“ This has been my #1 spot on City Island since I was a kid. J, the owner, is always hospitable, and the food is fantastic. Whenever I'm on City Island, I always come here. You won't find another spot with fresh and delicious food on the island like JPs. ”
“ JP recently had a delightful special last month. When I tell you the amount and quality of the food JP put on my plate was enough to feed 4 people. The chicken parmigiana was delicious! The fried shrimp wasn't mine but someone packed it up and when we opened the dish we did the happy dance! Sorry to my friend that never received his order of shrimp with fries! Yummy!!! Next time I will treat! ”
“ Always a good time at JPs. A great quiet spot off the beaten path on City Island. It's been a favorite for many years - the food is consistently tasty. To start that warm garlic bread is yummy - today we shared the seasoned broiled whole lobster and fried Shrimp combo - paired with yellow rice- stuffed baked potato- Caesar & Italian salads - hot green teas - all was delicious! Service was terrific ”
“ I've been to this restaurant a few years back but wanted to check it out again on a Friday night. We were welcomed by the owner who was very attentive and nice. Our waitress came to us very quickly and took our drink order. The menu has a lot of options so you may need to time to order but the food was worth every penny. I just ate the rest today.. large portion and let me tell you my drink ?!!! Was amazing baby!! I felt a little buz buz! Definitely worth the $20. I had a blue margarita and my company had a Long Island! I enjoyed it and I just want to add.. Check out a place for yourself! I've been here twice and I don't have any complaints. ”
“ On 3/22/24 my family and I made another one of our frequent visits to JP's city island restaurant and this time we attended with family from Maryland and once again we all had great food. The cosmopolitan are still the best for me and all other drinks ordered were great as well. Everyone's meal was exceptionally delicious and of course we had to get take outs because the portions are always large. I just have to mention this as I forgot in my many previous posts. The SHRIMPS are so delicious and the size for the price is unbelievable I wish other restaurants would serve such sizable shrimps. KUDOS to you JP and your WONDERFUL staff. See you all soon again Erica Davis ( Bus Drivers wife) ”
