When it comes to City Island seafood, waterfront dining, magnificent restaurant design, atmosphere and of course its cuisine, only one person comes to mind... Chef and
Proprietor of the City Island Lobster House,
Sam Chernin

Guests enter the Lobster House through a grandiose portal
leading to a selection of wonderfully distinct and cozy dinning rooms.  All designed with comfort for a unique seafood dining experience.

The City Island Lobster House’s Hemmingway Room with its beautiful Mahogany bar and cozy velvet backed booths is the restaurants newest addition. Large booths, fabulous bar with a view and a nice relaxed atmosphere. This room leads to the outdoor terrace and our marina.

Our outdoor terrace area offers an overlook of Long Island sound and the Lobster Houses' own marina, which is totally dedicated to its boating Patrons. Docking assistance always at the ready. Call in advance for special services.

Lobster House Signature dishes are Maine Lobster, Sweet Cold Water Lobster tails, Gigantic, King, Snow and Dungeness Crab Legs, Succulent Giant Shrimp, as well as dry aged Angus Beef, just to name a few.

We also entertain LIVE music during the summer months on the terrace by the marina for your enjoyment. Jazz, Latin Jazz & Blues will be jamming this summer!  Come join us!
