Such a fun summer spot with a sophisticated, cool waterfront vibe! We visited B2 Bistro on a Saturday during the summer, and the atmosphere was fantastic! Live music, great drinks, excellent service, and beautiful bayside views. What's not to love? One of the coolest features is that you can actually arrive by boat! They have a dock and even offer a launch service to pick you up from your boat and bring you in. Talk about arriving in style! The seafood is incredibly fresh, with oysters and clams shucked right on-site. There's also a bayside pool bar, delicious espresso martinis, and plenty of entertainment. There was even a wedding celebration happening during our visit! The whole place has this effortlessly chic, upscale yet relaxed summer vibe. Perfect for a date, a day out with friends, or a little waterfront fun. Great atmosphere, great service, and definitely a spot I'd return to! read more

Big Place great outdoor seating great view of the bay. Large bar outdoor sets cover with a huge variety of beers. Live band was fair at best. It's very loud under the canopy in the outdoor bar. Service was a little bit slow took a long time to get a table place in order to get a drink, but they were very busy. Everybody was Pleasant. Sushi was very good. Had a couple of different kinds of rolls all really good. Wings were just OK clams just OK seafood bread appetizer just OK watermelon salad very good. Unfortunately, the fish tacos were not very good. Kind of surprising. Love the rolls very good. French fries are good. It's a pretty good place all in and i recommend giving it a shot. I didn't love the food and it was too loud for me. Sorry. Best of luck to others. read more

We truly do not even know where to begin with the B2 Bistro + Bar in Bayville! When my fiancé and I toured the restaurant as a potential wedding celebration spot, we immediately knew it was exactly what we were looking for! We wanted a more intimate wedding celebration with our friends and family and it was exactly that! The views were incredible, the food was delicious, the ceremony was breathtaking, and the bridal suite was absolutely amazing! Anne and her team were incredible helping us throughout all of the planning and the entire weekend! We had so much flexibility with being able to have our simplistic, yet beautiful wedding how we imagined. We cannot recommend the B2 Bistro enough! Thank you to the team for our wonderful and unforgettable wedding day! read more

Not great. I got married here so I'm gonna be very gentle. This young girl answered my wife's call ordering takeout for a very special occasion and she said it would be 45 minutes bc they had a wedding. Fine. We delayed our plans. Yet when we got the order, they shorted us our tuna nachos and doubled our short ribs order. So after it took 15 minutes to get that right with my card, i brought the order home to realize they shorted my order: the tuna nachos!!! Bummer. read more

The space is beautiful, I'm sure sitting outside on a nice day is perfect. Unfortunately, I had high expectations and was slightly disappointed. The steak bowl was more like a soup and the sushi was very bland. Overall the staff was attentive, but not sure we'd be making the drive to come back here. read more

Food, service, ambiance all need work. -1 our Group of 7 had a reservation for 7:45 at a high top, and we arrived early so we asked if we could be seated early. There was an outside table but the music was so loud we all would've had to yell at each other. +1 Our inside table was ready on time. +1 our server was wonderful so I'm not going to mention her name because she knows our experience was less than wonderful, and none of it was her fault. She had tables spread across the entire restaurant and the bar was running super slow and the patio seating was jam packed and there was a wedding upstairs. -1 we had three orders of the $52 seafood risotto. All three came out undercooked with crunchy uncooked rice, as if the cook decided that he didn't cook enough for all three, and added more at the last minute and it didn't cook enough. Two of the three people that ordered were too hungry to wait but the birthday boy was pretty upset not only was the risotto very undercooked, the shrimp was rubbery and the scallops were severely raw. Like, Gordon Ramsay smashing the plate level raw. Totally unacceptable. +1 all the other food was wonderful especially the seafood fra diavolo but we could've used proper pasta spoons for the dish. -1, the teenagers that brought out our plates, every single time, didn't know what table they were serving so asked if we ordered what they were delivering. When they did it right, one kid even thanked us because "he'd been scammed once that night already" when he brought food to the wrong table and they kept it.... Two servers brought the incorrect dishes to our table, and one of them was after we were finished with our entrees. After asking the waitress why this was happening she said they had just changed over the dining room from a wedding function so the teenagers didn't know which table numbers were being used. That is a training problem the manager needs to address. -1 when the birthday boy got his replacement meal, the green bean side had several beans with stems not cut off... -1 you are charging $52-$68 for your seafood dishes and they are being served on melamine plastic dishes. That is a huge turnoff. If I am going to pay that much money for overcooked shrimp and raw scallops they better not come out in a plastic plate in a region like this where there are Ferraris and corvettes in the parking lot and folks are floating up in yachts that cost more than my house. After all this, the manager didn't have a single minute to come talk to us so she made her waitress do all of the heavy lifting. We were there with a family that had been there before but hadn't gotten sit/down dinner entrees, only hand food and sandwiches. They've always been happy with that so we decided to come here. Maybe we will come back when we are in town again but it won't be for $52 uncooked rice on plastic plates. read more

We went for a quick bite for lunch. Ordered, crab cakes, baked chicken sandwich, and a burger. It was busy with a huge crowd, didn't have to wait for a hi top table outside, but we sat in the baking sun. The burger was juicy and cooked to medium,very delightful. Crab cakes were so so. My chicken sandwich was grilled and came out with one side cooked until it was stringy and dry. The other side was thick and moist but not what I expected. The service was in panic mode with staff trying to keep up with the high demand. They could have used some more staff. Our waitress was very pleasant and yet you could see she was a bit overwhelmed. It was a big crowd with a big amount of people who came in by boat. The band left much to be desired. The words were familiar but the tempo and beat was off on many songs. We have been to B2 many times and it was an off day for food, service and ambience. read more

This is our go to place for Dock n Dine. Even though there are a decent number of mooring balls, the place gets busy in the early afternoon during the summer season. They launch will pick you up ONLY from a mooring. They will not pick you up if you are anchored. So go early if you want a shot at a mooring. The outside bar is very festive and there are bands outside on summer weekends. There is a decent sized dance floor in front of the stage. No reservations outside. Decent sized bar with a few dozen tables on the deck. That said, we usually opt for inside dining where there is also a bar as well as a dining room with big picture windows. You can also make reservations for inside dining. Drinks and food are reasonable priced. Service is always pretty good and consistent at both tables and the bars. Menu is pretty diverse. My favs are the fish tacos, salmon poke bowl, sushi rolls, burgers and even their pizza is pretty good. For landlubbers, there is ample parking. read more

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to meet some friends, this spot has such a great location, beautiful views of the water that make it feel like a little getaway. They had a brunch menu that day with a DJ and live entertainment, sponsored by Belvedere Vodka, which was a fun surprise. The music was definitely loud, we couldn't really hear each other talk but the entertainment itself was really really good, so it added a lively vibe to the afternoon. I appreciated that the menu clearly marks gluten-free options, which makes ordering so much easier. I went with the Caesar salad, and it was excellent, fresh, crisp, and perfectly dressed. My friends split another entrée, and the portion sizes were generous all around. Service was friendly and attentive. Next time I'll probably grab a table a little farther from the speakers but I'll definitely be back for the food, the views, and the atmosphere. read more

Service is not good. All the people at work they're act like they're doing you a huge favor and have attitudes no eye contact never seen nothing like it nice place though they need to change that their employees in bayville it seem like they're more interested in feeding their faces than helping customers employees walking around the establishment why they eat and help customers, totally disgusting I careful for you and kind of ignorance is there read more

We love coming here! Food is consistently great and service is always perfect. We love coming when there's live music but even when there isn't, vibes are still great. We always sit outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and breeze off the water read more

What an amazing venue! Services are great, with everyone so nice and accommodating. We started out by the water, but ended up on the other side of the bar, and the server handled our bill just the same! Food was incredible, all delicious, and the ambiance is outdoors and breezy!

Very disappointing experience. The food was not good, the service was poor, and the overall experience was not worth the money. We expected much better, especially for the price. Unfortunately, this is not a restaurant I would recommend or return to. read more

This place has it all and is very aesthetically pleasing! The inside rooms have all glass windows facing the water and the outdoor section is all facing the water too. Everything is very nice . They also have a pool , for $10 per person you get to enjoy their lovely pool. I did eat here . I got the spicy shrimp sushi, the lobster bisque and the surf and turf option with lobster and steak. The sushi was okay but nothing out of the ordinary . The lobster bisque was very salty , did not look fresh and so I didn't finish it. The filet mignon tasted like burger meat and like it was reheated meat not freshly made , it did not taste like filet mignon it was not good and the lobster did not have enough butter on it so it tasted fishy (if you know what I mean ). Overall I would come back for their drinks , live bad and pool. Oh and for the view but not the food necessarily . read more

The food has really taken a hit recently. Steak - 3 out of the 4 times I ordered a steak dish, I was given rare but asked for medium. Short rib Mac & cheese special - unfortunately very dry. It needed a liquid base to soak into the bread bowl. Birria short rib quesadilla - spicy and flavorful, loved it! Blackened chicken rice bowl - had pieces of uncooked rice in it. Felt like I nearly broke my tooth on the first bite BUT other than that it was really good. I'd give that another try. Spicy chicken sando - continues to impress. Burger - still good; juicy and flavorful. No more steak tacos :( We were really keeping our fingers crossed that would come back this season. No more French onion soup either. The atmosphere is still fun and the view will never change. They rebuilt the stage area. Bands are MUCH louder now unfortunately. You could sit inside however to avoid the noise. The drinks are OK. We also miss the B2 Breeze! read more

Beautiful Sunday for some outdoor drinks and dining. Great to watch the boats come in as they have a dock and taxi for boats. Huge menu - the coconut shrimp were perfect and a nice cold sushi roll all to be washed down by fresh juice orange crush ($18) a bit pricey but still delicious. read more

I have reviewed this restaurant before but I have to tell you about the owner Jimmy he is the nicest person I think I've met in a long time. His staff is beyond amazing. They could be ungodly busy and still are exceptional. Again it comes from the top down. The food is fresh great and cooked with attention to detail. The ambiance both in and outside are fun great and exceptional. Its a must go to. read more

Great bar food! Servers and bartenders very attentive! Beer is always cold, and drinks are great! Need I say more

What is going on with this place? I sat inside and our table was filthy, When i unwrapped my fork and knife, it had food stuck on it. Further inspection, a long hair was camping on a nearby windowsill. It seems the manager thinks the only area worth watching is outside. If you choose to seat people inside, make sure it's clean at a minimum. The prices reflect a premium experience as the average cost per person is 50 dollars without drinks. This was a good spot but everything changes and it seems this is in decline. read more

Went to B2 Bistro in Bayville this Wednesday night, what a great night! The staff were friendly and welcoming. We came in for DJ night and the place had a great crowd. It was fun, music was great. We ordered the Margarita pizza, sushi, and fish tacos, all were great. Everything came out hot, fresh, and right on time. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for great food, fun music, and an classy atmosphere. read more

I have always enjoyed the food there as well as the ambiance. Service however last time I went was not good. I would not be writing this if it was one specific worker I can give people the benefit of the doubt having a bad day/shift whatever. But unfortunately there were 3 or 4 workers who were visibly mad. It was made pretty apparent from the moment we got there we were not wanted due to the time (30 mins before kitchen closed) If the staff is going to have an issue with people coming in past a certain time maybe close the kitchen earlier?? I worked in the food industry as a teenager into my early 20's and I get it, you want to go home but we had been trained to treat customers with kindness and respect especially if that's what they have been showing you. Everyone in my party had been respectful of the time despite being rushed by bussers and our server. Myself and someone else I was with had asked the same busser for the bathroom (at different times) and he responded rudely to the both of us. Not to mention when I walked out of the bathroom our server and the two bussers were seemingly talking about my party because they all went silent when I approached them lol. I can understand again if we were taking really long but we were there just over an hour. And like why is the hostess giving an attitude you are leaving at the same time either way? The boy busser was especially not nice even though he had an attitude we had wished him a good night and he said "you too" in a very obvious pissed off tone. I don't write reviews for anywhere but I have the time today and I know this place will not be receiving any of our dimes soon I am just writing this for the people who would potentially be going for a late dinner, don't be surprised if the staff is not happy with you from the moment you walk in. And again close the kitchen earlier then or work retail? Don't sign up for a job that you have a problem with the hours? Not a good birthday dinner. read more

This place is notorious for double charging of your credit card! This is the second time this has happened to me! I am in the process of calling them yet again to dispute my bill.

Awesome space to hear live music. Food is delicious and good variety for everyone. Staff is fast and friendly

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!! Food quality is horrendous. Service was slow and food is way overpriced for the quality you are being served. Also they have an all white serving staff so black and brown people be prepared to be stereotyped. Server was rude and inattentive and it was almost like she didn't want to be there. Everything felt rushed. Server was not friendly.Zero out of ten would not recommend and will not return. Worst experience on the Jersey shore so far. read more

Made my reservation for my birthday and requested a table with water view or something nice for the birthday. Arrive to learn there were 3 events and we were seated right behind the bar, away from windows after waiting a considerable amount of time at the reception... Although there is a great brick oven, the pizza was a disaster with cheap tomato sauce and a gluey dough. Large Plates - Carne Asada came on a large plate with its $$ price tag but it was far from a filling meal. 3oz of steak with a bunch of potatoes for $42 is out of place here. Epic disaster on a birthday day. read more

I've been here twice. Really enjoyed both times. The food is really good, it's not fine dining but it's far above bar food. Very good, and you can't beat the atmosphere. We love sitting on the deck by the water. Both times we drove our boat there which adds to the whole experience. Love this place, especially when they have a band playing!

Food, drinks and service are good ! Such a nice environment. Love how it's on the water getting to see the boats sitting at the bar.

Went for Thanksgiving this year, our first time at B2 and I can't say enough good things about this experience. Before I talk food, I must acknowledge the exceptional customer service. Every single person we came across was kind, helpful and friendly. I am handicapped, and it was so refreshing to have it taken in stride, a non issue for them. We were seated on the second floor, easily accessible by elevator, with a beautiful view. This was appreciated more than you know (smile). The food was outstanding. I am not a fan of traditional Thanksgiving fare and just love breakfast at any time of day, so I was thrilled to see all the breakfast options. Scrambled eggs cooked perfectly, the most delish waffles and the best ham I've had in years. The rest of our party focused on the lunch/dinner options and loved everything. Well worth the price, which was very fair. Can't wait to go back for dinner soon. read more
