    Scallops Pesto

    Such a great spot with great food on the island. The owner , Robert, is always so helpful and nice. Not the biggest restaurant and can get a little loud but still a great place. Everything we ordered was great with large portions. Will always come back!

    Another great meal. Always satisfied here . This place always delivers. For LBI it's worth it. Spotless inside nice and cold . Parking on street. Great wait staff.

    Fantastic, authentic Italian food in a family-owned operation. Wear stretchy clothing because you will leave full (and with leftovers).

    Far and away the best restaurant on Long Beach Island. Frequent visits and always spectacular. Unmatched quality, service and atmosphere.

    The beach house is a very nice restaurant in LBI. We have come a few times to eat here for dinner…read morefor the past few years. Our waitresses have always been very attentive and kind. The food comes out relatively quick, you get bread & butter and family style salad to eat while you wait. I do love their effort to include vegan entrees, and this is hard to come by! I always get the vegan Pat's pasta with beyond sausage - broccoli, sun dried tomatoes, garlic and oil, you really can't go wrong. It's always very good and they give you a good portion. My only "gripe" is that it's pricey. BUT you are in a pricey area! So that is kind of to be expected. Overall I'd say beach house is a solid option amongst many in the southern end of the island.

    We were really looking forward to visiting the Beach House but it was underwhelming. Their wine…read moreselection is limited, but I think you can bring your own stuff. The food is just okay, nothing to rave about. The calamari special app with kung pao sauce was our favorite. It tasted fresh and the sauce was delicious. The tuna special bites were also good. Our entrees were underwhelming. The swordfish special was overcooked and the side of rice had no flavor. The shrimp pasta was ok- the shrimp was good, buttery wine sauce was also good but the broccoli was mush and tasted like it was frozen. For the prices we expected more elevated meals, especially compared to other restaurants in the area. Everything was just ok, not what we expected from a seafood restaurant on the island. Our server was nice and checked on us an appropriate amount of times. The ambiance was also nice with the patio table and nice sunset behind us. We may give it another try for brunch but probably not worth visiting again for dinner.

    You need to have a little crazy in you to open a restaurant in general and a bit more crazy to open…read moreon the busiest weekend of the summer season in a resort town, but kudos to this entire group and staff. We unknowingly went on the 2nd day open after we saw the new sign when pulling in our boat on the BH ramp and the chaos did not disappoint. Throw a group of people together who are short staffed, have never worked together before on a floor and kitchen they have never seen and it's instant entertainment. With all that said, the manager juggled staff, guests and the kitchen like a pro. She had a great game face amidst the chaos, firm, confident and reassuring with staff and friendly with guests. Our server, Lisa (?) was awesome, ever so gracious, continually apologizing for the slow service, but never panicked and always smiling. The floor boy/busser/food runner, (Allen, Alex?) was quick with the water refills and with the nod of head we had warm bread that kept my 2 daughters at bay until the food arrived. I'm a logistics guy, so while I was fascinated watching a new and overwhelmed staff, it might not be your idea of entertainment while waiting for your food. And you will wait a loooooong time (well over 1 hour) to be served. We're a no electronics at the table family, but I had to give in to my daughters or they may have burned the place down. The reason to come to any restaurant is the food and this menu is OUTSTANDING! We had the Mussels and a Caesar salad as apps, the girls had the Pizzettes which they devoured. The Chicken Amalfi and the Tuscan Flounder were solid 5 star. Just watching dishes come out to other tables made me want to come back. Portions are large enough to share and like everything on LBI, it's not inexpensive, but we felt we got decent value. Didn't see a desert menu, but in truth, as much as I would have liked to sample the sweets, we were there so long it felt like we moved in and we just needed to go home. We tipped heavily, feeling ever so bad for the staff and tried to slip a Hamilton to Allen/Alex that he politely refused-Here's a tip A/A, never refuse a tip With all of that said, if service improves, this is destined to become one of LBI's best restaurants and in all probability a rare (for me) 5 star Yelp review.

    Once again Blue Water Cafe was everything I expect it to be. Came here again on our annual outing…read morewith the family. Weather has been crappy here all week so we were able to get a table immediately. I love that it's BYOB here both to save a little money and to bring wine we know we're going to love. We were seated at the same table as last year (odd coincidence) and started looking over the menu when they brought over an ice bucket for our wine (a nice Italian rosé). For appetizers my daughter and I both got a bowl (you heard me, a bowl) of the best clam chowder I've had on the Island, the rest of the crowd had wedge salads or house salads. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best clam chowder I've had here...not even close. This year I went with the seafood scampi special - shrimp, crab, and scallops over angel hair. Wifey had the stuffed shrimp special, my son had the salmon picatta, daughter had the shrimp pomodoro, and her fiancé had the grilled salmon. Five meals of perfection. Just the right serving size, excellent flavors, great service. Keep in mind they don't take reservations so on a normal night we would have waited. Also, limited parking so pay attention to the signs on the streets. This is a great place to eat, but it can get a little loud inside. 100% recommend! P.s. my son lost his ear buds here tonight, but when he called they had already found them and put them aside for him. We just stopped by on the way back from Bay Village and picked them up.

    Omg wow. Everything was amazing. Personal standouts were the blue crab dip, graham slam gelato and…read morethe meatloaf. Phenomenal food and beautiful restaurant, our service was great too!
