60th Birthday Party Catering featuring Mobile Raw Bar

“We celebrated my daughter Andie’s 21st birthday at the Terrace Tavern and couldn’t have picked a better spot! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect for a fun and memorable night, and the service was absolutely on point. Toby and her staff were amazing from start to finish—so friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They truly made the celebration feel special. Highly recommend for any occasion!” – Jen M.

TERRACE TAVERN

They truly made the celebration feel special

“For my 60th birthday and retirement celebration, my husband and I wanted something truly special, and Ascend LBI Catering Service delivered beyond all expectations. Toby, the talented owner and operator of The Traveling Tavern, created an unforgettable experience right at our home in LBI. Everything was turnkey—Toby handled every detail, from the unique specialty cocktails crafted just for me to a menu tailored to our wishes. The setup was seamless, and her attention to detail meant I didn’t have to lift a finger: no stress about bar arrangements, no scrambling for bartenders, and not even a worry about melting ice.
Having hosted many events over the years, I can honestly say this experience was the most impressive and effortless. Toby’s professionalism and creativity made it possible for us to truly relax and enjoy the celebration with our friends and family. If you are planning a party, wedding, or any special event, I highly, highly recommend Ascend LBI and The Traveling Tavern. You will get a personalized, memorable, and absolutely stress-free experience!” – Maria C.
