Yesterday’s Restaurant

I have to give this place 5 stars based primarily on their banquet facilities. I had my daughter sweet 16 here a few years ago and the manager went above and beyond to accommodate our every whim. We at first reserved two sections of the hall because are expected guest list was only 80. Well when we wound up with 120 without a second thought he gave us the entire Hall. Because it was a sweet 16 an open bar was not an option and I was having the cake made outside hso he took $ 5 off per person making our cost just 21.95 per person. we were able to choose 10 items off the menu which has changed since then. Everything that we chose was delicious. We had chicken francese, penne vodka, green beans, rice pilaf, salmon, pork and gravy, sausage peppers and onions, two different green salad, and potato puffs.
He allowed us to arrive several hours prior to decorate the hall. Because her colors were black and gold they alternated each place setting making it look very elegant. Since then we have used them several times for catered parties.
The restaurant seems like it’s from a different place all together. Their prime rib is quite good and there Clams Casino is one of our favorites in the area. I’m not a super fan of the restaurant area but we have frequented the bar for appetizers and drinks. They do have a limited beer selection and primarily cater to the usuals, Miller, bud, Coors. Other than that we visit yesterday’s restaurant several times throughout the year.

We attended a wedding reception last evening at Yesterday’s in Bayville. The venue was appropriately decorated and spacious. Space between the tables was comfortable enough for guests to move around the room — there was at least 100 guests in attendance. Adequate space for the DJ and dancing. Restrooms were clean and roomy. Ample parking lot. Location was easy to find and the building was well-​marked.
The food was pleasantly above average for a buffet — salad, pasta in vodka sauce, chicken marsala, meatballs, as well as a few more dishes that I didn’t have room on my plate for. Chicken was tender and tasted wonderful! Meatballs had just the right amount of spice and marinara. Vodka sauce was light and pasta was al dente. There was plenty of food to feed everyone — empty trays were quickly replaced with full ones, and many guests went back for second helpings.
There was no open bar provided at this particular wedding by the bridal party, but we were able to purchase drinks in the restaurant bar conveniently located right next to the banquet room and bring them back to our table. The bartender was friendly and accomodating, as was the entire wait staff.
I would recommend Yesterday’s to anyone looking for a local wedding or party venue. Overall, we had an enjoyable, positive experience.

Very good dinner and the salad bar included soup! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are good! I went on a Saturday night and they had live music in the bar area! I will be back for sure! The nachos are a must buy. they were awesome!!!

My husband and I went here yesterday for a late lunch. This is the first time we were here and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The food is very good, salad bar comes with your meal and the beers are cheap. Our server (who was also the bar tender) was very friendly and the service was great. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

Just came from Yesterday’s. We went for the Easter Sunday Brunch. We made reservations for 11am. We were promptly seated, but after about 15 minutes we had to asked to see a server. They had forgotten to assign us a server. It was all down hill from there. Once the sever came to the table it took 20 more minutes to get coffee and another 10 minutes after we received our coffee to get the creamer, thank God it was self serve for the food. The buffet lacked any sign letting you know what was under each lid, but it wasn’t hard once you went thur the line because there were only 7 containers to choose from. I am sorry we choose this place and will never return. I think for the price we paid more items should have been on the buffet and the staff needs to be more attentive.

This is one of those reliable weekend spots that you go to if you want a good meal but don’t feel like paying a neck and a shin. The food is very good and you have to like the fact that mussels marinara is in the salad bar. The italian food is very well made and the fried calamari is fantastic. There are better places to go in this area but you really can’t go wrong with this place. *weird note * hot chocolate is warmed up chocolate milk served in a coke cup

What is it?
A bar? yes!
A restaurant? yes!
A banquet hall? yes!
Somewhere to buy beer to go? Yes!
Can’t speak for the package store or the banquet hall… but I came in for lunch and the food was amazing! Service by two very nice ladies as I sat at the bar. They were great engaging with everyone sitting at the bar. I ate a buffalo chicken sandwich on the lunch menu. It was too spicy and the chicken was juicy. The fries were thick, crispy on the outside but light on the inside.
There’s a ton of options going down Rt 9 and this is a great place to stop.
