The Beach House Restaurant LBI — Restaurant in Long Beach Township

Wonderful meal...not inexpensive though. Small restaurant with outside seating available. BYOB. We did not bring a bottle so I don't know if there us a corking fee. Didn't see it mentioned anywhere. We had clams casino appetizer. Very nicely done. Peppers etc were cut very small. We both ordered the Corey's combo (shrimp, scallops, founder, and crab cake) which was available broiled or fried. All cooked to perfection. Crab cake was very good. They served a shrimp sauce with the dinner (for the crab) that was phenomenal. The crab was so good I didn't want to put sauce on it so I used it on the flounder. The fries were a little disappointing in that they are the starch coated ones which we do not prefer. You know how you save the last bite so that you finish on a great note? I couldn't decide what to save for the last bite...it was scallop. Tender, creamy, sweet...they were wonderful. Dessert was a brownie sundae sort of thing...Very chocolatey, very good. Wife got the apple crisp, also very good.

The service was good. Relaxed pace, not overbearing. The decor was tasteful...it was not one of those places where every square inch was fishing nets, oars, and blue marlins on the wall. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. Recommend reservations, it's not a huge place and...

The Beach House is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to eat on LBI and here's why- The menu includes several delicious seafood options including the crab cake stuffed flounder. Yes, crab cake stuffing! My daughter-in-law selected this option after I had ordered the tuna, but when I saw the (you know) crab cake stuffing part, I changed my order. The waitress was very pleasant about this and finished taking the rest of the orders. The Beach House serves the salad "family style" and it is delightful! I love the way they bring bottles of balsamic or honey mustard or what-ever-you-order salad dressing to the table. Bread is fresh and served warm! They get everything right! Finally, I must mention the fact that we had headed to a different restaurant (one that doesn't take reservations- as so many do not on LBI) but found out we would have a 2 hour wait. Ugh! We remembered how much we had loved the Mother's Day dinner we had at The Beach House so I called them- the hostess told me that they would have a booth waiting for us when we arrived! How sweet is that! We will definitely be returning to The Beach House soon for another delicious and...

TERRIBLE AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, RUDE!! We made reservations over 2 weeks ago and they were confirmed multiple times. We got there and they said our reservations for our party of 8 was canceled the day before, after it was confirmed via text the day prior. A woman who said she was the owner asked, "What do you want me to do?" She offered nothing. She said if we waited 20 minutes she would sit half of our party somewhere she would not recommend. If you owned the restaurant, why would you ever say you wouldn't recommend sitting somewhere in your. OWN restaurant?!! She was not helpful or very apologetic at all......we expressed that we were very upset and stated she couldn't do anything. We preceded to leave and attempted to find another restaurant last minute to seat our party of 8. We found another restaurant that was wonderful and we walked there. Then the lady from the Beach House called back after we were almost at the other restaurant and said maybe she could move some tables. Why she didn't suggest that while we were there, I have no idea. It's safe to say we will never go there nor recommend The Beach House! Terrible...
