We were excited for our first dining experience at Daddy O only to be disappointed. First, it took our server at least 15 minutes to greet us. The manager ended up coming over because he saw us just sitting there. No drinks, water, nothing. I wouldn't even mention the server in the review but unfortunately his service never got better. My daughter ordered a sandwich and asked for no Mayo. Unfortunately it came out completely slathered in mayo. She did her best to scrape it off because we didn't want to wait for another sandwich to come out. My Caesar salad was tiny and disappointing. The dressing was not very flavorful. Even though it was small I didn't even finish it because it just wasn't worth it. My husband was the only one who was not disappointed in his meal. The dining room is loud and dark which is not a big deal, but we kept getting whiffs of wet dog. Maybe it was the carpet? Overall we were not happy and probably will not be returning.

My family of five adults went there on Easter, and had an excellent experience! Everything was fantastic! We were greeted by friendly hosts and immediately seated for our reservation, the waitress was so friendly and helpful, and the food and drinks were amazing!

We dont ever give 5 stars. But this food is easily 5 stars! Every bite was amazingly put together. We ordered cocktails, an Old Fashion and a What's Your Alibi. Our appetizer was a lamb sausage and pasta. Mmm. And our entree was flounder with crab orzo, and scallops with pea risoto.They were perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned.The atmosphere is warm and the staff are very attentive.We highly recommend them.Our waitress was Payton, try to get her.And we were just told that the chef is new.

We have been enjoying Daddy-O's for many years. The food is always to p notch with regular changes to menu items. Service is very professional and courteous, bar offers full array of excellent drinks and wines. Always dependable, even in a pinch.

Made brunch reservations for 10:30, which were confirmed - apparently the restaurant doesn’t open until 11:30 despite the website saying they open at 10 AM.

went to LBI for a weekend getaway and booked a brunch reservation at Daddy Os yesterday. Google had 10 AM as the opening time so we booked a 10:45 reservation. Got there at 10:30 - a few early but figured we would wait or have a brunch drink. The doors were locked at 10:30. I called the number and a young lady told me they opened at 11:30 - not 10am. Left a google review because we were annoyed and opted to go somewhere else. The owner then proceeded to call me to argue about my review Google review and said they were definitely open at 10:30. Very unprofessional We watched the owner open up the restaurant and put up the flags at approximately 10:40. in the few hours since the call they have updated their hours on google

I haven't been to DaddyOs in years. It was a very quiet night but service was great. Never rushed. Food was also very good. I know when the season starts it will be almost impossible to get reservations so I'm glad I went now.

We frequent Daddy O a few times per month. While the food is always good there was a HUGE difference in portion size. Their $16 arugula salad was half the size as it use to be and no goat cheese. Their soup for $15 while served in a big disc bowl for show was way overpriced for what you get. Just another restaurant now trying not to raise prices but instead making extra profit by providing less. Steve LBI

Great time, good food and cool vibe for vacation. A summer must go. Service is always on par.

excellent spot for an intimate, higher end dinner when visiting the LBI area. they have a variety of dishes from handhelds to entrees. the seafood specifically is great quality and superior. our table ordered the muscles, bang bang shrimp, chicken milanese, short rib pasta, shrimp tacos, and steak noodle dish. all exceptional! one of the best bang bang shrimp appetizer I ever had. the service was also excellent and attentive. will be going back in the summer time to enjoy the rooftop bar
We were a little disappointed that they weren't serving sushi - that was why we were going there but we were told they only serve that on Thursdays We all did enjoy our meals although they sat us in the back of the dining room and we could see directly into the service area where they were cleaning glasses etc - not the worst thing but not pleasant to look at - there Was a curtain but it was not closed

We attended the wine tasting event. This was our second time at a wine tasting and we enjoyed it. We were seated in the right corner which made it difficult to see and hear the wine experts presentation . He did come over several times and did answer our questions. We will certainly attend again and hope we can be seated in a place closer to the speaker.

We attended the February Wine Club event and had a great time! We were a party of 6 and seated at a table for 8. By the end of the evening, we were fast friends with our table mates. Very fun, informative event. We will be back!
