our server, jennifer, was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, efficient and one of the best servers i ever had. Sean, the manager and sommelier was so knowledgeable about wine and gave us great a recommendation on an exquisite bottle of wine, which paired perfectly with our dinner. this restaurant surpassed our expectations
My son was married there on Oct 25. It was the most beautiful revue and the weather was perfect. I want to thank our waiter, I believe his name was Chris (sorry if I'm wrong) but he was fantastic. My husband has gluten issues. He went thru every item on the menu to explain what were the ingredients. Actually all but 2 items had gluten but they could modify them. I can't say enough good things about this place. Bravo to your staff!!!
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.

Their bartender served up our signature drinks...read full review

Peter Shields Inn & Restaurant offers a beautiful setting, with some minor issues like lack of air circulation on the porch. The service can be sparse but decent, with food delivery being a bit disconnected. The food portions are generous, with the filet being a bit overcooked, but the sticky toffee pudding stands out as a must-try dessert. The overall dining experience is rated highly, especially during Restaurant Week where the pre fixe menu offers good value.
The restaurant provides an exquisite experience from start to finish. The beef with foie gras add-on is very satisfying, and the appetizers and desserts are perfection. The ambiance is relaxing and elegant, making for a great meal and experience. The venue is gorgeous, especially with spectacular fall decorations outside. The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and works well together, creating a smooth and attentive service. A pianist enhances the atmosphere, taking requests via text and playing many favorite songs, including a wedding song, which adds to the special occasion feeling. The food is top notch, with delicious options like the cavatelli, short rib special, and fresh tomato salad. The wine list is well-curated and reasonably priced, with only a $40 corkage fee for two bottles. The peanut butter and jelly dessert is insanely good, offering wonderful flavors. Overall, Peter Shields Inn & Restaurant is one of Cape May’s finest dining experiences, with exceptional, refined, and flavorful food that is beautifully plated.
