Joe MedvedMarch 24, 2019A very cozy spot, much calmer than most of the busy spots nearby. We enjoyed the cod and the tequila lime shrimp, and loved the desserts, including the apple crisp and especially the hot fudge fondue.
Erika PerziJuly 11, 2016Garden is very charming and comfortable. Sunday brunch is a bit too diverse for me, not too many options for non-meat eaters ... But fresh waffles did hit the spot. Skip the coffee.
Candice RiveraAugust 24, 2016I thought the ambiance was great, as was the service and the beers! Food was delicious as well! Such a great find!
- Olivia PerilloFebruary 20, 2011Great place for a quiet cozy dinner. Great service, excellent food! Have all of our special occassions there. I recommend the chocolate fondue!
- CristinaApril 14, 2012The place is cute, the wine is delicious, the food is ok. However the crab cakes were amazing.
Nelanka PereraAugust 8, 2011Great food and friendly staff. A real class act on the City Island strip!
This place is great. I have been coming here since 14 years ago and it is always good
Jobu JemasMarch 28, 2011This place is hit or miss. I've been here at times when the food was outstanding. Today was a miss. Didn't appreciate the lipton instant rice with my meal.
Stephan BajaioSeptember 18, 2011Brunch is over rated and service is super slow. Make sure to get a reservation
