“My husband and I went to Dune 18 last night for restaurant week and it was fantastic! The food is incredible and the staff is so friendly. We personally love the PEI mussels in the white wine garlic sauce and the shrimp tempura. I tried the spinach salad last night and it was delicious, the dressing is made in house and is so yummy. We tried the chocolate mousse cake & carrot cake last night, both of which were so tasty but the chocolate mousse cake was the best mousse cake I’ve ever had… Can’t wait to come back again soon!“

Delivery was quite fast for it being dinner time and the young man was very nice.. The chimichangas are outrageous! The green sauce is great but the mole' is really great. The empandas come smothered and can be an entire meal on their own. Really good stuff. They even add seperate containers of rice and beans. This is a superior restaurant.“

“Arriving early for our 5pm reservation, we had planned to enjoy the happy hour specials. The cocktails were nicely priced and delicious. Particularly worth mentioning was the Suzy's Margarita and the Flora and Fauna, served with a sprig of fresh rosemary. Refreshingly nice on a hot summer night.
The outdoor bar area is very Pinterest-worthy. Loads of gorgeous flowers, butterflies, and comfortable seating.
The bartenders and staff throughout the restaurant was so friendly and pleasant.
We were seated in timely manner. Our table was underneath a bookshelf that had an interesting selection of cookbooks that I was tempted to pull down and start perusing. Cute simplistic decor.
We ordered the margherita pizza and Black Garlic Caesar salad for the table to share. The crust on the pizza had a delicious flavor! Cooked perfectly! Hard to go wrong with pizza. The salad was large leafed pieces of romaine with a delicious dressing. Not overly chilled, which we all liked, as it seemed freshly made and was more flavorful that way.
I shared the Lumache Pasta and the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe with one family member. The others had two of the specials. All of us enjoyed our entrees.
Overall, it was one of the nicest dinners we've had on LBI over the years. It was upscale without being pretentious. All of the staff we so welcoming. Everyone we passed on the way out, thanked us and wished us an enjoyable evening. Little things like that leave customers with such a good vibe.
Nicely done Black Eyed Susans!“
