“Took my grandson who loves steak there for his 10th birthday. He got the New York strip, I had the filet. Both were excellent. He told me in his 9 years 364 days that was the best steak he ever had. What a great evening.”

“I absolutely recommend Peter Shields Inn for a wedding venue. We had a small wedding on the beach and our wedding dinner was handled by Peter Shields. We worked with Amy (their event coordinator) and she was so helpful in every way. She went above and beyond to make everything so easy for us. I literally handed them a box of our wedding decorations and the tables and everything was set up perfectly! I didn’t have to lift a finger. Their bartender served up our signature drinks with a smile. Our guitarist serenaded guests on the porch while they enjoyed cocktails and wonderful hors doeurves. Dinner was seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had. Perfection hands down!”

“Recent Trip to Maison Bleue at The Hugh B&B in Cape May did not disappoint! Shout out to Dorothy Birchall Shuman and her support staff for the excellent service. Russ Wheeler and the back of the house killed it! I love French cuisine and was really looking forward to this one for my Birthday ?.
Duck appetizer was a hit. The Humboldt Fog cheese was amazing. Next moving on the the escargot ? over the puff pastry. I have never had it prepared like this before and I don’t think I want it any other way now. So delicious. The baked oysters with leek fondue and caviar were probably my personal favorite. I could probably eat a dozen of them. So creamy and delicious. The steak and scallops with the Cafe de Paris sauce that was “plucked” out of France ?? by the owners was to die for. I could put this sauce on anything. So rich. The apple birthday dessert and the Crème Brûlée were both very good but I would have to say it was the best Crème Brûlée I’ve ever had. So satisfying cracking the sugar shell on top.
Once again highly recommended from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Was sat inside but they also have a nice porch with comfy chairs and couches that looks onto Washington Street and even has overhead heaters for the colder months. The inside dining was extraordinary. The French music mix along with the lighting definitely set the tone for the evening. I felt like I was in Lyon but only 15 minutes away from my doorstep. 10/10 experience, will be back!”
“Enjoyed The Y.B. during restaurant week. Was our first time and we will be back. Everything was fresh and well presented. The service was excellent. I’ve probably walked past this little gem a hundred times and never stopped in for a meal. I’m just sorry I didn’t try it sooner! Thanks for an excellent meal! We can’t wait to come back! Cheers!”
“Yozu is a really great Japanese restaurant. Unlike most other restaurants in the area they stay open beyond 8:00 PM and gladly served me at 8:45 PM. Their salmon teriyaki and Long Island Rolls are great. The prices are reasonable and they offer hibachi. I’ll be back here when I come back to Cape May for vacation in the summertime.”
“Excellent pizza! I have been in cape may a lot this is the best pizza I have found! My family’s go to for pizza!”
“Came here with some friends and family on a Monday night for some drinks and appetizers. The atmosphere is great and has a classic cocktail bar feel. We first had the Cosmo from the menu which was just okay, but after I had 2 delicious dirty martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives. A member of my party ordered a regular Cosmo after and was still disappointed. Cointreau is a must for Cosmos, and a place like this shouldn’t be substituting! We also shared the charcuterie board, pigs in a blanket, crab dip, ahi tun, and some oysters. Everything was very tasty! Would visit again.”
“Fresh and interesting menu. Everything we had was perfect. Smoked salmon and noodle aps were both great starters to share. Scallops, crab cakes, swordfish entrees were delicious. The desserts were lovely and generous portions. Not surprised to hear that this is a perennial favorite for many regulars.”
“Was hesitant to try this place because of the lower star reviews but we thought it was delicious! The veggie pizza was so delicious- with a thin crispy crust. Also tried the buffalo slice and it was good! We’d visit again!”
“We love love love Panico's! We use to always go to Sapore but Sapore has gone down hill since new ownership. We love how Panico's doesn't rush you, and you can take your time. The food is also great, I recommend either the 3 cheese chicken or the rigatoni vodka and ask for the chicken breaded! It is also nice that it's a BYOB, so it is inexpensive. If you're looking for good Italian food in Cape May, please go here and AVOID at all costs Andrea Trattoria. 10/10!”
“If you can’t decide if you want Mexican food or lots of seafood like you would expect from a shore town restaurant, eat at 5 De Mayo. You can get both. Great salsa. Good scallops and shrimp. Great fajitas. Great enchiladas.”
“Absolutely delicious! We stayed at La Mer and were very impressed by the food and staff. I wish I could’ve tried everything on the menu. I had the following: Octopus appetizer Avocado Toast Rigatoni Cape May eggs Benedict All fresh and delicious!!!”
“We love this bar!�buy a shirt or hat and join the kool peeps club��”

“The food was amazing. My taste buds were thanking me for hours! I tasted the sesame-chili chicken slider, ginger-scallion lobster slider, sweet and sour duck slider, pineapple-chili aioli shrimp slider, and finally the soy-braised short ribs slider. Each slider has such a delicious, unique taste. My favorite was the sweet and sour duck. It tasted like candy, it had a nostalgic taste to it. The coconut rice pudding with mango and the 5-spice donuts were the best desserts I’ve had in a while. Their customer service was excellent. I can’t wait to come back!”
“awesome place, great beer, located basically on the Cape May bike path, super relaxing atmosphere, outside is awesome.”
“This place has the best grilled cheese and fantastic customer service! My boyfriend goes every year and I finally got the chance to this year. His favorite is the chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese and the day we went they had a smash burger grilled cheese as a special that I got. Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend for anyone in town!”
“Uncle bills is a friendly clean place. I’ve been going to the wildwood one for years!! When they close I come to cape may!’ Great food..”
“So if you know this product you know it's outstanding. We were on vacation and this was a specific destination. I always chose a cone and my husband 3 out of 4 times also chose a cone. I went for vanilla and chocolate swirl 50% of the time. This last visit was our fourth visit and I wanted to go one more time before leaving our vacation.
A 100% worth The Visit. And lower calorie too.”
“The worker was so nice. She showed us ingredients and was "invested" in us. She even treated us well. Service was LOVELY! Definitely recommend. The food itself was soo good. I mean, for the price, this kills. I really loved it. SO MUCH! I just wished this was in my location. Thank you for this pleasant memory.
Vegetarian options: Limited options.
Kid-friendliness: Worker was sweet.”
“Great food and a beautiful setting to enjoy it!!!”
“Love this place! It’s must when we are in Cape May”
“Our first time popping in while working today and I must say we will certainly be back! The staff were so friendly and welcoming and their menu had a lot to offer. Not only that, but their food did not disappoint! Small place, but very worth your time!”
“Fabulous soft serve ice cream and a board full of flavors of hard ice cream. Always great flavors, always fresh and the nicest people serving.
Highly recommend.”
“Great wine tasting- make reservations. Also a big tapas menu. Try the octopus and the flatbreads.”
“The best crab cakes we’ve ever had! Fresh bread, just absolutely beautiful. We had wonderful time with our family❤️”
“I am allergic to nuts. The staff here always goes out of their way to accommodate me and my allergy issues. I really appreciate them for that. And, the ice cream is great! So if you have allergies like me, this is your go to place!”
“Simply the best grilled burgers, breakfast sandwiches and cheesesteaks in cape may. Hidden gem and the owner is a great guy who truly cares about his craft. 10/10 cheesesteak. This is a MUST GO.”
“The wait staff needs to get their act together, always miserable & rude.”

“Don’t miss this great addition to your morning walk on the beach..before or after. Really good coffee, friendly staff, bright, cheery atmosphere. My new go to coffee shop when I am in town!”
“Food has been better than it has been in the past which makes it way more enjoyable. Last year I went and it was all melted when they handed it to me, but this year it was amazing. The service was okay, they really just ask us what we want and that’s it so. The spot to sit it pretty cool, choices of umbrellas to sit under.”
“A must do experience while in Cape May. It’s such a beautiful place to see the sunset”
“A friendly bartended is a good find; a friendly bartender who can make an expert cocktail is a great find. King Edward Bar delivers.”
“Are first time very good now I can see why you are so busy will be planting on my social media and tell everyone to go n get breakfast there”
“Visited cape May roasters on a trip down the shore. The smell draws you in and the taste is even better. What I’m here to review is the service... which is truly some of the best customer service I received in a long time from the time we walked in to the time we checked out. I am now a new loyal customer and will be buying my beans from them consistently, if you’re in the area check them out! And if you’re not local they do ship”

“Great food and the best coffee made by Chis. Can’t wait to come back and visit”
“I ordered a veggie burger & sweet potato fries, pretty much my go-to at a pizza place. It was tasty but better than anywhere else because of the experience. I saw you give away food to someone in need, I saw you show compassion & kindness. I will support this business in the future! “On the way to Cape May” ❤️”
“"Cafe Nutella" , 713 Beach Ave., Cape May, NJ 08204, across the Convention Hall. Excellent Mediterranean Food you will not find anywhere in Cape May. Maybe you don't know that Cafe Nutella has a new owner and a new Restaurant. Master Chef Ahmed is an excellent cook, his specialty is Mediterranean Cuisine. I ate Oax Tail Tajine, Moroccan Specialty: Giant beef Oax Tail simmered for hours in house made j*** sauce, dried apricot topped with crispy onions. I also ate an Avocado Salad: Rich, creamy avocados, vibrant tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onions, and a fresh herb dressing. I can strongly recommend this Restaurant with all my heart; Ahmed, the Master Chef prepared the food with passion and a lot of knowledge. Very tasty, I had a great time., Ali”

“Freshly made, quality food. Fried oysters were huge and cooked to perfection. Great choice!”
“Wow, fantastic. Perfect temperature of roll versus filling, on the classic roll. Perfect amount of light mayo, with what seems like a house combination of celery seed and some sparing big pretzel salt crystals…. Just perfect munching overlooking the boardwalk, dunes and ocean in Ocean City boardwalk. And the lobster bisque was excellent. With the jumbo sized option on the classic rolls, there was lobster falling out of the sandwich before we could even pick it up. Just excellent.”
“Dario is the best. Love your White Russian friends”
“One of my favorite things about this place is the small simple menu! I have to favorite hear and an honorable mention. Number 1, the delicious fried scallops! They're a must try. Number 2, the Burger is absolutely perfected, easily in my top 3 burgers. Third is the smoked fish dip for an appetizer(ask for some crackers on the side).”

Right along the water...it was fairly crowded for mid November but it was a beautiful day.....the shrimp platter never disappoints!”

“Great casual restaurant at the beach. Nice view, good food and friendly efficient servers. Don't forget your wallet, as cash only, but there they do have an ATM.”
“We love James at the front of the house and the super talented chefs - such a unique and fun experience. Three of us had the vegetarian tasting menu and it was amazing! I wish there were more restaurants like this! Thank you!”
“The owner is a local teacher during the year and a crepe maker in the summer. The crepes are made before your eyes and the fruit is freshly cut. The smoothies and drinks are also delicious. He puts a lot of topping in one crepe. This is our go to for breakfast, brunch or breakfast for linner. Consistently delicious and made by a really nice guy. We are usually first on line Opening Day and make many crepe stops throughout the season. We’ve been in Cape May more than 30 years and recommend CHILL as among the best in Cape May. Not a tourist trap. ; )”

“Pretty good pub fare with decent prices. Sometimes a little too crowded & loud for my liking,but most won't mind that.
They know how to make two of my fave casual meals: a Reuben and Fish & Chips, both of which in other places manage to be soggy rather than toasted or fried to crispy perfection.”
“Second time here. Their bread is always excellent. This time we started with a charcuterie board that had some delicious ham. I had the special pasta - again. 4 cheese tortellini in a cream sauce. Yummy, just as I remembered. They didn’t have the bolognese, so my hubs had the spaghetti and meatballs. It was good. BYOB. As the weather was cooler & it was very breezy that day we decided to eat inside. It’s a small restaurant and if anyone has a loud voice, it carry’s. Outside is nice for people watching. We will be back!”
