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!!!“

“Went here with a party of 8. They don’t accept reservations but they sat our party in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant was packed! Fun vibe and Friendly and attentive staff.

The food was honestly out of this world delicious. The sourdough toast with ricotta and pistachio might be the best bite I’ve ever had in my life. I had the golden tilefish for dinner and it was cooked beautifully. My wife had the Pork Katsu and it is was also delicious.
Dessert course was awesome. Sticky toffee pudding and an orange cake that will ruin you for all other orange cakes!

Great food, service and vibe!“

“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)“

“We love this place. Food is amazing, well prepared and innovative. Staff are pleasant, attentive, and informative. We go out to dinner frequently and this place is at the top of our list. We will be back, again.“

“Ordered delivery for our first time because our son said that they were great. Young woman on phone was very nice and verified all items in order. 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.“

“Sun Harbor never disappoints... consistently great food at a reasonable price..... Highly recommend! Great destination for boaters....“

“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.“

“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!!“

“We had Kate & Ally’s cater a party at our local community center for 100 people. Everything from securing the date, choosing the menu, the food, and the service was top notch! 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!“

“Atmosphere was great. Decorated cute for Christmas. Ordered the fried calamari which was cooked perfect and the flavors were great. The mussels were my favorite of the apps we ordered. Light and flavorful. The steamed clams New England style were good too!“

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

“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!“

“good as always.....................“

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

“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.“

“Very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The fish is wonderful!“

“DELICIOUS food, quick service, and the waitress was especially sweet to my 3 year old — brought her a coloring page and spoke directly to her. Highly recommend! We’ll be back for sure.“

“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.“

“Had a great stay for our first time here. Professional and extremely nice staff. Beautifully decorated for Christmas! Kids loved the pool.“

“The best ice cream! Highly recommend“
