“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!“

“This place is phenomenal!! James was our server and made the experience even more special. We got there early- 440pm and were seated right away but as we were leaving it was getting packed. The pork belly, steak, tuna and tile fish were all amazing! The strawberry pavlova was the most unique dessert I’ve ever had. The orange cake was also phenomenal. Honestly everything on the table was delicious. I haven’t had a meal this good in as long as I can remember. Definitely go check it out!!!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great dinner with my husband. Lovely server!!“

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

“My family went here today to just hang out. The two male bartenders were super friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our experience and will be back. I came here back when I was a kid and it never leaves you disappointed. Great food and drinks!“

“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!“

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