Looking out over the Long Island Sound from the window-lined main dining room, it is easy to see the vision and feel the passion behind VISTAMAR. Beautiful views await diners at this Latin restaurant, as you enjoy a variety of menu items and cocktails while enjoying the beautiful harbor scenery. Nestled in between the Pelham Bay area of the Bronx and Hart Island, City Island has become home to a bustling restaurant scene. VISTAMAR shines in this community, as it not only draws inspiration from the water that surrounds it but also adds Latin flavor. Easily accessible by car or public transportation, City Island is a beautiful departure from the hustle and bustle of New York City.

    The place is beautiful, the vibe is amazing, and the food was good. My only complaint is the space. It’s very cramped so people from other parties are on top of you and it can be very uncomfortable at times. Everything else was great.

    Omg I can’t begin to describe how much fun I had. I went to celebrate my birthday with my family and it was like a whole party in there. We ate, we drank, and we danced. The performances by the dancers and the music were exhilarating. It was so much fun. I will definitely return. A shout out to Gloria! She made our experience great with her patience and overall service.

    The food quality was poor, salty and price too high. I spent $160 for 2. I really don’t mind paying any amount of money if the food is good. I will not visit this place again.
