We have been going to Black Eyed Susans since it first opened on the other side of the street many…read moreyears ago. At that point it was a small restaurant, BYOB, but it was immediately apparent that real gourmet food had finally arrived on LBI. (I still remember their version of shrimp and grits from that time.) We no longer had to put up with the prevailing surf and turf that we had unfortunately become accustomed to. Since then they've moved to their current, much bigger space and have created a beautiful, vibrant, inside-ourside restaurant that still serves excellent food (their lumache is terrific--we try not to order it every time) and has expanded to include pizzas--thin crust and very tasty; every one we've tried has been delicious. So we would definitely recommend Black Eyed Susans. The staff is welcoming, friendly, well trained. This is now a big, beautiful destination restaurant. The pizzas and beer lower the price point.

This was very relaxing and I truly felt like I was transported to a resort. They do a great job of creating a little outdoor oasis. Once we were seated, we literally wanted to order the entire menu. Everything sounded outstanding that it was hard to choose. We settled on the seared tuna and a pizza as our apps. We also did indulge in an order of homemade sourdough because when in Rome! The pizza was by far my favorite. The crust was so thin and so crispy. You could tell all the ingredients were very fresh and the dough was perfect. For our mains, my fiancé had the swordfish special and I went with a crab cake. I love that I was able to get a single order instead of a double. It was the perfect amount of food after all the apps. We agreed the swordfish was outstanding. So moist and not dry whatsoever like it sometimes can be. The real highlight of the meals for me was the homemade soft serve. As a huge ice cream stan, this was the perfect ending to my meal.

We were told my wife had to order an entree. We asked if they could make the Octopus an entree size and price for her entree, and we were told "no". We asked if my wife could get both the Mussels app & Octopus app for her entree totaling $46, and we'd add the Caesar salad($18) to share as or app, we were told "no", and we planned to order a dessert($14) to share as well totaling $126 in food...wtf! So, we got up and left as they watched what would have been a $165 table of 2 after tax and tip walk out the door of an empty restaurant. We're year rounders, both have businesses on LBI, and we've supported Raimond's for the last 19 years, especially during the off season. NOT ANYMORE...DONE!

Jenny was our server and she took such great care of us. From providing menu recommendations to keeping the food flowing, she really added to our dining experience.

I couldn't finish my meal so now I have a nice portion of leftovers in the freezer when I have my pasta craving. Tiramisu dessert and a perfect cappuccino was also very good-- so much food and so good. We will definitely be back.
