    The place is truly beautiful. The service from Sam went over and above. The owner was so sweet. She made sure we got a tour of the gardens for next time. It also is a historical Inn. My husband and I enjoyed the many options on the set menu. The mussels, beet salad, halibut, pork chop were outstanding. Definitely if your in Beach Haven go for a romantic dinner!!

    My wife and I were joined by another couple and we all agreed that our Birdy’s at Dusk Supper Club experience was outstanding! The food was delicious, the service was terrific and the atmosphere was wonderful. We met the very talented chef, Jimmy and the awesome Birdy’s owner, Amy. We will certainly be going back to Birdy’s for another supper club event very soon.

    This was our first time and they did not disappoint. Rue 561 is a fantastic restaurant and we had a great evening. The food was phenomenal and the service was top notch. It’s pricey but worth it. Ingredient quality and freshness reflects their dedication to the farm to table concept. Every dish was balanced, well presented, and, most importantly, delicious. Portion sizes were fair and we went home with leftovers. We’re looking forward to going again to try some more of their offerings.
