“We cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding experience at the Daymark! From start to finish Paul & Brian were responsive and collaborative. The vibe and looks of the upstairs party room were beautiful and set the stage for our Mediterranean garden party by the beach disco vibes, not that it needed additional decor but they did allow us to add our own DIY elements that only enhanced the space. The service, food, and drinks were delicious and so good! Paul and the rest of the Daymark staff were attentive and helpful from the day we inquired to the end of our wedding night, to picking up our decor the next day. Everything was just so easy and so well put together. We would 100% recommend the Daymark to anyone who is looking for a unique and colorful wedding space, with an amazing team and food. 10/10 experience and SO glad we had our ceremony (rain plan which had to be used) and reception there. They were collaborative and so helpful with each of our vendors. We truly can't wait to just come and eat the food and reminisce about our amazing day.“

“Excellent seafood, great for take out too. Crab cakes are by far the best crab cakes on the island and arguably any where. I recommend the specials and love the linguini and clams. Garlic clams are off the charts delicious . Best seafood restaurant on lbi - our favorite. The restaurant is small so it can be tough to get a table but worth the wait .“

“Every year I come to LBI, I have to stop here. They have some of the freshest seafood on the island and the customer service is amazing. Every year I call ahead to see what they got and Marty is always excited to give me the rundown. This year I was specifically looking for cherry stone clams and he explained the history of clams to me so instead of cherry stones, I went with the top necks. I came in and everyone was super pleasant and Marty greeted us with a smile. Give this place a try!My family travels from PA and VA and this is one place we HAVE to go to. Thanks Marty and his team for the continued years of great service & high quality fish.“

Highly recommend you try Old Causeway for dinner and drinks if you're staying at LBI because it beats most restaurants on the island and is the only thing I'll come back over the bridge for while staying at LBI.“

“April 20, 2024 (Saturday) Baby Shower 12-4.Was such a special day. Everything from the food, service, attention to detail, rustic decor, were over and above.Marilyn and Lauren were both wonderful to work with, attentive, responsive and very flexible. Our servers Nancy and Dianne were awesome! The place was decorated beautifully with a rustic theme, they were always cleaning up, made sure there was plenty of food, replenishing the beverage table, cleaning dirty plates from table etc.I would highly recommend Kate & Ally's whether it's for an off premise party or on-site.I did not see our dishes in the selection in this review but wanted to mention we had the Chic Francaise, Tortellini Alfredo, Stuffed Shells, Filet Tips over Noodles. Everyone raved about how delicious and fresh everything was.Thank you Team Kate and Ally for such a wonderful day!“

I had the scallops and my son had the cheese steak. Two very different meals and both absolutely incredible. Our waiter was so awesome and attentive as well. Would 100% come back.“

“My husband and I had dinner here for the first time in the summer of 2023 on a weeknight inside. We decided to give it a try due to the recommendation of our neighbors. I had the Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwich and Lobster Bisque Soup in a bread bowl upon recommendation of our neighbors again. Both items did not disappoint. Both items were super filling and tasty! If you order the soup in a bread bowl, be prepared to share. It becomes like an appetizer with all the soft bread in the bowl. Absolutely delicious. As for the atmosphere, we chose to sit inside. Watching the ocean and the boats at sunset gave it a perfect summerlike feel. We will be back based on our last experience this past summer.“

“First time getting food here and I was not disappointed. I’ve seen them over the years while on vacation and always wanted to try them and so glad I did. We were just grabbing a quick lunch so I opted for a burrito, and chose the Burrito De Mariscos. I have to say it was one of the best, most flavorful burritos I’ve had. The blend of seafood (which was cooked perfectly) with the rice and beans and spices was delicious. And it was big enough to share or get two meals out of it. There was no chips and salsa that you get at some places with takeout, but that wasn’t an issue for me today. I’ll definitely be back to try other things.“

Seafood Treasures Seafood Markets •

“This place sells by far, the freshest seafood I've purchased in Ocean County. Today I bought and cooked shrimp, monkfish and scallops. The shrimp tasted like shrimp(not iodine) the monkish fish was the freshest I've ever eaten even in restaurants, this monkfish truly tasted like poor man's lobster but not at lobster prices. and the diver scallops were meaty, didn't release any water when cooked. Seafood Treasures is the only place I'll buy fresh seafood at reasonable prices. This place is truly a treasure!“
