PHENOMENAL food! We ordered the Lobster Trio and Filet with crispy shrimp and loved every bite! We sat outside, the acoustic music by a live performer was great, the tables next to the bar were NOT comfortable however. Definitely will be back (just won't sit in the same area).

Most people indicate that this their favorite restaurant in the Cape May area. It's easy to see why!

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner. They had champagne on the table when we arrived~it was very thoughtful. Thank you for a nice night.

Absolutely the loudest restaurant I've been to in awhile. We had a reservation for 4:30 when they opened at 4. We had to wait in the bar until we were texted after 4:30 once we sat down the amount of noise coming from the staff moving tables and chairs was ridiculous. Just pulling things across the floor. That should have been done while we waited in the bar. Then once guests started to fill in the noise level got worse and worse to the point u could not have a conversation and couldn't hear the waiter. Definitely not the kind of ambiance they should strive for. Like a hooters during the Super Bowl. Which by the way was how the staff females were dressed or should I say barely dressed. The food was mediocre and certainly not good enough to put up with that

Secondo has the perfect ambiance. The service and food was outstanding from the drinks to the apps, entrees and desserts. The menu selection has a unique flare that sets this restaurant apart from others in the area. We were able to enjoy each part of our dining experience and cant wait to go back again.

Secondo is Stinko. We did not like anything about this very popular place. Tables are crammed together, the one hostess is not warm or friendly, the black & white decor is trendy but leaves a lot to be desired, the lack of upholstered chairs, window treatments, carpeting makes for a very loud, noisy atmosphere. The windows should be covered since they don't look like they've been washed/cleaned since 1978. That was my view the entire 1.5 hours and it drove me wild. Not a good look. There are dozens of large flies whirling around the interior constantly-one landing in my husband's water glass and he didn't realize it-he almost drank it. He pointed it out to the server who looked at the glass laughed then walked away. Our server never cleared it from our table. We had to look at it until we left. Disgusting, unsanitary and unprofessional. My stuffed flounder dish was a dud. It was overcooked, hard and tasteless-I have a feeling it was a pre-made frozen entree purchased from their food service. My husband had the Bronzini-they deep fried the entire fish-including the head and tail. Half was inedible. The zucchini appetizer were squished pieces of zucchini deep fried-the only redeeming quality was the tzatziki sauce to smother them in. If you love overcrowded, loud, overpriced inferior food this place is your destiny. We loved the Blue Claw that once was an establishment at this location. This is NOTHING like the classy, fine dining experience we would enjoy at the Jersey Shore. They made sure they decimated any remnants of those glory days.

Delicious dinner as always! One of our favorites! Can't wait until we can sit outside again.

Having eaten at Secundo several times before, I expected good food and service. As usual, they delivered. Sadly, the experience completely fell apart due to the excessive noise level. Normal conversation was impossible. At times, it was almost painful. I would hesitate to return as it ruined what should have been a great meal.

Our server Tatia was terrific . The crispy salmon and seafood spaghetti was delicious! Love the food.
Very uncomfortable. Bar seats have no back. Dining room seats are hard chairs. Food just ok. Its not beautiful in there. Looks like a cafeteria. I don't want to go back. Waiter Tom was excellent.

My party and I were at Secondo on Easter Sunday. One member of the party ordered an ice tea. When she lifted the glass the bottom of the glass broke right off spilling all the tea over her cream blouse and slacks. The server got some towels for her and apologized but nothing more was done to show his concern for the diner. We were very disappointed that no consideration was offered for her. We will not be returning to Secondo and would not recommend it to others.

Amelia was an excellent waitress. Impressive that she knew all the many specials. She was attentive and pleasant.
Melissa
Food was below expectations. I got the lobster trio. Lobster was tuff, lobster cake had no flavor & the 2 ravioli were cold. My husband had the spicy crab pasta & it was not good. Overall the food was just not great. Disappointed as I selected this spot for our anniversary dinner. Not sure id try again.

Secondo was amazing as always. It was a little loud in bar area with DJ music but it was girls night so understood! I do prefer the live music you often have more!!!
