This is a beautiful boutique hotel in Brant Beach on Long Beach Island. You feel at home the moment you walk in and are greeted by a warm,"hi, how are you doing today?" This place is classy and casual at the same time. The food and atmosphere are fantastic and truly the only thing that might overshadow the great food and atmosphere is the AMAZING FRIENDLY STAFF... they are the best !! From Rachel at the front desk to Jill, Colton and Ryan at the bar you just can't ask for better service or nicer genuine people. We have been coming back to this hotel for years now and continue to love everything about it. Whether you are there for drinks, dinner or a hotel stay you will see the manage John, making his rounds to make sure you are happy. Very impressive. It is service like this that keeps us coming back year after year. It is truly our happy place at the Jersey Shore .We checked out yesterday and are already anxious for our next visit. read more

Recognizing that Daddy O might have been pulling out all the stops for NYE...I was very impressed with this place. The last time I came here, I was a kid and the place was an Irish pub called Wida's. Daddy O might be the best meal on LBI. We enjoyed Spanish octopus, an Asian fusion salad, and a special of lobster tail stuffed with lump crab meat (wow). The solid menu is well complimented by an extensive drink list including house cocktails, wine (truly a global wine list, so refreshing for an LBI restaurant), and beer. Service is elevated for South Jersey. Not the briskest pace, but everyone is very warm and welcoming. Overall this place is sneakily good and delivers. I'd much prefer this to some of the other restaurants on the island, many of which are overpriced and mediocre. read more

This, for sure, has to be the single best meal we have ever had on Long Beach Island. When we arrived, 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 read more

I am normally a little wary of a 'hotel restaurant', but Daddy O is far from that. From the second you walk in, you see something a little different. The menu has a bit of a fusion flair and we started with the fried cheese curds (how can you add MORE calories to cheese, you ask?). It was DELICIOUS. I got the blueberry lemonade made with vodka and at $14 per glass, it was a little expensive, but wasn't too strong and was delicious. My entree was the adult grilled cheese - with fig jam and a little bit of salad. It was perfect as I wasn't super hungry and adding bacon made it feel and taste a bit more grown up. Overall, I felt that Daddy O delivered what we needed, but was a little overpriced for what we received. Still, it's a beach town so I do understand. Our server was fantastic, adorable and very attentive. Defintitely a place I wouldn't say 'no' to coming on my next visit! read more

After several years of going to LBI we must've passed this place every single time and paid no mind to it. We happened to be arriving later one off peak evening so we stopped in. So happy we did. The place is huge and the quality of food is probably better than most spots on the island. Very nice ambiance as well. They have a kids menu (which wasn't available on the website). Their drinks are on the stronger side. Seasonal cocktails are their specialties! I had the BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH - pickle brined, kimchi mayo, shaved romaine, house pickles, brioche roll. It was a bit over dressed with the mayo and messy but delicious nonetheless. Wife had - VERLASSO SALMON -creamer potatoes, watercress & citrus salad, pesto, port reduction which she thoroughly enjoyed. Their prices are on the higher end. Service was great and friendly. Plenty of parking nearby (large lot). ENJOY! read more

Daddy O - SPICY TUNA TACOS BBQ OCTOPUS - New American Near Me - Brant Beach, New Jersey

Probably not a new favorite spot.. they bussed a table for our reservation but sat us when it was wet and sticky. We never got silverware so we had to get up and ask the bartender when our apps came. Calamari tasted like it was frozen. It was bland and tough. The Aioli was good. The sushi roll is ok, expensive but not special . The scallops were the Star, perfectly cooked with a delicious corn sauce of some sort. The cous cous didn't make any sense with it. The bell pepper really overpowered and the fava beans made it bitter. A garlic or more mild cous cous would've been a much better pairing. It's a bummer because the scallops are the best we've had on the island. The ahi tuna entree was ice cold in the middle. Yes it was ordered rare but it really should be room temp. Our waitress was sweet and drinks were fine. Overall just ok I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

I wasn't happy with the soup & salad I had at lunch. Too expensive as well. Better food & prices at other resturants in the area. On a positive note, the staff was friendly & the facilities are nice. read more

Came here last night and asked for a seat at the bar. I love the roof top patio here. We weren't sure if we were just having a drink or getting something to eat. We ended up staying for dinner and we weren't disappointed. The beef short rib was really good. I was not expecting it to come on a bed of pasta though. Probably should add that to their description. Definitely a $$$ type place. Inside is gorgeous and you can totally have a romantic night here with your significant other read more

Love the options on the menu! The soup was amazing! Honestly though Buffalo Wingless was cauliflower- needed a little bit more blue cheese The salads were yummy- love how big the portions were!! French onion gnocchis weren't the best- the pasta was way too mushy and the taste wasn't there for me. Lots of drinks options- good price and were strong!! Service was decent. Had a lovely view from the rooftop! Would come back to try more! read more

Lunch time at the Jersey shore and a cloudy day with occasional showers so out to lunch and spotted this place driving down the Blvd. This restaurant is attached to a hotel and upon arrival at 12:00 the place was empty so we were seated promptly. Looking for a Light meal and kicked it off with calamari, golden crisp, not greasy or chewy with a couple sauces. Next up was a ribeye cheesesteak sandwich that really had thinly sliced steak, provolone and crispy onion. The the sandwich was so big I could only eat half and ignored the fries that were also crispy and very tasty, not oily. Had a couple more meals, a Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich and a Pecan Crusted Goat Cheese & Local Beet salad and feedback was very positive. Service was great, staff friendly and the place was clean and well maintained. read more

Daddy O - Sunset vibes - New American Near Me - Brant Beach, New Jersey

A summer must. Had brunch and libations yesterday. Griffin, the bartender, was so accommodating! Annabel, our waitress, was extremely pleasant and attentive. Flatbread with mushrooms, greyure and truffle oil and eggs Benedict were delicious. Mojitos and expresso martinis were not to shabby either. Such a fun place to eat outside read more

The hotel was okay. The front desk people we not very nice and did not know how to do their jobs. We were never informed about breakfast, beach passes, restaurant hours, or anything having to do with the island. The price was extremely high for the tiny, mediocre room we had. Good news is that it seemed clean. Overall very mediocre and very expensive read more

Daddy O's rooftop bar is one of our favorite spots for date night! The atmosphere is so fun and relaxed, with the perfect mix of coastal charm and trendy rooftop vibes. The drinks are always on point and the views make it such a special place to unwind together. It's the kind of spot that instantly feels like a little getaway right here on LBI. read more

I'm in love with this place. We ordered sushi and drinks. There was nothing that was not excellent, including our friendly and attentive server. I can't wait to come back next year. read more

I've never written a review before, but I feel like families should know before they spend their time and money. We've been coming to Daddy O's for years and have always had great experiences until now. We had a party of 10 and while the drinks and appetizers were great (as usual), every single entree was a disappointment. The chicken was dry, the flounder was completely tasteless, the scallops were inedible, and the mussels in the seafood pasta tasted off. It honestly felt like a totally different kitchen than we were used to. Really hoping this was a fluke, but for a place that's been a favorite, this visit was shockingly bad. Just wanted to share so others can make an informed decision. read more

We've been vacationing on LBI for a really long time and have wanted to try Daddy-Os for a while. Well, this was the year and it did NOT disappoint. We made a reservation just to make sure we got a table and we were lucky we did because by the time our drinks came there wasn't a table left in the place. Our server got to us right away and had our drinks to us (Perfect Manhattan, Raspberry Crush, Shirley Temple, and a Cucumber Cooler) as we were ready to order. Drinks were a little pricey, but it's LBI so it's expected. I ordered the Butchers cut 8oz filet and the 44 roll - shrimp tempura roll topped with salmon avocado and eel sauce and finished with an Irish Coffee. Wifey also had a 44 Roll and a Chopped salad. My son ordered a Spicy tuna roll and spicy salmon roll and applewood bacon risotto...finishing with a Decaf espresso. Finally, my daughter had the Gulf Shrimp & Gemelli Pasta. There are lots of great places to eat on LBI, and we've found a lot of them, but if you have a chance you have to hit Daddy-Os. The food, the service and the ambiance are worth the prices read more

Let's start by saving that the service here is great. If you're looking for a nice rooftop by the beach with some street views, this is a place to go. it's not very large and get very busy so I would recommend going early on weekends or holidays. The food was good! Being its location it can be quite pricey for food and drinks, but it is a great time read more

I had a great dining experience at this restaurant. The service was great. The food was delicious. When I am back in LBI and will definitely come back. read more

Rooftop service was wonderful! Bartender made sure our drinks were perfect. The food was tasty and enjoyable. Views of the streets below added a nice touch. Nice way to spend an afternoon! read more

I've been here a few times but this is my first time sitting in the dining room. I was pleasantly surprised with our experience! The service was speedy and friendly which is often surprising for a Saturday night! Our cocktails were great! They have blue cheese stuffed olives too! Unfortunately they did not have a good wine list - by the glass or by the bottle. We started with the tuna tacos, truffle fries, toast of the day, lobster bisque, and the LBI sushi roll. We loved the tuna tacos - they came in a wonton shell and it was so crunchy! We also loved the LBI roll - tasted very fresh! We did not enjoy the toast of the day or the lobster bisque. For meals, we had the shrimp tacos, scallops, and the ribeye cheesesteak. These were the best scallops I have ever had - cooked perfectly and extremely fresh! Scallops are typically over cooked and too fishy, even at high end restaurants. The risotto that came with the scallops didn't have much flavor. As for there ribeye cheesesteak, it was tied with the scallops as our favorite item! The meat was cooked well, the truffle Mayo was flavorful and the bread was the perfect texture! Would definitely go back! read more

Happy hour was great in the main bar. We did check out the rooftop bar but weather wasn't great. Definitely would come back again. Had the mussels with garlic sauce and it was amazing. Bartenders were great! read more

Everything was excellent. Service, food & ambiance. The manager Fred made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend

Daddy's Os was a good experience. The pasta with marinara was very average. The service was again just average. But I don't blame them because it was the offseason. The decorations were not good at all. Just a couple of plates. But the bathroom is very modern and beautiful. So just an average experiment. read more

Literally the worst service I've ever had in my entire life!!!! I ordered a drink and it didn't come for over 20 minutes while everyone else in my party was drinking, it came with my dinner, which is not what you want for an evening out. Rude service person -he actually admitted he never put my order in and never apologized for it. Never asked me how my mail was even though he did to the table behind me. This guy does not belong in the service business. Our bill was over $250. I do not expect this kind of treatment. read more

Service was average at best. Waitress disappeared often. Never offered refills on drinks until after meal was done. Forgot to serve one persons starter. Food was excessively spicy. Can't recommend. read more

so our visit tonight was outstanding and I give it five stars.... food was on point service including the bar service was perfect.... and my expresso penutbutter tequila martini was to die for.... our server Annabell was GREAT!!!!!! we shall be back AGAIN read more

Got a table on the rooftop. Nice view, excellent waitstaff. Since the food comes from downstairs and they'll sensibly only bring a full tray, my clam chowder was lukewarm. The chop salad was bland. All of the cocktails going by looked great. I would eat on the downstairs patio if I returned. read more

excellent spot for an intimate, higher end dinner when visiting the LBI area. they have a variety of dishes from handhelds to entrees. the seafood specifically is great quality and superior. our table ordered the muscles, bang bang shrimp, chicken milanese, short rib pasta, shrimp tacos, and steak noodle dish. all exceptional! one of the best bang bang shrimp appetizer I ever had. the service was also excellent and attentive. will be going back in the summer time to enjoy the rooftop bar read more

This is our go-to place on the Island for many years. We stopped in last night for dinner on our way to our place in Beach Haven. The place was packed; dining room was full and they were three deep at the bar. We were able to get a table at the bar area and a lovely young lady came over, cleaned the table and took our drink order. She was so friendly and as the night went on I saw her do the same with other customers and tables. Our server came and took our order a bit later. We waited about 45 minutes and no food. Our waitress finally came around and realized we had been waiting so long. My husband asked for the check and we were going to leave, but she came back almost immediately with our food which was hot and delicious as usual! The server was so apologetic and kind. The manager came over, as they always do, and comped our meals as well as gave us a free round of drinks. He could not have been nicer. What professionals. They went above and beyond for the delay which was understandable as the place was crazy busy. I just wanted to thank all three of these lovely people for being so kind to us. Always a great time at Daddy O and we will remain loyal customers! Their staff matches the excellent food and atmosphere. Thank you again. read more

I stayed @ Daddy O hotel for 2 nights. It is NOT beachside as advertised. Your view will be of a parking lot. Very old, very small rooms, very expensive . It was clean enough. I went for a room at 8 am and came back to find a note that the hotel is doing a repair and won't have water till 10:30. They have no pool. I asked why they didn't do the repair at more convenient time. They said they didn't want to interfere with their restaurant but they didn't care about inconveniencing guests. I ran down the block to the ocean to take my shower. Bad planning. read more

An all around great place where you can sit and talk and enjoy the music as well. Food is good and changes with the season off-season is my best time here when its more quiet and intimate. The attention to detail and service doesn't change, and is always great. read more

Thankful for a fine News Years Eve experience. We didn't want hoopla and noise so an early dinner was a great choice. The evening's menu had a little of everything and there were specials, including a champagne cocktail. Kudos to Daddy'O for not subjecting guests to an over priced prix fix menu like other establishments. Our waitress Ashley was on point! read more

Daddy O - Happy New Year! - New American Near Me - Brant Beach, New Jersey

Daddy-Os was my favorite restaurant on the island for years. It was my Dad and I's spot. We'd go to the rooftop bar get two paloma's, the spicy tuna tacos, mango tango sushi, and the scallops. It was the best food and the best service. Sadly that is no longer the case. My family and I went to Daddy-Os this week on a week night and waited 20 to 30 min for the second half of our tables' meal. When the other meals arrived they were overcooked. They also swapped out the risotto bed with the scallops with burnt carrots and baby corn. It was not good at all. My sisters marg tasted like it was doused with spoonfuls of sugar. The waitress was so kind and apologetic but I had to write a review bc of how disappointing it all was. read more

Daddy O - New American Near Me - Brant Beach, New Jersey

We always come here in the off-season, typically on a Saturday - early afternoon. The bar is HUGE (and the chairs are actually quite comfy)... the restaurant is large itself, with tables grouped in little "rooms" (quite cute!). Whenever we come here, we sit at the bar - you can never go wrong with that! The bartenders are always friendly and helpful, and offer suggestions to the menu. You can't go wrong with the Spicy Tuna Tacos or the Blistered Shishito Peppers ... and the French Onion Gnocchi is what dreams are made of - absolutely delicious!! The ONLY gripe I have, is that the menu hasn't changed in a long time (exact same menu from a year ago - at the very least). Keep the favorites, but switch it up!! read more
