Great restaurant just across bridge in Ship Bottom. Great food and great specials with both indoor and outdoor seating. BYOB. I find the overall quality of food here to be great but it is on the pricier side. Would compare it favorably/similarlt with Raimondos (similarly expensive), Azzuri (slightly less expensive) and Stefanos (much less expensive) — all great restaurants on the island.

First time eating here , at the recommendation of a local. Our experience was nothing short of incredible. Most memorable salmon I have ever eaten! Every wait staff member was attentive and especially our server – Cristiano – was so friendly and professional! The food is so gourmet and perfectly prepared. I cannot say enough positive things and we will definitely be back soon!!

No greeting when we first walked in, took about 5 minutes or longer for someone to speak to us. Never been served frozen shrimp on LBI in my many, many years of dining here. I was shocked for those prices! We are on the island surrounded by local seafood markets and the nerve to not provide customers with fresh seafood. We spent hundreds of dollars dining here for the first time and it’s unfortunate that it will be our last. My shrimp dish tasted like the shrimps from a Chinese takeout. Lots of shrimps but not fresh quality. Many of other restaurants on the island with higher quality food and service. Our waitress was nice and ambience too but that’s about it.

I had the absolute best dinner at Dune 18! From start to finish the food, service and atmosphere was fantastic. As someone who is lactose intolerant, the staff did such a great job helping me navigate the menu. You won’t regret visiting!!

We went for the prix fixe menu after Labor Day. $45 per person for 4 courses if top notch food, served with a smile. We were not regulars before but that may change. They ran out of some of the dishes during last seating, but everything we did have was delicious.

Ate at Dune 18 last night best dinner. Sorry we didn’t take any pics of the food but everything was delicious. Kayla our server was fabulous and the rest of the staff was on the money. We all had specials the branzino was so good and crispy, the lamb chops were delicious and the salmon is always good. Appetizers were all specials and we loved them all the desserts were yummy too. Now with lights off we will be in more frequently. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Best tuna ever! So good we went twice in the week we were on LBI. Lightly seared tuna tartare with bok choy was absolutely divine and so pretty! Wasabi crema sauce (start slowly with the amount of that as it is delectable, but also sinus opening), swirled with unagi sauce (perfect sweet pairing), and when you’ve constructed the perfect bite before you put it in your mouth dip it in the ponzu sauce. Heaven! We also had a delicious scallop, coconut, red pepper sauce appetizer, a fantastic crabcake and shrimp appetizer, a lovely Hudson Valley duck in a cranberry mustard seed sauce one night, and a red snapper in a fresh horseradish potato crust over hericot verte with sauce. The dumplings had a surprisingly fresh and delightful brightening with lemon grass, and we had some kind of wonderful marscapone berry cake for dessert. Everything was very good to exceptional. Bring your own wine (no corking fee) or purchase from their limited selection. The staff was absolutely delightful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We ate inside both times with warm playful Edison lights creating a lovely ambience.

Great experience, caring owners! Food was phenomenal, from the appetizers to the main course of Shrimp Rosa and pappardelli with braised short rib and Madeira wine sauce. Really hit the spot.
Great BYOB option on LBI!!

If you are on LBI, you must eat at Dune 18. The owner and his wife run the show and have a fantastic staff. I’m not a seafood eater, but tried the scallops with coconut rice and curry. It was literally a flavorful delight. Truly, I’ve never tasted anything like it before and will definitely order it again. I was totally impressed. My mom, wife, and son all had a different meal and all of us were more than satisfied. Generous portions and all had unique flavors. The owner stops at every table and wants everyone to leave happy. This was my 2nd time here, definitely put it in your list.
