, Antonio, was an absolute delight and took great care of us! Fair warning: this place gets PACKED, so be prepared for a wait. One thing I really appreciated, though, was that as soon as our food was ready, they brought it out. Everything arrived HOT and fresh. They start you off with antipasto and garlic bread, and both were SO good. But consider yourself warned pace yourself. We made the rookie mistake of going in a little too hard and were already getting full before our entrées arrived. I mean... you can't go to the Lobster House and not get lobster. I ordered the $49.95 Lobster Clam Bake Special, which came with Maine lobster, mussels, baked clams, corn, clam chowder and dessert. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and for everything included, I thought it was a great value. My boyfriend ordered the grilled Norwegian salmon, and honestly, his was REALLY good too. Now, if you love garlic like I do, GET THE NOODLES. The linguine in that garlicky olive oil sauce was one of my favorite things on the table. My only miss was the clam chowder. Mine had a lot of potatoes and barely any clams, so I would've liked a much better clam-to-potato ratio. The ice cream cake roll that came with my special, was rich and decadent. Definitely a good way to end the meal. Overall, fresh seafood, generous portions, hot food, great value and wonderful service from Antonio. We will absolutely be back!

I came with my wife and while there wasn't much going on in the town, Sammy's was the vibe we were looking for. The restaurant is huge and kitschy. You feel like it's a diner on steroids. Just look at the massive menu with items written in fine print. We saw everyone walking away with leftover bags like they just went grocery shopping so we decided to order less. We went with the Sammy's Broiled Combination and the Piri Piri shrimp appetizer sized. But before we even ordered, they dropped 3 types of bread with pickled vegetables. We are basically full better the food even arrived. Our waiter was swamped. They were definitely understaffed for a Friday afternoon unfortunately. That said, the food was good overall. We won't necessarily be back to City Island anytime soon but if you're here, Sammy's isn't a bad choice.

And we're all like wait why didn't he service us further as we didn't get to ask him for anything else we needed. City island used to be a gem. And used to be where you could come and get some good seafood but it's all sad, bland and old now. It was unacceptable to receive crabs that were not fresh.

Upon arrival the only available table for a party of 2 was directly in front of the DJ speakers so we sat at the bar. The bartender comes over and I tell her we're here for their Tuesday Happy Hour specials. As per their IG post tacos (ALL) are $2. So we ordered chicken, shrimp & steak. The bartender tells me the steak isn't included and is an additional charge. So I pull up the IG post which states differently. She's unaware of the post or special and has to run it by a manager. We ordered 6 tacos but 7 came out. I pointed out the extra taco she apologized and said we wouldn't be charged for it. Next I order the froze. The froze and the margarita were both juice like. Entirely too sweet for the froze and too much sour mix on the margarita. The tacos were mid, steak was tough & chicken wasn't seasoned. The check comes and we were charged the $2 for the steak taco, the 7th taco that I didn't order (the bartender was suppose to comp) was on the bill and froze that was suppose to be $2 as per the IG post was $13. I bring the price difference of the Froze to the bartenders attention and she states that the $2 froze is in a smaller cup than what she gave me. How would I know that? I showed her the IG post with specials upon placing my first order. Clearly if it's a Tuesday special and I'm ordering on a Tuesday that's why I'm ordering it. She said she would have to speak to a manager came back and said the manager wouldn't honor the $2 advertised price. I paid my bill and left. To make a social media post to gain patrons.... Patrons come specifically for said specials and then not honor them?! Such a waste of time and money. The service, food and drinks are subpar at best.

When I arrived, I was excited to see the 2018 Michelin rating sign. We were seated without a reservation since our visit was a little impromptu. Long story short: Our food came out in 40 minutes AFTER I had to get up and grab the waiter's attention to figure out what's going on. My son asked twice to leave because we were just sitting there watching the table next to us receive multiple courses. This is a big deal because my son barely speaks... so for him to note things were taking too long is what really upset me. The waiter paid us NO MIND. I was literally trying to catch his attention and he would keep his back to us and never checked in during those 40 minutes after the initial drink. Even when I ordered two entrees, the waiter recommended we order one and split it (I said no because there's no harm in a to go container). When I received the food, each entree was only the size of a regular take out container. This made me wonder if maybe he thought we weren't financially worth the effort. THEN he was not the one to serve us our food or even give us our check. THE WAITER DESERTED OUR TABLE. It was only the Latino staff that served me and apologized. Honestly? It hurt; I'm a Black mom taking her visibly special needs child to a restaurant. He deserves fun experiences and I will always try to give him the world. I was proud of him for being well behaved. But as a mom, the level of disappointment and anger can not be measured. He didn't deserve that treatment and I hope he doesn't deem it acceptable.
