We would highly recommend Sunset Seafood. Bridget is always very welcoming and the staff are very pleasant and efficient. The lobster ravioli never disappoints and is the best around. I love that the food is served piping hot as well. We are thrilled that they are open for the season and will visit often.

The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. The crab cake sandwich, in particular, was outstanding! I’m definitely planning to visit again.

The best food and service I've ever had. The appetizers, the main course, dessert and even the coffee, was perfect. I've been there twice and the second meal was just as excellent.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Sunset Seafood. We enjoyed our meals immensely and our server was excellent. I had the shrimp and scallop platter and my husband had the seafood platter. We like that this restaurant is BYOB and has a beautiful view. We will definitely return.

My daughter held her wedding at Sunset Seafood in Tuckerton last weekend. All the food was delicious and presentation was beautiful. We can't say enough good things about the professional and friendly service of Brigid and her staff.

My search is over. I have been trying different restaurants to go to by boat and I don’t need to look any further. This place is perfect; the food, the view, the staff, everything. It has a nice dock and is easy to get to by boat.

We had a great meal. Food was outstanding and service was very good. Great views of the bay from this second story restaurant. My wife had the scallop special and I had the halibut special, both were excellent.
