“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!“

“I tried lefty’s for the first time tonight and ordered delivery. The food arrived fresh and hot and the burger was out of this world along side of their wings. Highly recommend to everyone one next time I will be dining in.“

“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.“

“Food is excellent! Wonderful place for meeting friends and spending time with family. Great selection of beers.“

“This restaurant is absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations. Our meal was an unforgettable culinary experience. All recipes felt intentionally crafted and precisely balanced, and dishes were executed perfectly by the kitchen staff. My large group ordered multiple appetizers, entrees, and desserts to share, and everything was truly incredible (the sourdough and meatball appetizers, hot honey pizza, and olive oil ice cream were particularly memorable). I also strongly recommend their cocktails, which were among the best I’ve ever had. From the hosts and wait staff to the chefs and management, all of whom took the time to check in with our table, the service at this restaurant is hands-down the best on the island. Black Eyed Susan’s is a must-visit and I look forward to returning!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We enjoyed the food and wonderful service provided by Jude and Mason at the seafood market. Everything was delicious. Thank you for the seafood tips too! We picked up shrimp, clams, crab legs, corn, steak and the best Key Lime Pie EVER!
What a surprise!
We stopped back again for takeout seafood and also ate at the restaurant side. The fish tacos were incredible!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Still the best clam chowder and you cannot tell me otherwise. The bread bowl is toasted perfectly. Good bands and entertainment. Staff is always nice, decent selection of beers and alcohol. Good food overall. Our staples are the chowder, potato skins, and wings but have had their sandwhiches which have been good as well.“

“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.“

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

“Food was great!! Service was excellent!! We will be back! Thank you“

“Awesome service and great breakfast ! The newest sleeper place to eat in Beach Haven.“

“Just a seriously good meal in a very friendly and comfortable spot. The chowder is not to be missed and my usually very picky 4 year old (seriously, sometimes he rejects pizza) absolutely loved the chicken finger kids platter.

We will absolutely be back!“

“Absolutely Amazing!! We just had the most beautiful event at Bird and Betty’s! The staff was remarkable! They were attentive to our every need. The process of having this party from beginning to end was seamless with the help of Brie, the coordinator and her staff. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations!! The attention to details were on point! Thank you Bird and Betty’s for making our future bride’s dreams come true!! 🤍“
