“This is my new favorite restaurant hands down. Just ate here for the second time and was absolutely blown away by how carefully crafted every single dish is. Chef is an artist and makes me crave foods I normally do not like by how creative and delicious his food is. The staff is always incredible as well but the food here is 12/10 every single time.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great mobile pickup spot in Manahawkin! Very convenient and speedy, and the food was good. It’s a great pick-me-up snack if you’re looking to grab something quickly and eat on the go—whether you’re heading to the beach, meeting up for a picnic, or just want to enjoy your food in the parking lot or in your car. The staff was also very nice and friendly. Definitely a convenient spot when you’re on the go!“
