    While the ambiance, décor, and overall vibe at Atik are elegant and very picture-worthy, unfortunately that's where the positives end. This place is really only good for the aesthetic experience. We made birthday reservations and arrived a bit early, but our table wasn't ready. We were directed to sit at the bar, which was fine at first. The drink and food menus are accessed via an iPad/tablet, which is convenient, but the drink selection was surprisingly limited. The cocktail I ordered was beautifully presented and tasted good. We ended up sitting at the bar for about 50 minutes--roughly 20 minutes past our reservation time--before being seated. We closed out our bar tab, and 5-6 drinks came out to nearly $200 after tax, service fee, and gratuity, which already felt steep. Because we were a party of 10, we were required to order from a prix fixe menu. All items (except entrées) are served family-style, and the options were extremely limited, forcing people to settle for dishes they didn't really want. I ordered the braised short rib, which was drenched in BBQ sauce and served over grits or some sort of cornmeal. It was honestly terrible. Another entrée was the salmon with mashed potatoes, which my friend also said lacked flavor. Most of us barely touched our food. The only thing I actually enjoyed was the arugula salad appetizer--and I ended up ordering an extra side of it for myself. For a restaurant with such an elegant atmosphere and higher price point, we expected much more, especially in terms of flavorful, Mediterranean-inspired dishes. There were also "performances" throughout the night, which we could have done without. A live DJ would've been a much better fit. I won't be returning, which is disappointing because the outdoor patio looks lovely for nice weather. I wanted to love this place, but the food and overall experience just didn't live up to the hype.

    Father's Day 2026... Valet dude was super rude and the waiter was not attentive. The hostess was super glorious and was super nice. The restaurant looks Mediterranean with a sprinkle of latin flavor. Customer service is paramount, and this place does not give that. Food was just okay but indoor ambiance was A1. Entree took about an 1 1/2 hours to come out and the waiter was acting like we were doing him a favor. He didn't even give his name or give a proper greeting. He seemed very annoyed and didn't add anything to my experience. I don't even want to write what I really want to write about my server but he definitely was unwelcoming. Still, I believe if you can find the right combo of staff members, I can see this being a very liked venue.

    I visited Atik Restaurant for a friend's birthday dinner and had a great experience. The ambiance, music, and overall vibe were amazing.We ordered food and drinks and everything was flavorful and well-seasoned. The fire performances throughout the night were a fun surprise and really added to the experience. Despite some mixed reviews, I personally loved everything about this place. Great food, great entertainment, and reasonable prices. I would definitely come back!"

    Came for a friend birthday last (Saturday) night. I was the first to arrive and went to the bar. Bar is small in my option which led me to stand at the side. Might've been a manager that asked if I was being helped and got the attention of the bartender to get me a drink. Drink was pretty good (forgot the name). There was live entertainment by dancers with fire and dancing which made everyone more alive and fun. It made the atmosphere better. Later in the evening they had another entertainment for breaking the plate. It was fun! The waiter was so nice and great service. He did not let us feel rushed and was very accommodating. I got mussels without sausage and the rigatoni pasta. Mussel was in tomato sauce. The pasta was really good, was firm and tasty. I liked the food. I'd definitely recommend for birthday dinner or nice date night.

    Went on a rainy weekday and the restaurant was practically empty so I can't speak to the vibe on a regular night but I sure did have an amazing time! The restaurant's aesthetic is perfect for photos I'm talking content creator, social media socialist level stuff. Inside and out it's gorgeous. Now to the food. Again I went on a quieter night maybe, other than me and my party there were probably 4 other people in the restaurant. I say that to say our food and drinks were so dang good! I think the bartender and chef had enough time to give our orders all of their attention and I am super happy about that. Even the waiters were attentive checking in, refilling waters, cleaning the table etc. 10/10 for customer service in my book. I hope this level of service is the same on a busy night. I will definitely be back to see because I can't say enough good things about this place.

    This was a very nice Mediterranean experience. First, the location right on the water was so beautiful. I've been to Greece and felt like I was back there when visiting this spot. The food was 10/10. I went with an appetite and order a lot of small plates to start and the octopus was phenomenal. I was almost too full to finish my actual entree, but that was good as well. The drinks were tasty, nothing spectacular but they looked pretty and tasted good. I wanted dessert, but by the time we were able to order most things were sold out. We made it early enough to see one of the performances before being seated for our dinner and it was amazing. Everyone was up and ready to party during the show. We also participated in the plate breaking tradition and that was a ton of fun. You do have to purchase the plates, but it's super cheap and an experience for sure. Luckily they stall dinner during that time, so we didn't go back to cold food after the plate breaking. Our server was fun and really helped us with making some good selections. Service was a little slow though, but it was pretty busy that night. Overall, I'd try this spot again (especially to try some of their desserts).

    My Saturday afternoon outing with my friend Pat F. was really long overdue. Between life, errands, rescheduling several times and the usual hustle, it felt amazing to finally catch up over tasty food and cocktails- especially being right on the water in City Island. I hadn't realized that Atik now occupies the space where Portofino was until she mentioned it. Portofino held a special place for me when my husband and I used to come for nice dining and it truly stood out among the strip back in the day. But now....hellooooo Atik! What a transformation! Gone are the heavy burgundy drapes of the past. Atik has done a complete 180°. The space now feels bright and open from the moment you walk in. It has a fresh, modern vibe with light wood floors and then BOOM- you're greeted by a spacious main dining area with a mix of seating styles. A couple of rounded booths and a massive eye-catching bar. And just when I thought we'd seen it all, our hostess led us to the outdoor dining area and wow. Right on the water, it felt like we'd been transported somewhere along the Mediterranean coast, complete with loungey, SiriusXM Chill-esque music tying it all together real nice. Our server Christopher, was pleasant and accommodating- even when my friend and I kept asking him to give us "just another minute" as we caught up. The service was awesome throughout. We shared a Greek salad, a large and crispy fried calamari order and hummus+pita. That trio alone was plenty to graze on while we talked, sipped and soaked in the view. And speaking of sipping- I can't forget the cocktails. I had two spritzes: a classic Aperol and their signature Atik Spritz. Usually, spritzes are more club soda than Prosecco, but not here. These were bold and boozy in the best way. Not watered-down- just well-made drinks. At least mine were. I just hope all the other cocktails are powerful too! Based on Atik's overall rating, maybe they need to figure out how to serve a medium-rare steak that's actually medium-rare, or bring your drink before you're halfway through your meal- but let's chill. Atik just landed on the block. Funny how every time a new spot opens in our borough folks turn into food critics and hospitality experts overnight. Give them a second to find their groove before dragging them.

    Absolutely loved everything about this place..!! We visited on a weekend, so they also had some great shows for us. Decor is beautiful, and both the indoor and outdoor seating is set up really well in a comfortable manber with enough space to move about. You get a great waterfront view with outdoor seating, and the place especially looks great in the evenings. We ordered a variety of cocktails, apps, Entrées, and dessert, and we didn't have a single thing to complain about. All the cocktails tasted yummy and were not watered down. Food was just great all around, be it presentation, quality, taste, or quantity. I personally loved their Risotto and the Clam dessert. Service was fast enough considering how packed they were. Daniel, who waited on us, was friendly, extremely helpful, and just had a great attitude, doing whatever was needed to make our visit hassle free. I would love to revisit, and definitely a solid place for Date Night, or celebrate with family or friends. Most of the negative reviews seem to be from when the restaurant had just opened, and it looks like they have worked out all the kinks. We didn't face any issues when we visited.

    Beautiful restaurant but really dissatisfied with the food. Upon entry you can tell a lot of money and thought went into curating the aesthetic of the restaurant. Host was nice and service was pleasant all around. The place is also accessible to those with disabilities so A plus there. Unfortunately the food really fell flat throughout the brunch course. We ordered pretty basic uncomplicated dishes so if you can't get the basics right .. I ordered the steak egg & potatoes. Steak was requested medium it came out well done. We also ordered bacon eggs & potatoes. The bacon was burnt and hard. Portions are also on the smaller side I was still hungry when I left. The Limone dessert looked promising until it wasn't smh the outside was good very reminiscent to white chocolate but the inside just odd. I anticipated it to have a citrusy lemon ish taste nope just straight up acidic! Idk if it was spoiled but if that was the goal flavor it's not good. We also ordered a mango cheesecake to go please look at the photo smh the standard restaurant portion is 3.4/4 oz they gave us a slither of cake for $17. For that alone They should really be ashamed of themselves.. also just to note automatic 20% gratuity on the bill no matter the party size. Seems like they've invested a lot into looks and none into the actual dinning experience. I would hope dinner is better but I heard from a few mutuals who've dined at night that it's unfortunately the same experience. I was really hoping this was a new gem in the Bronx although very beautiful inside the experience would probably better enjoyed for cocktails and apps before or after an actual food date somewhere else. I'm so sad to write this review tbh I was hoping to enjoy this place.

    First time dining at this new establishment in City Island. Love the ambiance totally a picturesque moment upon entry. I came early on a Saturday to enjoy the food and an experience the vibe when it's not busy. It was a beautiful day sunny day definitely hot for October weekend. Hostess sat us down immediately we chose an outside seating due to the weather. Staff was so hospitable my server was a gem and gave great selections off the menu. My passion fruit spicy margaritas was delicious I had two. I'm an oyster girl so definitely ordered a few dozen. My other favorite apps were the Tuna and the shrimp ceviche. The Tuna had levels of flavor and the pita chips yum yum. Will most definitely be back at night for a dinner but was definitely a great new spot on City Island. In the end it will Hit your wallet but you're paying for high class service and amazing food.

    The atmosphere for a Wednesday night was very quiet and calm compared to a weekend. We loved it since we brought our 3 month old with us for my husband's birthday. The service was good from our server she gave good advice on what to get, as well as the people dropping off the food. I had a lychee martini & another drink with pineapple both were delicious. My husband had a drink with Hennessy that reminded him of tamarind & refreshing drink which I also thought tasted great and we usually don't like the same drink. For appetizers we had the oysters which tasted fresh, & the ceviche, the fish was good the sauce was ok. For dinner we had the branzino that came with cauliflower mash and lobster ravioli which 10/10 for both especially the cauliflower mash was amazing with Brussel sprouts. For dessert we had a pistachio treat which was creamy & reminded me of the inside of Dubai chocolate & a mango passionfruit cake that came with a side of vanilla ice cream. I wasn't crazy about the cake. Also note there are no changing tables for babies so I'm guessing not infant friendly but I did see older kids there. I would come again

    Opa!! A definite must to break the plates at the end of the night.

    First off baby! Let me tell you the place was amazing. Daniel our waiter was very attentive. We did not want or need anything. They made sure we were well taken care of. They have valet free of charge just make sure you tip for their hard work. Now let's talk about this place! The vibe is off the charts. The DJ, the shows, breaking the plates, and the food hunny was out of this world. We spent 5 hours here no time limit on the table and they do charge 20% gratuity. This place is gorgeous and well worth it. Reservations are hard to come by, so if you get in count yourself grateful for an unforgettable dining experience

    Is there any sort of happy hour?

    No happy hour is offered. The restaurant is an amazing experience though with great food.

    We visited this place when it was The Icehouse it was nice. I enjoyed the new place, the appetizers…read morewere really good, the mussels were great and the chicken wings were great as well. Drinks were good. Service was a little slow. Ambiance was quiet, nice seating areas, I think they have a outside area. I would definitely return.

    I was really looking forward to trying this place. I was underwhelmed with the food and drink…read moreoptions and the service experience. There are some dedicated parking spaces that have a three hour limit if dining. Upon arrival, I entered the inside restaurant space for Dakota's on the Grove. It was aesthetically pleasing. I should have sat inside here instead of in their outdoor space which they call The Grove at Dakota's. I was able to choose where I wanted to sit, so I chose a table near this shed where the bartender/waiter was. I noticed they were setting up for the Knicks Game 3 final and there were two large TVs and a projection screen. I overheard the waiter state that the area would be packed for the game tonight. There was also good music playing throughout. They had a large connect four, which would be nice to play. They are family friendly and had high chairs for babies and toddlers. When sitting outside they state that they have to preauthorize your card. Now getting onto the food. I was seated and provided with two menus. I immediately asked for a happy hour menu and then I waited for about 15 minutes, until I followed up with another waiter who brought out the menu for me. For the happy hour menu before I received my food I initially thought the prices were good, but upon receiving my food it was evident that the prices are off in terms of the portion size of the food. I ordered a $5 slider. I thought it would be a decent size. It was incredibly small. For the $5 price they should give at minimum 2 sliders but ideally 3. This would incentivize people to buy more. The slider was the best thing I tasted while there and I would have liked more but I couldn't justify spending another $5 when it was so tiny. The tiny slider appeared to be the portion size for a toddler. I ordered calamari which was $9. I was initially disappointed that there was such a small amount. I was even more disappointed when I tasted them. They tasted very "fishy." They absolutely needed a squeeze of lemon and fresh cracked black pepper to try and balance and mask the taste. I believe the portion size for the fries was also off for $5. The fries came in a teacup. Fries are something that people tend to order to have something to pick at while dining and it would make sense I think to provide more fries for the same price. I also could not justify getting another set of fries in a small teacup for $5. I did not like the taste of the fries. When the sparse calamari, tiny beef slider, and small teacup of fries came out, I realized I would not be full and ordered chicken wings from the happy hour menu. You have to get a minimum of 6. You cannot mix the flavors. They were out of the dockside fire sauce so I went with the garlic parm. These wings did not taste like garlic parm. The garlic parm seemed like an afterthought, which was just sprinkled on the wings at the very end. The chicken itself did not have much flavor. They did not mention providing any dipping sauce. I asked for blue cheese and I had to wait for about ten minutes and then remind another waiter that I was still waiting for my blue cheese. They were out of the mozzarella sticks. Moving onto the drinks. While I get being outside and maybe wanting to serve drinks in plastic to minimize glassware breaking, I did not enjoy being served Pinot Noir in a plastic cup or the white cranberry lemon drop in a plastic cup. Each time I was taken aback that they weren't offered in glassware. I got the $7 Pinot Noir from the happy hour menu. A regular glass of Pinot Noir is $9. I also ordered the white cranberry lemon drop which is priced at $12 and is not included on the happy hour menu. The drink came out in the same sized small plastic cup as the Pinot Noir. I think once again that glassware should be used. When ordering a lemon drop you tend to expect a chilled frosty glass with a sugar rim, and that was not what I received here. I think the sugar rim would have elevated the taste profile of the drink. All in all, I really liked the outdoor area. I would probably only return to get a canned beer in the outside section. I hope they start to carry some sour beer options. I do not see myself trying the food again, with the exception of a burger (since the burger was really good.) I did have an inquiry regarding the pre-authorization charge and the final charge that I saw on my credit card. I called and left a message and the restaurant got back to me quickly, which I really appreciated.

    Made a reservation for brunch for 6 in early Feb for 3/16. Two weeks prior to the reservation, one…read moreperson wasn't able to come and i was able to easily edit the reservation to 5. I was sent a reminder to confirm the reservation 2 days b4 and on the day of, the owner called to let me know there were some streets blocked off due to a Saint pattys parade. My friends and i were able to plan ahead thanks to that call and parked and walked over. My brunch reservation was for 2:15pm. Now once we came in, we were seated fast. One of my friends was about 20 mins late and they didn't give us an issue about it since the rest of us were there. They took our drink order and appetizers. My friend got there after we got our drinks and appetizers and she ordered hers and we all ordered entrees. The waitress was amazing! Kept coming to fill up my mimosa. We had shots, i felt celebrated the entire time. Owner came by and checked in on us too. The DJ was a vibe! Loved him and he kept shouting out all the birthdays in the room. There are 2 bathrooms which we didn't figure out until later because there was only a sign for 1 of the 2 bathrooms but once we figured it out, we saw the cute photo op area in the back. It's literally directly behind the DJ. The place is decorated beautifully and plenty of options for pics. Food was great, drinks were great and so were the vibes. Love the way they sing happy birthday with a whole party and bubbles. Overall great experience for a bday brunch no complaints. I will def be back for brunch and dinner for sure.

    The service sucks. We went to celebrate my sons bday on a weekday is was 13 of us. I made…read morereservations and we still had to wait and the place was empty. When we ask for water the second time around they made us wait almost an hour. We sang HB and I brought my own cake they didn't even ask if we wanted them to cut the cake for us we took the cake right back in the box. And on top of that it was hot in there!
