Can only comment on the drinks/rooftop bar of this place. AWESOME modern decor. Great drinks- STRONG drinks, I should say. Lightweight over here didn't make it past half of her own! read more

Daddy O is a little bit frustrating. We've been coming since 2009 when at the time I had had some of my very favorite meals. The bloom has come off the rose a little bit in recent years. I have to say that the filet w/ crab meat entree was a huge disappointment. So little crab at surf and turf prices. That being said... my experiences over the years, the rest of our meal including the sushi appetizers, the atmosphere, the friendly service... this is still a four star spot that at times achieves five star status. Be warned, it's very pricey... but in general well worth it! read more

Rooftop lounge is a nice place to watch the sunset. There were a lot of families with college-aged kids there, which was nice. The appetizers looked good--I may have to try them on my next trip. read more

Had dinner with friends at Daddy O and we were all very happy with the food! I would go back in a heartbeat to have that Prime Rib Burger....OH MY GOD!!! Delicious! read more

We have been coming down to LBI for over 20 years. We have never been to Daddy O's. We needed to get away for a quick overnighter. My husband booked a night here. We had no idea what to expect. We were greeted with a very sweet woman who checked us in. Went up to our room, and was pleasantly surprised to find an immaculate room. It was small but we didn't need anything bigger. The bathroom was sparkling clean and roomy. We went up to the rooftop bar before dinner, during happy hour. It was quiet as it was very early. Our waitress was so adorable and friendly. The prices were great bc of happy hour of course. The rooftop bar is awesome. The breeze is perfect for hot days. It's clean. The staff was so accommodating. After that, we walked to the beach which was a quick walk. Then went to dinner at their restaurant. Again, pleasantly surprised. Very clean, wait staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. The only negative? We sat down at 6:30 and we were done eating by 7:00. We didn't feel rushed at all, so that's not where I am going with that. The food was served so fast! We could have stayed all night without anyone rushing us out. So I give Daddy O's 5 stars. Great LBI find. Will def be going back! read more

This is a cute boutique hotel on LBI. When I think of Jersey Shore hotels I think of over priced dives. This place is not that. It has adorable rooms with top notch amenities. Ummm, a keurig in every room? Yes please! There is also an air filter heating/cooling too. The only downside is the noise level. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. Even the noise from the bar at 1am. read more

I like this spot even though everyone I know hates it. I like the calamari and salads. The menu isn't extensive and like most spots on LBI, they seem to always be gearing up for dinner as if lunch doesn't matter. But the ambience is 50s modern (I think) and the food is decent. Downside: lunch today took almost 2 hours and there were only 4 tables besides me....v e r y slow today....at 1:30pm on a Thursday. read more

Great view of ocean and bay from rooftop bar. Be prepared to walk up two double flights of stairs to get the view. The rooftop bar only serves drinks and sushi. The Marilyn Monroe is delicious. Half price drinks from 4 to 7pm read more

Came here for dinner. Sat inside. Really nice and modern place. Felt a little under-dressed for an establishment on the Island. Food was delicious. Prices are probably the highest you will find on the Island. $8-$10 craft pints, $12 mixed drinks, $14 Sangria. $18 Burger. $30 Shrimp Scampi. read more

Truly a delicious and delightful experience from the atmosphere to the inspired cuisine. Every plate and drink was perfectly crafted. Cheers to Daddy O! Looking forward to my next visit. read more

this is for the hotel only... the good: - the roof deck is really nice .. good place to drink a bottle of wine - 5 dollar cocktails during happy hour...awesome! - close to the beach...and beach tags come with your room - really nice staff at the desk - really small...only 22 rooms! the bad: - no fridge in the room ... for a beach hotel, kind of odd - room service never cleaned our room ...guess they were coming around early in the morning - rooms aren't huge, but coming from manhattan that didnt bother us much. - theres a little bit of traffic noise, seeing as the hotel is on the blvd. it is the nicest hotel on the island, but it comes at a hefty price! read more

My new favorite restaurant, Food is excellant, Service is great. I had the filet mignon and it came with Onion rings to give it that something special. THe appetizers are delicious, Wedge Salad, soups and deserts out of this world. I missed the chicken fingers this time they had wings instead. Chicken marsala was also excellant. A little pricey but worth the extra treat when on a weekend trip to LBI IF any one needs a companion to take out to Daddyos Im there lol read more

Daddy O's restaurant saved our night! After a disastrous experience at a hotel restaurant in Surf City we left without eating and walked into Daddy O's at 7:30 on a Saturday night with no reservation, they seated our party of 4 right away! They were super friendly and our waitress was very nice and helpful. Food was excellent but the cocktails were amazing, especially Chef Joe's Basil Lemonade! Can't wait to come back here soon!! read more

We were lucky enough to walk in and get seated immediately by the bar. The restaurant side seemed busy and you definitely needed a reservation. Interesting drink menu. read more

The food was OK. It needed seasoning so that's never really a good sign. However, the pour on my Prosecco was enormous! I gave an extra star for that. Plus the ambiance was awesome. 3 people, 2 drinks, 2 bowls of clam chowder and the bill was $110. A little pricey for the quality of the food, but as mentioned above, the ambiance is to die for. read more

Excellent food. Had the fish tacos and seared tuna entree. Both were very good, fresh and served cheerfully by Nikki, our server. The manager came over and introduced herself and gave us a free dessert for putting up with a nearby table's annoying offspring. We will be back. read more

Excuse me but did the Hampton Jitney lose its way? This restaurant comes across like a desperate wannabe from the excuse for a rooftop bar to dolls' house sized entrees. Each stop along the way to dinner was somewhat reminiscent of interactive theater but with a non-cohesive script. The reception desk staff was friendly and efficient, prepared to honor our reservation right on time. We elected to try the roof bar where the show began! After being conspicuously ignored by the wait staff and tiring of watching other patrons ordering take out from other restaurants, the BF and I returned to the bar on the main floor. The bartenders there were so friendly and engaging that we were certain they were not employed by the same restaurant. And that was the highlight of the evening. The first table we were offered should be reserved for a potted plant and a bowl of mints. At the entrance to the dining room, it is a guarantee for traffic, bumping and noise. Once escorted to a real table, we were hopeful that things would improve. One can dream. We ordered a number of appetizers and small plates which were served by a waiter trained somewhere in the Twilight Zone. He was totally confused and very disorganized. Our meal was satisfactory but not memorable. This establishment is trying almost too hard to be "THE" place rather than being a great beach place. We would return to the main bar for cocktails but would recommend dining elsewhere. read more

Ate here on a Friday night. Had drinks first at the rooftop bar. Went early enough to catch the happy hour. Went down to the restaurant and I ordered the Seared Tuna with black rice. So delicious although slightly salty. Waiter was good. If you plan to go after 7pm, be sure to make a reservation. Definitely a late night dinner spot for adults. read more

Nice people. I ordered a dish that I didn't know contained an ingredient I don't eat and they took care of me, no questions asked. Will be back for that kind of gesture. read more

I really want to like this place it has a good ambience however a couple of the female bartenders have a lot of attitude and don't know how to smile. Food is good. read more

My husband and I just had a scrumptious dinner here and delightful cocktails. Long drive from Westchester and we are staying close by so we took a chance on DaddyOs. We were waited on by Morgan a lovely waitress and very informative about LBI. Thanks sweetie. Then there's the phenomenal service bar bartender Danny who made me a Tikitini. Ok he made me 3 ,, it was a long week. Lol. We were also greeted by Sam the hostess who was very welcoming and helpful and very genuine. I want to add that I came to this hotel in the late 70s and early 80s with my family when it was Weidas. You have done the Weida family proud I'm sure as you have filled this lovely hotel with life and laughter again. #manygoodmemorieshere read more

The most disappointing night at a restaurant ever. We came for dinner last summer and had a great meal and fine service but not this year. From start to finish so disappointing and we'll never go back. The place was nearly empty when we arrived for our 8pm reservation. It took a few minutes to find someone to seat us. The waitress was friendly enough and took our drink order. Two of the cocktails did not taste great and did not look how they were described in the menu. The appetizers came out and were tasty but very small. Then the real mess started. After that we waited over an hour for our entrees. The Seared Tuna was absolutely raw, like it had been rolled over the grill for 30 seconds, still purple in the center. Inedible. The Scallops were warm but the risotto underneath was cold. And the worst dish was the Crab Pasta. There was no crab other than a few flakes that looked like it came out of a can. No lump pieces and the sauce was inedible. It was overwhelmingly covered in onions and capers and so salty you could not even eat it. The manager agreed to take it off the bill but was not very conciliatory; more like oh well. So now at 10:00 we've had no dinner and left very sad. Terrible. read more

We came in randomly, and were so glad we did! We sat near the bar area where there was great live music and an amazing server named Jeanette, she was personable and knowledgeable. We had some apps and drinks. The sushi is great and the calamari is unique and tasty! We recommend the pomegranate spritzer. Will definitely return! read more

My wife and I just got done eating at Daddy O. I highly recommend eating here when you are in LBI. Great couple place as well as family. The food was perfect. Fish Tacos and Steak Tips with Asian noodles were perfect. Ashley was our server and she was terrific. She checked on us but also gave us time alone. Food came out quickly and accurate. We went to the roof top bar afterwards and what a great place for drinks and apps if you want. I highly recommend Daddy O. read more

Kristen was an amazing bartender. The O Punch was amazing but her bartendeing skills on a busy Monday night was even more impressive! I can't wait to come back here. Great bar, great drinks, great bartender, great atmosphere! read more

We were a party of 10. Food was all amazing. Service was just as good! Our server Carlie was great. Restaurant delivered two complimentary champagnes to my parents who were celebrating their 54th anniversary. Very nice touch. Bacon risotto side was amazing! read more

With family, FANTASTIC food. Pork is a little tad sweet which I'm not use to but they have good portions for the prices. I had a pulled pork sandwich with truffle oil fries (sounds gross but was probably the best thing I've tried here so far) I would recommend going. Also nice music. read more

Went there last night. My food was pretty good and the service was great. Great New York modern atmosphere! I wouldn't recommend the salmon and the corn soup was great but they need to add more crab meat to the soup. lol I highly recommend the pork entree and key lime pie! Yummy!! Good place!!! read more

We had a great time celebrating my wife's birthday there. The food was excellent; My filet mignon and tuna tartar were incredible. Out waitress, Danielle, was funny, cheerful and made great suggestions. read more

Meal was very good and the service was excellent! It was my wife and my anniversary and they gave us champagne .

The Tiki tini is lit. I highly recommend. The bar staff is amazing and gives 5 star service. Paul at the front desk is so accommodating. He remembered to wish my fiancé a happy birthday and we had the best experience. read more

Loved Daddy O's. The roof top bar is amazing but if you want to enjoy the full menu eat on the outdoor patio. Our family went early and had it all to ourselves. House made unique refreshing cocktails, delicious sushi and many interesting dishes. A wide variety. Good children's menu. Friendly servers. Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Everyone was happy. read more

Happy hour at Daddy O's has choices, the main bar, the outdoor rum bar , or the rooftop bar. I have been many times to all three. Last time we went to the rooftop bar. The sushi is very good with plenty of choices. The mussels with garlic and wine were also very delicious. The Cosmos Happy Hour drink is very popular. The wait staff is friendly and accommodating. read more

Went for an anniversary dinner and Geoffrey was amazing. He immediately said, "Happy Anniversary" and brought us two glasses of champagne! I appreciate when restaurants pay attention to the notes in the reservation and act on them without having to be reminded. I have been going to Daddy O for years and usually prefer the appetizers over the entrees. However, I think the entrees have really improved! We enjoyed everything we ate and the service was great. Will definitely return! read more

This great restaurant hosted dinner following a very special celebration for our party of 12. They knocked the ball out of the park. Our server along with one of the managers could not have been more attentive to our requests and were a lot of fun. Our appetizers, Point Judith Calamari, San Marzano Pomodoro Mussel Pot, Buffalo Wingless, Blistered Shishito Peppers, Mediterranean Flatbread, Mediterranean Flatbread were fresh, served quickly and were delicious. The entrées consisted of daddy O Burger, Crispy Chick-Fil-O, Black Bean Falafel, California Kale Caesar with Pan Seared Salmon, O Chopped with Steak Tips, Blackened Shrimp Tacos, Ribeye Cheesesteak, Barnegat Light Scallops (x3). Once again, the food was served as ordered and all of the guests of our party raved about each of their dishes and the enjoyable evening that Daddy O's delivered. Definitely, put this restaurant on your "must do's" while visiting LBI . Arrive early for dinner so you can take advantage of one of the 3 bars that are friendly and pour awesome drinks. read more

A boutique hotel close to down town Beach Haven. Rooms on the small side, however, clean and comfortable. Didn't have dinner, but did get a flat bread which was excellent. Complimentary wi-fi and Keurig breakfast cups which is always a plus. Limited staff but that's probably due to us staying in the off-season (end of April). We would definitely return. read more

Good ambience. Can only speak for the restaurant not the rooftop. The wine selection was pitiful, mixed drinks were eh, the service alright and the food was ok at best. Tries to give off an upscale, sophisticated vibe but the cuisine is lacking. Our server had no personality whatsoever. read more

Find some other place to eat. Passed by the place and seemed very trendy, plus rooftop deck lured us in. We were told it was closed due to heat. Now this is a 3rd week of Juky, 75 outside, low humidity. What better weather can you expect? Ok, let's stay inside. Waited for 15 minutes for a table and another 10 for bar maid to settle our tab. Drinks were watered down and had more ice than the North Pole. Menu was rather limited and pricey. Now at the table order was taken after another 10 minute wait.The silverware was filthy. Meanwhile, server didn't even give us bread rolls until we asked. About 30 mins after ordering, soup finally came out. It was bland and lukewarm. Appetizers were sub-par, I've had better at Friday's. Lastly, the $30+ entres we ordered didn't come out until about an hour since the order was placed. It only came out after I called our server over and asked her to cancel it. A minute later she showed up with our dishes and a guilty look on her face. I should have sent them back but I didn't want to be a jerk about it. That was a mistake. Food was bland and uninspired at best. So called "roasted veggies" tasted like they were a frozen variety defrosted an hour ago. Fish dishes were also bland, lukewarm and not worth even a 1/2 of the price they had a nerve to charge. I called a manager over and voiced my dissatisfaction with the dining experience. He apologized and said he would take care of us. That meant bringing us a check.... for the full amount. Not even a "hey, our overpriced drinks are on the house". Bottom line, the absolute worst dining experience in recent memory. This place is to be avoided at all costs, even if your only other choice for a meal is a Burger King 5 miles away. Better drive there now, it may be a long wait. read more

A very nice surprise, more elegant than we expected and the food was great. We ate in the dining room one night an picked up take out another. Both were very good, but not cheap. We will be back. read more

First impressions of the newly renovated Daddy-O and my dining experience: Beautifully designed interior, spacious bar, friendly staff, and accommodating servers. Unfortunately, that is as long as my list goes for this two-star price gauger. The menu descriptions for the entrées excite the tastebuds, but be prepared for a let down. While the food was flavorful, the presentation and portion size left much to be desired. Compared to other closely priced restaurants on the island, the portions served at Daddy-O are very small for the prices being charged, leaving the customer with a feeling of regret for dining there. As for the drinks from the bar, they too were a let down. The cocktail list was extensive and unique, however, the drinks were bland and disappointing at $12 per. Price would not be an issue here if the food and drinks at Daddy-O were above average in presentation, portion size, and overall quality. Yet this is not the case. read more
