Johnny's Reef is a family-friendly spot on City Island with a fun and scenic ambiance. Known for its fresh seafood, this place has been a favorite for over 50 years. The prices are decent, and the food is good, with options like fried fish, steamed fish, pasta, and more. Many visitors enjoy their fried seafood and fries, finding the fried food especially delicious. While the lobster can lack flavor, dishes like fried lobster tails and baked stuffed clams are popular choices. The restaurant is very kid-friendly, offering boniculars and a small grab claw machine, making it suitable for families who enjoy eating together and sightseeing from City Island into the bay. Located right on the coast, Johnny's Reef provides a simple, enjoyable atmosphere, with strong, reasonably priced drinks. Parking can be tough, and it is cash only, but people keep returning for a casual, tasty seafood meal with options for everyone. The restaurant also has a ramp for wheelchair accessibility.
