Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Long Beach Island

The fall/winter pre fixe menu in my opinion is absolutely perfect! Elevated yet comfort food. The French onion soup is no crock of French onion soup. It is more of a meal. The soup had three pieces of short rib and the toast had slices of (I think) Brie! Almost like a cross between beouf Bourgogne and French onion soup. A must is the Bosc pear tarte tatin for dessert. The butterscotch sauce was perfection. For mains we had the grilled pork chop and the chicken breast. Both had wonderful seasonal preparations and were miraculously moist! Service was perfect and the owners stop by every table and are so friendly! A really special place!

Food, service and drinks are consistently great! The sushi is fresh, well prepared and delicious.

Carmine's is an excellent place for that group family friends get-together or an intimate dinner with loved ones. We celebrated our anniversary and they gave us a nice ice cream waffle for dessert - such a surprise. Our waiter was wonderful!

Excellent food, excellent service. The tables were very close together. Our table of 4 was too close to the table of 2 next to us. Very uncomfortable.

It was our first time here and it won’t be the last. The food was fresh and delicious. John our server was attentive and always very pleasant and friendly. Looking forward to many more meals at Stefano’s.
