Excellent!!! Best dinner in Cape May. The fish and steaks are outstanding and perfectly prepared. The location is also magical, right on the beach, with ocean views from every angle.

I was here in 2023 and thought the NY Strip was the best I ever had, and believe me I know my steaks. When I’m not dining out at the top steakhouses, I’m smoking finely marbled beauties at home at low heat, and finishing at high heat (aka reverse sear) and always get highest compliments from guests. I finally came back to Primal last week and I was disappointed. I don’t recall if in 2023 the NY Strip was Certified Angus Beef, or USDA Prime, but I generally feel that CAB is inferior or unpredictable at best. The beef I had at Primal last week, billed as CAB, tasted like USDA Choice to me. It was a very “average” steak in my opinion. I literally said to my wife, I don’t need to ever come here again. The location being directly on the beach, is a competitive advantage in Cape May for sure, but not worth Primal’s prices, and for what my discerning tastebuds crave.

Smells amazing as you walk in the door and the ambience is super inviting. The food was absolutely delicious we had the filet and tail, both of which were cooked to perfection. I have been there a few times prior and tried the tomahawk and the halibut, which were also really really good. Servers were attentive and engaged with us…all in all it was a great dining experience!! Hope you all have the same experience we did. Of course we will be back!

I was there last Saturday and it is my favorite restaurant in Cape May! By far the best steaks in the area! The Tuna Tartare appetizer was excellent as well as everything we had. Great atmosphere and our waiter Trey was very attentive and friendly. Will be back soon!

PRIMAL in Cape May offers an exceptional dining experience! . As a first-time visitor during the off-season, I was truly impressed by both the outstanding service and the remarkable food. Chef Mia and her team deliver on quality, quantity, and value.
The meal started with complimentary fresh-made bread, followed by a delightful house salad. The main courses—filet, halibut, and a lobster/scallop appetizer in the shallot cream sauce—were all flavorful and cooked to perfection. And the Truffle Yukon mashed potatoes? Simply the best I’ve ever had. Dessert was a tower of homemade cookies surrounded by fresh fruit and decadent vanilla icing.
PRIMAL is a standout gem in Cape May, offering an unforgettable dining experience that combines exceptional service, expertly crafted dishes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or visiting during the off-season, this restaurant is a must-try. Chef Mia and her team have truly set the bar high—an experience worth savoring from start to finish!

Great service, great food. Steaks cooked to order, side and appetizer awesome. Desert included. Made a reservation and was seated right on time. No wait. Spent about $200 (2 persons)with tip. Money well spent.
Parking: Cape May is a year round town. Weekend street parking may be a challenge.
10/10 everything was amazing , best steak of my life ! Our server Chris was a delight. Will be traveling back from Delaware !
