Sea Shore Restaurant

Oct. 18,2025, visited Seashore Restaurant at City Island, a gem in the Bronx to celebrate my son’s birthday. As a foodie and someone who travels a lot and has my business, it truly did not disappoint me. I have been to mostly all the restaurants at City Island, for over 50 years and been to this restaurant many times, but it has been a while I ate at this restaurant. To me this restaurant is on top of my seafood restaurant list for 2025. The waitress Alma, was exceptional. Alma, was very professional, kind and very attentive, and outstanding to many I have encountered. I truly will recommend Alma as your waitress, and trust me you will definitely be not disappointed. The food and drinks were as followed: 1: Drinks Pina Mojito, Corona Extra, DosEquis 2: Food Parlla for 2 , Fried Calamari & dessert Tartufo. I will also say the drinks were excellent too. I encourage many to go to this restaurant and ask for Alma, you will not be disappointed! I will definitely return back and will ask for Alma because I know she will be very attentive and appreciative. The ambiance was very nice too. In conclusion the Paella and the fried calamari were mediocre but passable. Though a little expensive for the food we had but nothing can take away from celebrating my son’s birthday and the bonding we had together.

The food was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor — especially the seafood, which tasted like it came straight from the ocean. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, perfect for a nice evening out.

A special shoutout to our waiter, Keith, who made the whole experience even better. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared that we were enjoying our meal. He checked in just the right amount, gave great menu recommendations, and made us feel completely at home.

If you’re looking for delicious food and top-notch service, I highly recommend Sea Shore Restaurant — and definitely ask for Keith!

We had a mixed experience at this restaurant. Our waiter, Felix, was absolutely excellent — attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. He really made the experience memorable in the best way. He even surprise us with a desert since we were celebrating our anniversary.

However, I was disappointed to witness manager Debbie speaking rudely to staff during our visit. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere that detracted from the otherwise pleasant service. Great food and service from Felix, but the management’s treatment of employees needs improvement.

The best restaurant in City Island! You don't need to go farther. As soon as you cross the bridge turn right. They have free valet (please tip the helpful guys though). Hostess and owners are attentive. Best ambiance both indoor and outdoor, delicious and fresh seafood, generous portion. Lovely views of the water, marina and a little bit of Manhattan skyline. Until next time!!

I was very satisfied with my visit. It’s rare to meet such a friendly server in New York, and both the food and the server’s kindness made it a memorable experience. My thanks to the lovely lady who served us by the window facing the parking lot. As for the food, the grilled fish was excellent, while the oysters were just okay. The portion of the risotto was enormous—it definitely felt worth the price. I would be happy to visit again.
