“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.“

“Went last night to celebrate a 60th birthday. We had a good size party of family and friends. There was a lot going on. There was a wedding upstairs, another event in one of the event rooms, and another very large party celebrating a birthday. The wait staff was amazing. Our server,Jordan, never skipped a beat. She was very attentive and took great care of us. I would recommend B2 Bistro to celebrate an event or just go out and grab a meal. Quite enjoyable.“

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!“

“Beth is hands-down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. From the moment she greeted our table, her energy, professionalism, and genuine personality stood out. She was attentive without ever being overbearing, and she anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask.
My order was perfect, the timing was smooth, and she checked in just enough to make sure everything stayed on point. On top of that, she was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience feel effortless.
Beth is truly an asset to the restaurant, and you can tell she takes pride in her work. I’ll absolutely be returning, and will be asking for Beth every time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Beth“

“I Just wanted to thank the staff at TGIF today. Came in today with my family (4 kids) and the hostess came out and said sorry it took awhile but I figured the kids would like to eat in the room and I set up a movie for them! Then the same lady came in towards the end and gave them all cups filled with small goodies. The kids had such an amazing lunch there and the atmosphere the way it was decorated was so nice. It was just such an unexpected experience and I wish I knew the woman’s name to thank her more but I just wanted to let her know how much we appreciate her time, effort, and how much the kids really had a great time!“

“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)“

“Had a wonderful retirement party there on 06/07. Everything was perfect. From the table settings to the personalized menu. The servers were excellent and the food was outstanding and got rave reviews from our guests and family. Calloways has always been a favorite of mine and now has many more. Thank you to the owner and all your amazing staff. And I think you have a few more converts to your Paul Bunyan Bloody Mary’s. They were yummy.“

“The best decision we have ever made was to have Joe and his staff at Touch of Elegance cater our wedding! Joe was totally hands on from day 1. Our tasting was a phenomenal experience! Joe answered every one of our questions and even gave us information we didn’t even think to ask. When the wedding got closer he was so amazing with working with me to help me chose everything for our wedding. And the food- AMAZING! It was so amazing that we used him for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. I cannot say enough about our experience with Touch of Elegance, Joe, and the rest of his staff. We had the wedding of our dreams because of him and the Brant Beach Yacht Club! Our guests can’t stop talking about the food! And the amount of food we were sent home with?? Insane! Thank you Joe for EVERYTHING!“

“excellent service and value.“

“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!“

Darla,Taylor,Julia. Had a great night out. Thank you so much. Plan A was a good band. With yall 3 there made it better.“

“Tried this place today for the first time! Can not wait to go back. Pork roll egg and cheese on a gutted toasted habañero bagel! Didn’t expect much spice from the bagel but it was pleasantly spicy and perfectly toasted. I wish I understood how people can leave such negative reviews from a place that is obviously doing their best. And their best is good enough for me!! Can not wait to go back and try more of their delicious items. Priced right and very delicious! They even had a french toast bagel which my date was very happy to see, as not all bagel places have them. Would give six stars if possible. And the NE clam chowder was DEE-lish!!!!!“

“We went out to breakfast early this morning. It was right around 7:15 am.whike walking into the restaurant, I immediately started laughing at the music that was playing. It was Rick James' . ..Give it me baby...When we were seated,I had to ask our server about it. She said it was I heart radio playing. The restaurant had a few customers because of the early hour. Honestly, I don't think anyone else even noticed. The food really was very good...all of it! The atmosphere was a little odd for that early in the morning though.“
