For starters, you can't beat the view! We were seated in the rooftop area, and it was perfect. The hostess and servers were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious. We shared a drunken clam appetizer and a salad with crab and lobster. Perfect! I had the lemon crush - very refreshing and very lemony! We also loved the musician who was playing a lot of Jimmy Buffett tunes.
Was very excited to eat at Harry's restaurant on vacation in Cape May, NJ. The atmosphere was great with live music upstairs, and a very cool location right on beach avenue. I was upset when we got seated bc we were not in a good location of the restaurant (totally my fault and I should have asked to be seated in a better spot), flys were flying around everywhere at our table. The calamari was not very good at all, but not sure if we just got a bad batch or it was what it typically tasted like, because it was my first time there. Food was average, service was not very good either, had to ask for refills, not very attentive and not very friendly. The server seemed like she did not want to be there, and it made it hard to enjoy the place. Most likely will not be back for food, but definitely think the rooftop bar with live music was cool and our mixed drinks were good.
We experienced two fire alarms within a half an hour of each other. When our food came out, both steaks were raw. We left and will never return. The hostess was beyond rude demanding that we get out when she could've just asked nicely. 
This was probably the best restaurant we ate at in Cape May! The food & drinks were great - my husband said they have the best Mahi Mahi tacos he's ever had. Would definitely eat here again!
What we did end up getting as good, but I would thing you would try and have breakfast or brunch especially in a Sunday until afternoon. We came for breakfast or brunch and had a few drinks and left.
Really nice ambiance albeit a little noisy. Our table manager was very accommodating and courteous. The food could be better though. Portion sizes were about sufficient (we aren't big eaters!). Though it was very crowded, we didn't have to wait for our table, although we arrived 15 minutes early. The first floor was quite booked and with live music and a cheering crowd we found it too noisy. So we went to the rooftop and found a nice breezy table. Overall, a memorable experience.
We had a very sweet and warm waitress, with a great table location on the patio. Very enjoyable meals by all, smash burgers and Nashville hot chicken sandwiches were big hit!!!
Truly horrible experience. Food was bad. Service was bad. Swarmed by flies. Noisy. Hostess had no interest in reseating us. Won't return.
Loves the atmosphere and service. Food was sub par for the price it could've been a little better. Steak frites my husband order was actually a full steak not steak frites. I got the salmon which was good but sauce didn't have much flavor.
Very good food and service. Having an employee painting railings near where we were eating was smelly and annoying. And having an unusable ladies room was unacceptable as well.

The ambiance was amazing. The chicken sandwich was excellent; however, the fish tacos had a strong taste. Soup was amazing- clam chowder.
Great evening with friendly staff and good overall service. Food and cocktails were stellar! We'll be back. Thanks, James and Team
The food was okay. Our server was wonderful! Very attentive and personable. Live music was so loud that you couldn't hear the person sitting next to you.
This is my 4th time here and I have to say very disappointing. Drinks were good but food was ok not great no flavor, bar was sticky like they hadn't cleaned it floor was even sticky. Not sure I would return again and it's a shame because the other 3 times I was here it was very good.
Our party of 6 was never seated. Why have reservations when you are unable to be seated. We arrived early and waited at least 1 1/2 hours. Eventually we had to leave because of the poor planning and handling of reservations at Harry's.
