“We have been going to Black Eyed Susan's since their prior location across the street when it was BYOB and I can't believe it's actually gotten better in terms of menu and the cocktail menu is amazing too. With the addition of Marigold this summer they've reached the next level. We hope to rent it out next year for a private event. Could not recommend it enough if you're on Long Beach Island (or even if you have to drive the bridge)“

“Really enjoyed our ladies night dinner. General Taos cauliflower was crispy. My scallops on risotto were amazing- perfectly searded, risotto was perfection. And priced right. I love the cocktails and I also love sitting in the garden bar area.“

“Went to dinner Saturday night with my parents who dine there often (after many years on the island...crazy it was my first time). Our waiter, Alex was SO incredibly kind and a wonderful waiter. I cannot have gluten so he were really cautious in checking to make sure everything I ordered was safe for me. A great spot, where I felt completely welcome. My one gentle comment is to ask that the music be lowered or nixed in the dining area. We found ourselves shouting a bit to hear one another. I will definitely be back...trying happy hour next! Thanks so much again for a lovely evening.“

“Great thanksgiving day meal today … food was fabulous… Kate our server was very attentive… thank you Lefty’s!!!“

“The chowder was absolutely incredible. 5 stars. Our lunch was great. Not a person in our party walked away unhappy with their choices.“

“I tried to put another review on Google but since I just entered my first review on April 6th it would not let me submit another one. I was there again this past weekend with my daughter and we ordered the filet mignon and it was amazing!!!! Luke was our waiter on Saturday and he was excellent!!! Potstickers were great as well!!! When my daughter, grandson, girlfriend and others come down Element is certainly our go to place!!! Thank you everyone from the friendly greeting when you arrive to the amazing waiters and waitresses to the chefs and beyond! This restaurant runs like a “Swiss Watch” well done!!!“

“Consistently wonderful, a quintessential LBI restaurant. A favorite meal is the prime rib, always done to perfection.“

“We had the scallops scampi over pasta and is was delicious, but for the price i feel 8 scallops and less pasta would have been better. Have been coming here for years, it's very clean but prices don't match the takeout style service. Staff was very friendly, will be back.“

“Great food & friendly, attentive staff.“

“GO HERE!!! IF YOU DO GO THOUGH…fair warning…the wings are so good but so hot that you better make sure to bring a friend that you could BLOW! Water, bread AND MILK did not even help my mouth heat, which is the ONLY reason I resorted to blowing my friend hahahahahah. Legit his appendage was the only thing that numbed the pain. 10/10 coming here again!“

“My daughter and her husband had their wedding reception at the Daymark on 10/27/2018. There was a nor’easter the night before into Saturday morning. There was flooding everywhere! Management and staff did an incredible job rearranging the room since we had to change the wedding ceremony to inside, instead of at the Lighthouse. The food and staff made it a memorable night. Everything was perfect! Thank you to all of the Daymark staff!“

“Excellent clam chowder!! Fast service and friendly staff..“

“Great food - both the pizza and dinners. Salads are great too - a lot in them including hard boil eggs, roasted peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, green & black olives, onions, and of course lettuce - delicious! We highly recommend it!“

“We used the Sea Shell for our wedding venue and can’t say enough nice things about it. For starters our planners were amazing, Brittany and Jaimee were always available to answer any questions we had. They set everything up just the way we wanted. The food during cocktail hour was to die for and all of our guests raved about it. The weather wasn’t in our favor in the morning and at first we were going to do the ceremony under the tiki hut but were able to change to the sand an hour before. Dinner was also amazing and everything was delicious. The Shell made a dream come true and we can’t thank them enough.“

“The best ice cream! Highly recommend“
