Have been here many times over the years and has never disappointed. Setting is very eclectic leaning towards nautical and is very comfortable. If you come during warm weather they have very nice outdoor seating. They have an assortment of beers and craft cocktails available. Have had .multiple dishes but my favorites are the tuna dish, crab cake dish, shrimp scampi dish, and the Black Whale Burger is outstanding. Also a good bet is one of their desserts. My favorite place on City Island. Only drawback is that it would be outstanding if they were waterfront.

I came here last night for my birthday with my friends. We had a great time. I called last minute for a table of ten then I changed my mind to sit out there. They were VERY accommodating. We loved the food, service, and drinks. The outside seating area is so unique. We’ll definitely be back!
