A great place to sit back relax and enjoy amazing local music. Elliott and his family run a very welcoming space.

I love this place and its people! Though mostly music, they also have open mic nights, comedy shows, paint nights, and I saw a wonderful one-woman show there. The comedy shows are great and not as pricey as Manhattan. The light fare is yummy and Jenny's Sweets provides DELICIOUS desserts. Plus you can BYOB!

The Artist is a special place on City Island in the Bronx, and Elliot and Monica, the proprietors, very special people. It's a welcoming, inclusive and very familial space devoted to the creation and expression of art in whatever form. The Artist is a BYOB establishment that serves "light fare". Be warned that traffic getting onto City Island can be a bit slow, but once past the entry bottleneck you're pretty much free and clear.

We are so pleased with the attention, service and custom design of my daughter's 14th birthday celebration! Jeff and his efficient, friendly team, cooked up a delicious array of food for a variety of tastes and food allergies including vegans, vegetarians and carnivores. My daughter and her friends listened to their Selected music station and had a fun birthday gathering! Would highly recommend for other private gatherings like showers, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. The atmosphere is comfortable, artistic and staged for a very personal, intimate gathering. Thanks Jeff!

Starving Artist Cafe & Gallery you are truly fantastic, I had an incredible experience here today. I don't want to leave because of the ambience. Workers ensured that everything was o. k. These guys got a spectacular menu also. Two thumbs up.
