I really enjoyed my visit to Vistamar for my birthday! We sat outside where there was an amazing DJ. The decor and views were perfect .We caught a little happy hour and then had dinner. We also had hookah. During the evening there were also dancers who contributed to the vibes . Customer service was lovely. So all in all I recommend this restaurant and I will be back.

I always go to city island but tend to always go to the same restaurant. I decided to give this place a try and it did not disappoint. They have outdoor dining but it was a little cool so I opted to eat inside. For appetizer, I got buffalo wings. Then as a main course, I got crispy fried shrimp. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I have no complaints about this place. I plan on coming back when the weather is nicer to sit outside.

Met up here with my family for Saturday brunch. My daughter ordered French toast with cotton candy which was presented nicely, as well as her fudge brownie with ice cream dessert. My sister didn't think the food tasted as good as it looked. I only tried their mimosa, it was fresh and strong, they offer bottomless for 2 hours. There are many lovely areas for photo ops. At night this spot becomes club like. I don't think I'd plan to come here to eat, but I'm willing to meet up with family and have some more drinks again.

Parking is $5 cash only. We got here on a Saturday afternoon, it was a perfect time, because there was nobody really there(1pm). We got to sit outside since the weather was perfect. Although the indoor seating was very nice as well. The staff was all kind and helpful. There was a wedding going on in their event room, so the parking got pretty crowded fast. I believe they have Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday brunch djs, so I can imagine this place becomes a big party. We ordered a the appetizer for two and Mac and cheese, later we got the mofongo with shrimp. I can't complain about anything at all. The server recommended the Shrimp mofongo and it was delicious. We liked looking out to the water and enjoyed the decorations outdoors. We had such a nice experience here I will absolutely be back soon!

We came on a Wednesday night for dinner. The last time we came the manager /new owners stopped by and said they were going to be making changes and we'd likely see them by the time we came back. I was not prepared for how many changes were in store. The menu was practically completely revamped. The ambience is the same as far as the vibe as set up but different aesthetically if that makes sense. They've prettied up the outside a bit more as well. And there are more decorations all around. I know there is another section for private parties and a catering hall I believe but I haven't visited that part. The main dining area is very nice. Last night we had the pleasure of being waited on by Suli and she was sweet and attentive but not overbearing. We would definitely ask for her again if she's available on our next visit. This time we ordered: Sparkling water for the table Appetizers - Salmon Croquettes ($18) Buratta with tomatoes on the side ($22) Entrees- Branzino ($39) Crispy Fried Shrimp ($27) Add on of four (4) fried scallops ($12) Drinks- Mango Margarita ($16) Pink Paris ($17) Everything was absolutely delicious! They may have changed the menu but they didn't downgrade in any way! The food is still great! The service is still awesome! I believe it was the evening manager who stopped by to check and make sure we were happy and and everything was good, which speaks to the customer service. And also they make it very clear that the tip is included on the bill. It's a moderate 18% and you can choose to add any additional if you choose. I'm also glad they don't charge a credit card fee. I hope that continues! I'll continue to return with friends and family!
