Our meal was 250 for 4 people and it wasn't worth 25 dollars. If you want to pay $35 for 4 scallops with a sauce that taste like sugar and balls feel free to go. They put a piece of ass cheese in your fig and charge you $20. Terrible food New Yorkers ripping off the tourists. Good luck. read more

We had a wonderful dining experience. From the hostess to the wait staff, the chef who came out to check on things, to the owner Mark and his lovely wife, everyone we encountered was very friendly. The presentation of the food was exceptional, and it tasted even better! My swordfish was slightly dry, maybe a little overcooked, but everything else was ridiculously good. Our server Stephan was a professional and made our experience memorable. We can't wait to go back this Saturday ( if we can get a table for 8!) read more

Good food, a little pricey but okay, service is very rushed. We had a 5:30 reservation, had an appetizer, entree, and coffee. We settled the check ($200 four people) as soon as it came and then the hostess came over, we thought to see if everything was okay but instead she said she needed the table and asked us to leave, it was 7 o'clock on a Friday. We weren't hanging out we had just finished coffee apparently no refills. We thought it was unnecessary and rude. If your looking for a relaxed dinner this is not the place. We will not be back. read more

Overall this place was worth it. As a BYOB you are sure to get your money's worth. Started out with a chowder with crabmeat and corn. Very good. We then had the lobster flatbread. Also tasty but the tomatoes weren't the best. My wife had the stuffed shrimp which she enjoyed and I had flounder over risotto. Flounder was very good but the risotto was a little gluey. But all in all very nice meal. Service was good and would go back. LBI used to be notorious for a lack of good restaurants but with places like Dune 18 that is changing. read more

Excellent food and service. Diverse menu with lots of fresh seafood. Good size portions. BYOB. Eat outside if possible since inside is slightly noisy and often cold. Great specials especially the lobster but beware they are often very expensive. Reservations are a must. Free parking in front but caution that in season some of it is limited to 1 hour before 6 pm and Ship Bottom loves to write expensive tickets. read more

I wanted to love this place. I really did but nothing has changed since Gregory's. So here is a quick run down of our disappointments --reservations are 730. Arrived at 7:28. Told they were running behind -- 7:35- asked for wine glasses and cork screw so we can enjoy a glass of wine while we wait. Received wine glasses but never received corkscrew so no drinking prior to sitting --7:50. Seated at table-20 minutes late --8:05 (15 minutes after being seated!) water arrives and we FiNALLY had our wine opened --8:20 Ordered food --8:50 2 of 3 appetizers arrive. We start eating after 4 minutes and reminded server about the 3rd appetizer. 3rd appetizer arrives at 8:57 Almost 40 minutes after order taken --9:30 asked manager where entries were -9:47 entries arrive- dry, cold, over cooked. We are disappointed and tell female owner. She dismisses us -9:50 -male owner comes to table and gets in our faces. We are not happy and ask him to give us space to eat. He sAys that he will give us dessert for free and we informed him that we don't eat dessert. He says something like "it's all on me". We dont know if that means he is paying for our meal or we should put the blame on him. We eat our overcooked and dry meals. We all agree that they are all okay but significantly over priced for what we received -10:05. Ask for check. We get full charge. No discount. Okay, we paid and tipped our server 20% and let them know we won't be back. We won't. We live 5 blocks away and we won't go back By the way, on their menu they have a note that tables can be seated for no more than 90 minutes. We had not even received our entrées within 90 minutes. read more

Very poor service. Sat down and 15 mins later the waitress showed up to put our wine on ice and take an app order. 15 mins later she returned to take dinner order (no app arrival yet). Bread basket was a few slices of stake tasteless bread.. Dinner came at least an hour after we sat down. Waitress did not come by once between ordering dinner & meal arrival. App never showed up. It appeared as if there one one waitress for at least 10 tables so it wasn't entirely her fault that she was not attentive rather poor management perhaps. Food was mediocre. Service took away from the overall experience. Dont waste your time. read more

I really enjoyed the meal we had here this past August. The service was great and the food was wonderful. One of the best pork chops I have had and the rest of the dishes were nicely done. Would certainly dine there again read more

We just enjoyed a tasty meal and good service. BUT when we received check were surprised to learn the special we ordered was more than twice the cost of average entree. When we spoke respectfully to owner she became defensive, was unapologetic and even through under local conpetitive establishments under the bus. Unbelievable! They lost us, a repeat customer. She even had the nerve to use the phrase "low class" regarding our calm and justified comment. read more

Wonderful experience at Dune 18. Atmosphere, food and service were great. The lobster ravioli and the swordfish were top notch. The sauces were excellent also. Give it a try. read more

This place was such an unpredictable pleasant surprise. We had passed it many times but never thought to stop. So happy we did! From start to finish the food was AMAZING!! Service was great especially Michael..a 15yr old such a well mannered hard working young man bussing our tables! (Tip him extra ladies and gents) overall 100% would recommend! Good vibe and great food!! read more

Dune 18 is a great restaurant, food is absolutely delicious. The menu has a nice variety of choices. My husband and I both had stuffed shrimp, they were great. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends. We were a party of 6 so we had a round table to the left of the front door (looking in from outside the restaurant). It was a great table, but the seat next to the uncovered window is very hot. See through shades, like the ones in the rest of the restaurant, would be great on the two windows on either side of the front door. Can't wait to go again!! read more

My family first came here a couple months ago on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! The service was great & the owners personally stopped by the table to ask how we were. We've been coming throughout the season and have not been disappointed yet. The halibut + risotto, tuna, and spring rolls are all amazing. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for fresh seafood with an elevated twist :) read more

I have been here prior with others, always have an issue. Not my pic to dine here, and was disappointed again. 8:00 reservation, we pulled up to a crowd waiting. Seated at 8:45 with 2 other groups next to & behind us. We were the last table approached by server for anything, no bread or water, though another employee who was attending to others, with bread & water passed us by at least a half a dozen times.. Our order was finally placed for the 4 of us,prior to the table behind us of 8. They received their food prior to us, and the table adjacent of 4, were done eating as we are served, It is now 10pm. The owner is greeting tables & and asks us how are things.. He was beyond rude, not interested in any comment regarding dissatisfaction, offered insincere apologies five times, cutting us off in our explanations, boasting that he overbooked, then walked away saying, I guess you won't be back, but we will still be here. FYI, Running a successful restaurant is not just about the food. read more

Amazing! Please read to the end for the finale. My party of 8 stumbled in there Friday at 6:15 to see if they could seat us. We were told yes but they needed the table at 8 for a reservation. No problem. We ordered apps I.e, pork belly, spring rolls, lobster flat bread, shrimp - all delicious. For my main course I ordered the Halibut with seafood risotto. It was by far the most amazingly prepared halibut I have ever had and that's including a trip to Alaska where it was the fresh caught fish everywhere I went. It was mouth watering. The risotto was perfectly cooked and the seafood twist was just right. I am normally not a fan of risotto but this was special. My party of 8 ordered a variety of dishes off of the limited menu. Not one complaint from the table, not even from the 13 & 14 year old. I personally complimented the owner on the spectacular meal and to give regards to the chef. At around 7:15 while we were dining a group came in (our table was in front window) for their "7:15 reservation" FOR OUR TABLE. The owner (hostess) politely informed them that their reservations were at 8 and with that the group became nasty and belligerent. They were arguing they reserved it (my table) etc. for 8 o'clock. They were not understanding to a possible miscommunication (probably on their part from the way they were acting) and I think they wanted us to leave mid-meal. Such entitlement. They threatened the owner with a bad Yelp review which she gestured an I don't care about your Yelp review. Yay her. Working with the public as I do people feel they can bully you with review threats. She handled herself perfectly. The restaurant business suffered enough during the pandemic. Stuff happens. Miscommunications and so on. Stop being so angry about little stuff. This restaurant is fantastic!!! One of the best meals I have ever had in my 53 years. Go there. The service was also exceptional. No complaints from my picky party of 8. Mangia!! read more

5 starts to this place. Service was great! Food was out of this world! I ordered crab cakes as an appetizer and scallops for dinner. The best! Thank you for the hospitality Mark and Virginia. Even the chef came out to say hello to us. Make sure to make reservations because they're very popular. Can't wait to be back! read more
