Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in City Island

We asked for seating up upstairs and glad we did! So much quieter up there. We could talk across the table without having to say “what?” all the time! The food was really good-our party had the artichoke salad (very different,very good), the short rib pappadelle with homemade noodles(melt in your mouth short ribs), the ricotta cavatelli (good, but over-garlicky, I was told) and chicken Milanese (so good). Spilt the peanut butter crunch cake— more a mousse than a cake imho, but a tasty end to a lovely meal. We ordered the California Merlot, the reasonably priced one(lol) and it opened up deliciously. Oh, I cannot forget the service: from the young man at valet parking, the women hostess & coat check, waiter and bus boys— all lovely and thoughtful. It was a delightful evening!

Me and my wife went for our anniversary , very nice quiet atmosphere , for appetizers we ordered the Cesar salad good , crab cakes were very good , the grilled octopus was very tuff and chewy , Main course was good the ribeye steak was tasty but very fatty nice classic mashed potatoes with the skin witch i love with Brussel sprouts very tasty , my wife got the chicken parm witch was very good , desert we got the lava cake and apple tart very good as well . Over all i will be going back to vivo and look forward to having my sons baptism in may .

Stunning restaurant, great Christmas tree, excellent sushi and service.

It was Christmas Eve and the restaurant was full! Service was awesome— food came out timely and hot! Great dinner!

ordered from the price fixe menu.. $40.95 for glass of wine, appetizer, entree and dessert. Had the caesar salad (excellent), salmon and brussell sprouts (also excellent) and raspberry sorbet. Bread basket with hummus was also good, just should have been put on the table sooner. Service was good. Beautiful fireplace, but not overly decorated for Christmas. just some poinsiettas. I recommend and would go back.
