“Easy 5 stars, maybe 6. Shayna was the HIGHLIGHT of our evening. Her spiel was perfect, timing was impeccable, she was interested in what we had to say and had all the answers to our questions. Top notch server! Would HIGHLY recommend to request her as your server. Also, Ian was a super nice young gentleman who has a quick eye, polite demeanor, and takes the lead when the need is seen. Had tuna tartare, which was 10/10 until the amuse boosh arrived, on the house, and was exceptionally exquisite. Finished with short rib and fosters which were both outta this world. Will be dining here again!!“

“I really don't leave reviews very often, but this was one of the best meals I have ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. Every single thing we had was incredible; the calamari was the best I’ve ever had, and the seafood risotto and homemade key lime pie was to die for. I would come here every single time I come to Cape May from now on. Our server, Dajan, was excellent as well and was extremely professional. My girlfriend and I couldn’t celebrate together for Valentine’s Day because I had covid, so today was the day we could finally celebrate together down at the shore and it was perfect. 10/10 would recommend.“

“We had an amazing dinner at Grana BYOB! This was our first time dining here and I highly recommend it if looking for a fine dining experience in Cape May. Lots of fantastic and unique options like the wagyu meatballs, wagyu meatloaf, and a variety of small plate pastas. The entrees were plentiful portion sizes. Lots of dessert choices…the crème brûlée was perfect, as well as the blackberry sorbet. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Delicious food from burgers to more elaborate dishes. We had the crab-topped salmon special ($36) and grilled salmon ($28), it was excellent. The special was enough of a portion for 2 people. The drinks were nicely prepared with a beach-like presentation - about $12/each. While it's not inexpensive, the quality the food was excellent.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with healthy options including fresh vegetables.“

We had a four course dinner with a few choices for each course and were blown away with how good everything was. Our waitress was so sweet and pleasant and the restaurant was cozy and beautifull. Great way to start off the New Year!“

“Went to the landmark C-View Inn for their Wednesday Wing Night. Got there right before the rush. Place was busy both at the bar and at the dining tables. Checked in and was seated 4 minutes later, server was all smiles. Got us our drinks and took our food order which of course were Wings. I believe they are .75¢ ea with a 10 wing minimum and a drink purchase. They came out hot and tasty approx 12 minutes later. Waitress was talkative and attentive. Overall a very tasty treat.“

“15Mar-As we were big fans of the previous occupant, The Merion Inn, while in town we decided to take a chance and try this new place.Called for an early dinner and greeted by a very friendly and humorous gentleman who set us up with a table just around the corner from the bar w/live music.Opened with wine and of course, a Bloody Mary.Excellent choices and the Bloody was mixed in house (no pre-mix), Big plus.It was a bit light with the add ons but made up for it in flavor.It was extra spicy and delicious.Highly recommended.Our entries included scallops with whipped sweet potatoes and green beans.I had the special, Halibut w/couscous in a cream sauce.We can't say enough about our meals.Both were absolutely outstanding as was the service.Big props to KellyShe helped make our dinner fun and after our long drive, it was a pleasure.We finished with their own cinnamon ice cream over apple cobbler.Again, excellent.A bit pricey but, worth every penny.Remembering you are a stone's throw from Cape Mays pristine beaches.Great service, great meal, great atmosphere.We will absolutely return.5 Solid StarsHighly recommended“

“My family and I stumbled upon this gem while visiting Cape May for our daughter’s Coast Guard training graduation. We enjoyed the oyster shooters, little neck clams, and smoked salmon. The shooters and the clams were so fresh and delicious. The smoked salmon… to die for! I was not expecting a smoked salmon steak. However, it was a welcomed and pleasant surprise. The house made mustard was great as well. Highly recommend!“
