B2 is unmatched. Our first visit, we tried brunch food and we were very impressed. Progressively, family has taken us out there after taking our children to the ocean county mall for some delicious food. My favorite thing on the menu is the pretzel with the sauce they give and the sushi. Easily the best sushi I have ever had. We have my son’s baptism booked in November of 2025 and we are super excited to have family try the food we have been raving about for months. Brian has been very accommodating in assisting us with our event details as it comes closer to the date; he even let us keep our deposit and move our date due to a family emergency. Make the reservation today you will not be disappointed.

I recently had my son’s baptism at B2 and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, especially the short rib. We used their back room which sat 80 people and it was perfect. It had a beautiful rustic charm to it which was perfect for my theme. Brian and his staff were so accommodating and friendly, I really can’t say enough about their professionalism. I will definitely host another event at this location in the future.

I always enjoy coming here! The menu is different every time and I’m really enjoying the shrimp tempura today. Calamari is always great. Today I was greeted by the hostess, she was really nice and seated me right away “Haylen” and our server was very nice too. I was seated at a quieter area which I liked by Robert, as always it was a nice time with amazing food. The manager also walked around and greeted me I always enjoy coming here!

Was seated for a reservation waited 10-13 min before having to get up and go to the front to ask if they could send a waiter our way with some water abd to get drink order. 5 min go by lady comes to table apologized and offered drinks on the house. Ok np thank you. Waiter comes over and apologized apparently the waiter that had our section had just left and didn’t tell anyone. Ok np things happen and we are very easy going people. So we ordered and waited for apps. Apps came out still had no silverware. Bus boy comes with the soup when we asked him for some silverware. Appetizers were delicious and slightly cold but no biggie we didn’t say anything. Few min go by and another person brings my moms fajita skillet and fixings for her fajita. Guy then came back with my food and my husband’s food. My food was ice cold when it was brought to me. The rice, the beans and the steak completely cold. My mom then goes to assemble her fajitas when she realized her rice and beans were ice cold. The waiter came by and asked how everything was when he told him about the cold food. He asked us if we wanted them to heat it up which I declined because #1 who wants microwaved steak, #2 worried about what i would get back abd #3 just over it at this point. My mom asked for hers to be heated to which ended up being good once it was hot. I left my whole meal on the table which the waiter noticed. You think they would have offered some type of discount on my $30 meal since it was not what you should get in a restaurant for that price but no. The only thing they did was comp us for the ice tea, glass of soda , and a glass of red wine that was offered to us for waiting for a waiter which was before the cold food incident. This was our first time here and was thinking of having our wedding party there but don’t think I would even return to eat a regular meal there let alone trust them with a party. This dinner was for my husband’s birthday and was a complete let down. I gave 2 stars only because the waiter that ended up having to serve us while there were short handed was very and apologetic and the food that was hot was pretty good

I had been tasked with planning the first baby shower for my family, and B2 was on the shortlist of places we were looking at. After my first call with Shannon, I knew this was the place! She made herself available for every question I had along the way, and was very supportive and helpful. The day of the shower was a total success! The back banquet room was perfect for our group of 50+. The menu options we chose were all hits among our guests (we would have picked more if we were able!) Our bartender, Amanda, and servers, Nicole and Erin, were friendly and attentive. The whole staff at B2 had been just as invested in making this a day to remember as I was. We were even told that our event was as much fun for them to host as it was for us to be attending. Our group can’t praise B2 enough for how beautiful this baby shower turned out. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

Have not had a bad meal or service here yet. And I frequent this place for lunch with colleagues. Compared to the other B2’s, this is the one where the chef is on point. Can’t even say what my favorite is because they are all really good. But whenever I have the sweet potato fries, I must have the maple aioli instead of ketchup. I think I could drink that stuff. Service has always been friendly, attentive. Facility itself is amenable for for grade one to ones, or larger events. Absolutely love this place!

We recently had my father’s 80th surprise birthday party at B2, and the entire experience was fantastic! From the first moment I connected with Brian, the banquet manager, I felt I was in good hands. He was very prompt in answering all my emails and phone calls, and patient when I took time to get back to him. The back room was the perfect size, beautifully decorated, and had a warm, rustic feel. We also opted to have our own bartender, and it worked out very well. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating, and she made sure we were happy throughout the night. Brian went above and beyond to incorporate our color scheme and even helped us add decorations to a cake that we brought in from outside. He helped to make the surprise a success and genuinely cared about all of our guests. The food was delicious, especially the short ribs. We opted for the buffet, and the amount of food was plentiful. We even ended up taking some home at the end of the night. Overall, our experience at B2 was wonderful! My family and I will definitely be back for dinner, and we will certainly consider B2 again for any future events we host. Thank you, Brian and staff, for making my father’s 80th birthday so memorable!
