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.

Dethelin was the best!!! She was very attentive with us and always kept a big smile on her face even when we changed our minds on what to order! All I can say is if you ever go to Vistamar ask for Dethelin!!

From Valet parking to the end of the night, the experience was AMAZING. My boyfriend was extremely surprised for his birthday dinner. Jocelyn and Adrian were so attentive of us. And so were the other waiters when it came to their tables. The ambience, the food, and the drinks were delicious for dinner. Cant forget the Great performances also!! We can’t wait to go back.. next time, It will definitely be brunch.

Service and food was amazing. The DJ was terrible, we requested to change the music multiple times but the dj refused. DJ played a lot of like middle eastern music and did not switch it up, we requested Spanish music as well as r&b/hiphop.

Took my daughter here for her birthday and it was great They had a few shows that we didn’t expect but were nice. The Dj played a great mix of music which was also very nice . The food was great we had an awesome waiter . I can’t say anyone bad about our experience. If I had to say anything bad it would be that my husband food was cold when it arrived
