Yellowfin - Surf City

The signature dish, No1 Yellowfin Rare seared tuna slices, is a standout since 1997. It is served over Yukon potatoes with Wasabi, flash fried Bok Choy, and a drizzle of miso vinaigrette. Another favorite is the pan-seared Halibut with sticky rice, garlic braided Yucca, and a lemon preserve demi glaze. The panko crusted peas Fried green tomatoes with guacamole and lobster-Jumbo lumpen crab salad is also a must-try. The restaurant has an upscale ambiance, with white tablecloths and experienced servers who are knowledgeable about the menu. Reservations are essential, especially during high season. The interior is elegantly decorated in grey tones with mirrors to enhance the visual space. It is a smaller venue, suitable for intimate gatherings or romantic dinners. Yellowfin is a place to enjoy with adult friends or a significant other, rather than with children or for a quick meal after the beach. The prices reflect the quality of the food, with appetizers ranging from $16-$28 and entrees from $28-$75. It is a worthwhile dining experience that is reminiscent of a Manhattan hotspot in Soho or the Upper West Side.

I had another fantastic experience at Yellowfin! Jackie and Blake, as always, provided excellent service. It's a great way to kick off the season. I've been coming here for 10 years and it's still the best restaurant on Long Beach Island!

This place is amazing, you won't be disappointed. Having worked and eaten in fine restaurants on and off the Jersey Shore, I can confidently say that this place ranks among the best. The Tunas Tar Tar and Halibut were both delicious. The banana chocolate dessert was incredibly good, even for someone like me who isn't a fan of coconut. It had a light aftertaste that was just right. This dessert was one of the best I've ever had, and the service was also great. Overall, this restaurant is solid with its own unique charm, and you won't find a better meal on the island.

The food is absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable. My halibut was cooked for perfection and the Yucca has a better taste then any normal potato. Will absolutely return

A family favorite since the year it opened, the yellow fin is a defining part of family tradition. The food is top notch, one of the best meals you will have on the island hands down. Bring a good bottle and know you'll be eating well from start to finish, the desserts are superb.
