We went there for dinner and sampled some of the freshest seafood possible. The place is bustling, open layout and super polite and engaging staff. Shout out to Elaine for helping us with enthusiasm.
Grilled octopus and Thai shrimp appetizers were excellent.
Elaine suggested California cabernet savignon and it was outstanding. Light and airy, subtle fruity taste
Scallops with corn risotto was cooked to perfection. So was chicken milanese and short ribs.
We ate it all, it was so good.yum
Pineapple upside down cheesecake to finish the dinner and we were so pleased we went back for breakfast.

Next morning breakfast was again outstanding
We had yogurt parfait and crab cake sandwich. Scones and burger
So good

I want to thank the Pier House for accommodating our large party, their great service, and consistently delicious food. This is a place our family frequents when in Cape May and we are never disappointed. We enjoyed a lovely meal with craft cocktails, live music, and overall outstanding service by Sara and Klara. Thank you again for another wonderful evening!

We had a lovely meal at The Pier House and came away impressed by the freshness and care that went into the dishes. The highlight of the evening was definitely the pork chops—tender, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. And the miso marinated salmon was just a pure work of art!

The crab cake was the one dish that didn’t quite hit the mark for me; it was a little on the dry side and could have used a bit more flavor to really shine. Still, I would say it was good, and everything else more than made up for it.

Dessert was a high note. The crème brûlée had the ideal balance of creamy custard and crackly caramelized top, while the raspberry ice cream was bright, refreshing, and a perfect finish to the evening.

The environment was elegant yet relaxing and welcoming, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy ourselves. The staff were friendly and attentive, quick to clear plates without being intrusive.

Overall, The Pier House gave us a meal we thoroughly enjoyed—fresh ingredients, warm hospitality, and a few truly standout moments. We’d be happy to return.

Pier house is an absolute Gem! Went there for our last night on vacation for dinner and this place will def be a main stay for future trips. Delicious drinks, fun and well done service. And everything we ate was worth it. Would def recommend for a nice dress up dinner and I will 100% return as a customer!!

Love the Pier House! Beautiful, clean restaurant. The Terrace is so nice. Salmon was delicious and the service was great. My only suggestion would be to find a way to cut down on the noise where the servers bus the dishes on The Terrace ( it takes away from the ambience). We have been going to the Pier House for many years and have never had a bad experience.

We enjoyed dinner, cocktails and brunch at the Pier House and all were absolutely amazing! We were in town for our son’s Coast Guard Bootcamp graduation and it was a perfect place to celebrate with him. My parents couldn’t stop raving about the strawberry salad and my husband said the scallops were the best he ever had. Thank you!

Flies, lots and lots of flies- inside the restaurant. Super gross!!!!!! Server was so slow and never filled our water or coffee, even when asked for a refill. Food was overcooked. This was really disappointing, especially that we were out to celebrate my mom's birthday.
