I made a reservation weeks ahead for 10 people on Saturday night. Of those 10 people was my 90 year old mother-in-law. We got to the restaurant and everything was dark and closed. This was not what we expected.

we had the most amazing meal at Birdys. The two appetizers of the tuna tacos and the Buratta salad with peach and prosciutto was so incredibly delicious. Then to top it off, we each had the special of the evening which was tilefish, fish tacos, and they were amazing. Service was incredibly attentive as well. Just sad that we will be leaving the island and not having the opportunity to come back again until next year.

Charlie was an awesome waiter. Everyone at Birdy’s always is! We have had Caroline as a waitress recently as well and she is wonderful as well. The scallops were delicious as was the special salad. Looking forward to dining at Birdy’s again soon.

The place is very comfortable, appealing and inviting. We were lucky to get a table outside, and, enjoyed the privacy out on the porch. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. The food was delicious.

The food was AMAZING! It always is top notch! Bravo Amy! There was 6 of us and all was perfect until an extremely LOUD group sat down next to us! It was almost a joke how obnoxious was their level of noise. Oh well!

Sadly understaffed, the server was good but she had too much to do. The menu is mainly shellfish & meat, I would have enjoyed a fish option & they were out of several items at 6:30. We ordered coffee but it never came. We have always enjoyed our experience at Birdy’s but were disappointed this time.

Birdy’s is by far one of my family’s favorite restaurants on LBI!!! Not only is their food absolutely delicious, but their ambiance is unparalleled—you feel like you’re dining in the living room of your best friend who is also an amazing chef and hostess!! Do yourself a favor and make a reservation ASAP!!

Tuna appetizer was one of the best of the summer on LBI as was the lobster roll which although pricey was literally overflowing with delicious tender lobster.
