“Love everything about this restaurant from views, service and of course food choices. Tonight we started off with the Lobster ravioli appetizer in a shallot sauce, followed by a house salad and then we split the filet and lobster tail. The quality of food is amazing and we always enjoy our meals at Primal!“

“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!“

“The bread was very delicious. It was the best bread in the whole world! My mom said the vegetable side was mostly shredded cabbage and not great. My mom felt a little silly wearing the lobster bib. I don't know why though. She looked great! My brother said the food was very good, but he did not finish his burger because it was so big. My father also enjoyed his lobster meal as well.

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.“

The clam strips were the best I have ever had in my life and the crab cakes were amazing. We can’t wait to come back next year.“
