City Island Yacht Club — Restaurant in New York

I am a social CIYC member, and go there frequently to Race on Eagle with Ernie Bivona, who used to be a club commodore few years back. Club is very well managed and attentive to club members needs, most of the members are "old boys" with years of experience sailing and owning the boats. Dinners after regatas are great, with members commenting on the race and having fun.. Facilities are aged but well maintained and adequate for racers and day racers. Great atmosphere and very friendly club. Great mooring field with easy and protected access. Lots of restaurants on the Island if you need more dining options ( I don't) ,Only complain I haver is commuting from NJ. But I love it. The restaurant is run by hired outside chefs, this year we have excellent one. Any issues with food are addressed right away and corrected. don't blame CIYC for chef having a bad day, if it repeats he will...

The food was wonderful, and we're happy we ordered the new Mac & Cheese recipe the chef tried. We even learned a little about the local life from our server who was a proud "clam digger". The restaurant is open to the public, attire is casual, and parking...

We came to City Island for the first time today when my girlfriends mother was visiting NY. It’s supposedly known for great seafood. We found city Island Yacht Club on google and the view looked great so we tried it out. Our food took over an hour. My fish and chips was so greasy it was practically transparent. Fish tasted awful. NOT FRESH. My companions burgers were over cooked and clearly frozen patties. This is college cafeteria food. Extremely low quality. They should be embarrassed to serve food like this. Some of the worst food I’ve ever paid for. Did I mention it...
