I am so happy we were able to provide such high quality and creative food, but also, to have had the opportunity to just enjoy the party while the Kate and Ally staff handled it all from set up to clean up! Huge thank yous to Dianne, Lindsay, Janet, and Rich for all their hard work to help make my event special!“

“Food and service very good“

“This is my new favorite restaurant hands down. Just ate here for the second time and was absolutely blown away by how carefully crafted every single dish is. Chef is an artist and makes me crave foods I normally do not like by how creative and delicious his food is. The staff is always incredible as well but the food here is 12/10 every single time.“

“Had the #6, blue cheese burger and fries for Fathers day dinner delivered. Wow!!! Double meat patties cooked perfectly, heap if crispy fried onions, 2 thick fresh tomato slices, fresh chopped lettuce and a heap if blue cheese. The fries are addicting, I had to stop myself from eating them so I could take a bite of my burger, lol. Other places would charge $15.00 or more for a burger this big but it was only $10.00 and bogo, which my wife unfortunately did not take advantage of, I most likely would have have had it for breakfast the next day. Burger n fries 10/10, delivery 7/10, it was starting to get cold, the restaurant is 10 minutes from my house.“

“I recommend EVERYTHING about the LBI Pancake House! The food - perfect. The atmosphere - stylish, retro chic. The people - awesome. And don’t even get me started on the Belgian Waffles…. I’m still dreaming about those slightly crispy outside, puffy fluffy insides served with warm butter and their signature maple syrup. Breakfast Heaven served oceanside on Earth.“

“We have a great time when Chef prepares food as we the participants get to ask questions about products, recipes, etc! He makes the presentation fun and we always learn something new! Cinco de Mayo dishes were spectacular! Love this place!“

“I celebrated my birthday with my sisters at The Gables last night. It is clear that this restaurant knows that a dining experience is more than just about the great food. The ambiance and charm of the restaurant with its meticulous attention to detail translates to understated elegance. Their staff—my experience felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant and they had nothing else to do but take care of us! Our server, Cathy, was so warm and unshakable on a rather busy evening. The room managers strolled throughout the room making sure that every person was seen and noticed. It’s the nicest place I’ve ever dined. Thank you for a truly lovely evening!“

“First time here this past Tuesday. The food was phenomenal. I took a friend from Brooklyn and she was very impressed also! We got the local oysters, New England clam chowder, Flounder picatta and the roasted chicken dish. All excellent!!“

“Nice food presentation. They had live music, which was a nice after dinner ending.“

“Shelly was a great waitress! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Our food came out quickly, she checked on us at the right times, and overall made our experience really enjoyable. Thanks, Shelly, for the great service!“

“An amazing experience. The Hawaiian Style hotdog was huge in size and taste. I had one with cole slaw & a sliced pickle. It melted in my mouth. The atmosphere is friendly & the service was quick. I will definitely be going back for more. Next time you’re in Surf City don’t forget to stop in. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I have to give it to this place, it does not look like much sitting inside Fantasy Island Amusement Park in Beach Haven LBI, however with the expanded seating area and some pretty cool menu items like ribbon chips drizzled with bacon and sour cream and cheese and pulled pork sliders, it really hits the spot! I was pleasantly surprised how good it was and how clean the seating area is as well. Staff is really friendly as well. Make it a point to grab something to eat here while visiting!“

“Lovely simple dining room, excellent service- not overbearing but aware when wine refills were needed. Polite and efficient service. We had the fried artichokes and a clam pizza for appetizers and the sea scallops specials- everything was wonderful. Sea scallops perfectly prepared. The pizza crust was crisp and light with lots of clams. The fried artichokes were delicious with a black garlic aioli! Can’t wait to visit again.“

“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!“
