My boyfriend took me to this restaurant for dinner for my birthday last night. I've heard great things about City Island restaurants but was not impressed with this one at all. The waiter was slow and unattentive, and the food was so-so, not the best seafood I've ever had. I ordered a cocktail which was way too strong. The waiter took so long to come back and check on us once we ordered that I was done with the meal before I could tell him that I was not satisfied with this drink, which I didn't drink. My boyfriend asked if they could take it off the bill since I couldn't drink it. The waiter referred it to the manager who then took another 25 minutes to come over to the table. He then proceeded to insist that we let him make me another drink instead of taking it off the bill. I explained that it was not a good plan because we were done and ready to leave. A restaurant of a higher class would not get into the practice of arguing about a $9 drink with the customer when they've already spent over $200 dollars on the meal. Not impressed at all.
Cons: Bad management
