"First time here and I will definitely go back. Actually can't wait to go back, there were so many things on the menu I wanted to try, the menu was big with a lot of different options.
The place itself is super nice, the food was amazing and our server was attentive.
Would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family."

"I’ve been here twice. Once with my fiancée for a lunch date. And again the other day with my family visiting from CA. Both times we had Debbie as our server. Super sweet, always giving the best recommendations and was so accommodating to my kiddos that we’re pretty demanding for being toddlers. I just want to thank Debbie for being so great to us.
My fiancée had the brisket melt both times. He’s obsessed and would probably drink the horseradish cream if he could.
I’ve had the crab cake sandwich and the buffalo chicken salad. Both were delicious.
And my mom had the brisket mac and cheese, which she enjoyed for like 3 days straight (great portion).
We’ll definitely be back, and we hope we see Debbie very soon! ♥️"

A Wave of Stylish Clubs Come to the Jersey Shore
It’s a different atmosphere for an island bar,” said Glen Burke, 48, of Hazlet, N.J., as he leaned on the bar at Daddy O, which is inside a boutique hotel with the same name. Mr. Burke, who has owned a house on Long Beach Island, for 10 years, goes to Daddy O for Friday night happy hours when he’s on the island, even in the off-season. “Getting dressed up for dinner here doesn’t just mean putting on a clean T-shirt,” he added.

Edits to your company’s response: You all did a good job with presenting the food. And the tables along the window facing the water- I was an arms length away from the table in front of me and the side. And if I’m saying excuse me to the table next to me to get by and I physically touched them, I don’t think that’s 6 feet apart 🤷🏾♀️.
