I found this place last summer and realized it’s the best spot at the shore. Any chance I got on my night off I went to dinner here with my wife. We both love it.

I’d consider myself a foodie—I’ve dined at some of the best restaurants in New York City—and this place is an absolute must when you’re in Cape May.
