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.

I enjoyed my date at VistaMar, food was good and service was great but for my taste I would prefer Latin music or mix music when visiting a Latin restaurant as I think thats the while point of going to it…. All in all I would return if the music changes, would have actually stayed longer if not because of this.

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.
