“This is a great example of a classic new jersey bagel Cafe. I love it. I moved away from NJ years ago but I go back several times each year and one of my favorite things to do is grab breakfast from a place like this.

Tip: get an extra egg on the breakfast sandwiches otherwise it's too much bread.”

“Love this place for Italian Ice on LBI. My personal favorite, Shark Attack!! . It combines the flavors of Sour Tsunami and Tiger's Blood, and is topped with a shark gummy.
For parents the kids size is at a reasonable cost, and the good for Littles or a light guilt mid day to cool down.”

“Please run, don't walk to Isola! Long Beach Island is no stranger to great spots for Italian cuisine, but Isola is not your typical Italian fare. A BYOB restaurant, Isola has a menu that easily compliments any wine! Our dinner consisted of a fresh and flavorful grilled octopus appetizer, a Cacio and Pepe even Rome would be proud of, one if the best zpirk chops we've evrry ate plated to perfrction, Hanger steak with a lovely chimichurri and a side of roasted potatoes with parmesan cheese. We ended the meal with Tiramisu to go and it was a perfect way to end the night. All that said, Isola's menu is equal to the amazing quality of service and the experience created by their staff. Every patron was smiling. We had originally ordered the Fiorentine steak and sadly it was not available. Dylan and his team went above and beyond to make sure that our dinner was not only fantastic but that we were so thrilled we quickly booked our next visit. Isola has officially entered my top 5 LBI list! Thank you, Isola for a wonderful date night!”

“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!”

“My whole work staff in Philly loves the Key Lime Pie. I decided to drive to HSB and pick one up for the work week. While there I had some great food( the Warfield chicken sandwich, great bay fries, and strawberry milk shake) yummy. The service is always great too. Highly recommend this place.”

“Reasonable prices and a well-rounded menu. Food comes out fast, tastes good and they open earlier and close later than most in Long Beach Island. As a SBYC member, it's a treat to have them so close by. Recommended.”

“The staff are very friendly, and the food is fresh and really good. Potato salad is amazing”

“Our go to place when we go to the island.”

“This was a popular place, lots of people waiting but we were seated in a timely manner considering. The restaurant has a lot more tables than it appears from the outside. Everything was delicious, from the Caesar Salad to the entrees of Duck and Steak to Chocolate and Orange Cake. I don't live in a area but highly recommend this place, it would be worth the trip.”

“We absolutely loved our first breakfast experience. By far best omelette I have ever had. Awesome home fries cooked to perfection! Fast and super friendly service 5 stars for sure. We will be back :)”
