Nice mom and Papa place. Food is very good and similar to your own home cooking. Not a big place, but it is comfortable once you sit down. We ordered fish and lamb chops. They were delicious and we will certainly come back next time.

This unassuming fine dining restaurant served course after course of delicious soup (crab and corn chowder), salad (warm Goat Cheese salad with house dressing) and entree (salmon and grouper - both were delicious). Service was attentive, friendly and thoughtful. Our server, Coleen pictured below, was helpful with recommendations. The cozy unassuming atmosphere, with BYOB (no corking fee), and comfortable seating rounded out the experience.

Paid $42 for instant garlic & herb mashed potatoes. Can’t mistake the taste and texture for anything else. Everything else was decent. Friendly staff.

If you really like to pay premium prices for frozen fish and veggies, this is your place. The food is a fusion of nursing home and cafeteria food. They served freezer-burned tilapia as "sea bass." Skip this place if your taste buds function. There are many other restaurant choices in Cape May that actually serve fresh fish.

Everything was great, other than the hostess. She made us feel like we were unwelcome and was hostile when 2 of our guests were 5 minutes late. I would not return due to the unfriendly treatment.

By no means is this a fancy, romantic spot. It has tons of charm with its cozy, hole in the wall surroundings. Food and service are outstanding!

We have dinner at Backstreet Cafe a few times every summer when we visit Cape May. Always a great experience. Friendly service, nice ambience and simply delicious fresh food... So what else do you need to come back again and again? Thank you Backstreet Cafe...

For a small place off the beaten path this is an amazing place we always stop for dinner when in town. Food is always amazing with new specials weekly. Waitresses are personable and friendly to no ends.

Simply THE best food in Cape May! Each dish is perfectly prepared with fresh, local ingredients and quite simply delicious! Every bite is melt -in-your-mouth flavor. House made breads and in house desserts as well. We had Sea Bass and Grouper entrees. Stunning. And the tiramisu is to die for! Hits in every single flavor note. ❤️
