Reviews for The Beach House Restaurant LBI in Beach Haven, NJ

Heidi, our server, made our experience a 5 star dining extravaganza. She was so wonderful, so attentive, and on top of... everything. The food was great, but it was Heidi that was amazing. She NEEDS A RAISE! We got a plethora of pastas, appetizers,and even dessert. She told us many of the desserts were made on site- the key lime pie was to die for! Make sure you get it.Thanks for a great dining experience, we will definitely be returning. Read more

First time to the Beach House Restaurant and I've been coming to LBI for over 30 years. Food was excellent but a little on the... pricey side. You definitely have to pay for quality though and the scallops were out of this world. Homemade dressings fortheir salads were also great. It's a BYOB but you can purchase some local bottles of wine there. Tables on the porch are firstcome, first serve so you don't need a reservation but seating on the porch is limited. Definitely would come back and the onlyreason I didn't give it five stars was because of the higher prices. If you want an excellent dinner and aren't concerned aboutpaying for quality, you should definitely stop here. Read more

Last week we joined our friends at LBI for a beautiful vacation. We purposely made reservations at two different restaurants... because we were quite a large party with both families. My family was waiting for our seating at another restaurant on theisland when we saw our friends walking across the parking lot to enter our restaurant. We couldn?t imagine why they were there.Well, they began telling us a story about how their reservations were cancelled. They had nowhere to eat. Dressed up, wine inhand. The first thing I asked my friends was, ?Didn?t you respond to your conformation text the other day when we were on thebeach?? YES, they did. No excuses. They were rudely treated and not accommodated. Of course they were upset. Vacations wereplanned and if things like this happen, owners of restaurants should be accommodating. Read more

Service was good, food was below average especially for the price. If you are looking for a place to wear a polo shirt tucked... into khaki shorts to feel dressed up at the beach, this is your spot. If you want great seafood at a fair price, go elsewhere. Read more

TERRIBLE AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, RUDE!! We made reservations over 2 weeks ago and they were confirmed multiple times. We got... there and they said our reservations for our party of 8 was canceled the day before, after it was confirmed via text the dayprior. A woman who said she was the owner asked, "What do you want me to do?" She offered nothing. She said if we waited 20minutes she would sit half of our party somewhere she would not recommend. If you owned the restaurant, why would you ever sayyou wouldn't recommend sitting somewhere in your. OWN restaurant?!! She was not helpful or very apologetic at all......weexpressed that we were very upset and stated she couldn't do anything. We preceded to leave and attempted to find anotherrestaurant last minute to seat our party of 8. We found another restaurant that was wonderful and we walked there. Then thelady from the Beach House called back after we were almost at the other restaurant and said maybe she could move some tables.Why she didn't suggest that while we were there, I have no idea. It's safe to say we will never go there nor recommend The BeachHouse! Terrible experience!! Read more

The food wasn't bad, but it was not good enough to justify the prices charged. When you see the prices on the menu you have an... expectation that the food is going to be fantastic and that you're going to have a very flavorful meal. Unfortunately most ofthe dishes were pretty bland or seemed to be prepared hurriedly. One final note, the inclusion of a separate "kitchen tip" linein the bill was pretty weird. Nobody in our party, or even any of the nearby tables had ever heard of such a thing. Read more

Went for dinner with family, called in the early morning to make reservations and were told they only had times available at... 515. Arrived on time and walked in from their parking lot, did not know to check in at the outside hostess station as there isno signage in the lot. A middle aged woman with dark hair rudely addressed us to go back and check in outside. Once Inside theambiance was very off from what we expected based on the online photos, much more like a cheap family restaurant than a fancyone as they advertise. The menu appeared very overpriced along with the childrens menu, a hot dog was $13. I ordered a chickenand shrimp pasta for $30+. It came with a ?salad? which was served Olive Garden style but with less flavor. The pasta itself wasextremely bland featuring three medium sized shrimp and a small portion of chicken, not what I was expecting for the price. Verypoor presentation and mediocre wait staff. The best service came at the end from the boys clearing the table and boxing ourleftovers. Read more

Food was very good. Service could be improved upon immensely. Went for romantic dinner for 2. Took 15 minutes to get seated... although we had reservations. Plus you could see open tables. But once seated took another 10 minutes to get acknowledged by thewait staff just to get water and glasses for our wine. The only part of the service I considered appropriate was the bus Boyscleared dishes promptly. Would only recommend if you liked that type of service. Read more
