GITANO Island

THE VIEWS …. Let me say it again …
THEEEEE VIEWSSSS 😍😍😍
Absolutely stunning !! Such a short ferry ride transports you to a little oasis in NYC you almost forget you’re even in Manhattan anymore.
The food is vibrant and colorful and full of flavor. Tons of modern Mexican bites sure to please everyone. Definitely geared for a fun night out.

Very lively and fun place to go with a group or as a couple. Atmosphere feels like an escape from the concrete jungle and gives getaway vibes. Food is delicious. Service is great. Reservations are needed unless you plan to hang out at the bar as this place gets packed. I have been here twice and will be going back.

We came here for brunch with our kids for brunch on a recent Saturday, and were initially impressed by the expansive setup that has been created to open this new spot. There are several areas to the restaurant, including a few bars and a central area with a DJ booth. We found the food and drinks to be good, but were disappointed with the service. Despite multiple people standing around, we often could not get anyone's assistance with ordering or ultimately paying our check at the end. Our server seemed uninterested and was just plain dismissive at times. While the ambiance is impressive for where the space is located, it feels as if it could skew a little cheesy later into the day/evening.

I’m giving a 4 for ambiance. Drinks are cool. Menu is light. Music and vibe was popping. But if you’re sitting in the lounge area beware of the sandy, gravel ground. Heels not necessary…or all the rocks will be in your shoes. Staff very attentive.
