There was one guy playing guitar music, not too loud, which made the atmosphere cozy. They have a great cocktail list if you want to try something new. The wedge salad was large and had a twist- it had a different type of dressing, crispy onion on top, and traditional blue cheese crumbles. The cheese steak comes with thick-cut fries, and the crab cake main had coleslaw on the side, which was crisp and served with a light dressing. Looking forward to dining again soon.

Everything feels fresh, well thought out, and delicious, and the prices are right for the quality and portions. The service was a little lacking and could definitely be better, especially when the place gets busy, but it did not take away from how good the food was. This place gets PACKED, and for good reason, so definitely put your name on the waiting list ahead of time if you can. Great breakfast, creative choices, fair prices, and easily one of the better breakfast options on LBI. We will absolutely be back!

We went to LBI table at the Jersey shore because we heard that they have the best pancakes. The…read morerumor was true, the pancakes were super good! They were fluffy and delicious. We also had scrambled eggs, a biscuit, hash browns and a lox bagel. The rest of the food was good but not stand-out like the pancakes. They forgot my order of bacon and then charged us for it, but they removed it from the bill when I informed them. They do not allow strollers inside. They said we could either leave the stroller on the porch or sit outside, so we chose to sit outside. It was a nice day anyways and they have umbrellas over the tables for shade. I did think it was weird that no strollers are allowed. Haven't seen that before and it didn't feel very baby-friendly. Overall, I'd still recommend LBI table.

We started out with the fig artichoke and dumpling broth (excellent)! Beet salad excellent! Gnocchi with shrimp in a truffle sauce was simply amazing! Our server was a young man very knowledgeable and attentive. I am reading that some patrons thought it was a bit loud inside, have you eaten at the Black Whale lately? Let's not forget about the dessert - we took it to go, got home and devoured both pieces which were a carrot cake and a pumpkin cheesecake, both AMAZING! We are big foodies, this is my 3rd time at this restaurant, last night being the best ever! The place was packed inside and out and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I will be back sooner than later. Don't forget BYOB. Thank you for an excellent dining experience.

A special thank you to our server, Kayla, who was friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience even better. It was an extremely hot day, so we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was dining outside. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was excellent, and the food was exceptional. In our opinion, this is some of the best food on Long Beach Island. We'll definitely be back! Sharing a few photos from our wonderful meal.

This, for sure, has to be the single best meal we have ever had on Long Beach Island. When we…read morearrived, we were seated promptly and were given a large table to accommodate our party of seven. Ben came straight over and introduced himself and told us some of the specials and allowed some time to peruse the menu. We knew that we had to get the children their food first for us to enjoy our meals and we ordered pasta and flounder for the girls and a cheeseburger and fries for the little boy. It's hard to imagine that a restaurant can be very classy while being at the beach and a very casual atmosphere but people were mixed in their dress with those of us who were more casual, but somewhat dressy and others who got dressed to the nines to enjoy their meal out with friends or family. We decided on the advice of Ben to get some duck confit and also some tang tang shrimp and also Nice chopped salad which was fresh and crisp and also some tacos and then we were off to the races with our entrées. We all decided to choose something different and give a little bite to each of the members of our adult party. While I had seared sea scallops my buddy had salmon. My wife chose a salad with some grilled shrimp And my buddies wife decided to have a plate of muscles that she enjoyed immensely. The staff was fantastic in that they took away dirty plates and replaced them with new ones and made sure that the kids had everything that they needed for us to enjoy a quiet and adult conversational meal. Compared to Long Island, NY the prices were really very fair and the quality of the food was very very good. My scallops were excellent and the other plates that I tried all were cooked perfectly. I want to give a special shout out to Ben, our server, for being very friendly and his demeanor while explaining the menu and offering suggestions. I really do look forward to our next trip back

The drinks were another disappointment, watered down, weak, and basically tasteless. On LBI, where there are so many great places to eat and grab a drink, you really have to bring your A game. Unfortunately, Surf City Bistro just doesn't. Sorry, but there are probably 20 better options in the area before I'd come back here.
