Restaurants near City Island

My mother-in-law, wife & I fully enjoyed the Monday special at Spiro’s tonight. I used OpenTable to book 6:30 for our reservation a few nights ago and so happy I did. We’ve dined there a few times and never had a negative experience, bad drink or exceptional meal. Tonight was no different. The staff was particularly chipper and friendly. The salted caramel espresso martini was full and flavorful. The baked clams (X2), 2lb stuffed with lobster (X3) were delectable and my wife enjoyed the Greek salad! Who stuffs lobster with bay scallops??? Spiro’s does! While they were out of the chocolate mousse, they offered their cheesecake, which was sweet, creamy and perfect. Several of the staff wished us Happy Thanking upon exiting. Just a wonderful experience and we’ll be back!

Everything was perfect! Service was great, food was literally perfect, cocktails were excellent. The ice cream with a sparkler for my mom’s birthday was such a nice surprise! Will be back!

The service in this location was lacking quite a bit , but not terrible. Food was top tier as usual, but your better off going to the OG Bay Shore location

We have been to Painters many times and will continue to come back. The staff are always genuinely nice and, in our experience, very hard working (today our server was Amanda). We appreciate the wide variety of food options and we always enjoy our meal (today was the Mediterranean omelette). A friend who we treated to lunch thought her hamburger was the best she ever had; my personal favorite is the Orange Pecan French Toast. It is perfect for any occasion and it is not unusual for someone to be celebrating a baby shower or birthday in the back area. The atmosphere is always comfortable and casual, and the large parking lot is a nice bonus.

As always, the food and service were wonderful! Kelly, our server, was attentive and friendly and we never waited for drink refills. Both specials and menu favorites were delicious with generous portions.
