“Yesterday we went to Cape May Winery with a bachelorette party group. We had a great experience from booking, too ordering our wine and enjoying our time in the lower cellar room. Special shout out to the amazing table of guests next to us that included 3 married couples that each had been married for over 25 years. They stopped at our table to give our bride-to-be some amazing wedding and successful marriage advice. It was a really special visit and I am so glad we chose to come here! 💜“

“Yozu is a really great Japanese restaurant. Unlike most other restaurants in the area they stay open beyond 8:00 PM and gladly served me at 8:45 PM. Their salmon teriyaki and Long Island Rolls are great. The prices are reasonable and they offer hibachi. I’ll be back here when I come back to Cape May for vacation in the summertime.“

“Freshly made, quality food. Fried oysters were huge and cooked to perfection. Great choice!“

“Great food and the best coffee made by Chis. Can’t wait to come back and visit“

“Quincy’s Lobster Roll at Waterside Place: As someone who grew up in the Northeast and knows a thing or two about authentic New England-style lobster salad, I can confidently say that Quincy’s Lobster Roll at Waterside Place is absolutely delicious. The lobster was incredibly fresh, perfectly sweet, and generously portioned. The roll itself was just the right texture—soft and slightly toasted—and let the quality of the lobster shine. This was a true taste of home, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“When visiting Cape May this Christmas season, my fiancé and I went to Cold Spring Brewery to try it. We absolutely loved it! It is decorated for the holidays and cozy inside. We were thrilled to hear that our pup was allowed to be inside so we didn’t have to sit out in the cold with him. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They even gave our puppy a special treat. The beer was delicious. The tap room and bathrooms were clean. On Saturday, there was live music and it was so enjoyable. We loved our time at Cold Spring so much that we returned to the brewery on Sunday for the dog day afternoon special. It was so sweet. Unfortunately we observed a rude patron who complained about the dogs being present at the brewery (even though it is the designated dog day afternoon). If you don’t like to be around the pups, maybe Sunday afternoons aren’t for you. Everyone else at the brewery was kind and super friendly. Def recommend it here!“

“Tonight was our first time trying Panico’s. It will definitely not be our last. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you are in Cape May you have to try it. You will not be disappointed.“

“Great food, great time, and great service! Shannon is an awesome hostess. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Staying in Cape May for 5 weeks had my first cheese steak & I picked up a good one had it tonite ( 7/7/2025 being a Philly guy I know my steaks very good I highly recommend their sandwiches.“

“If you can’t decide if you want Mexican food or lots of seafood like you would expect from a shore town restaurant, eat at 5 De Mayo. You can get both. Great salsa. Good scallops and shrimp. Great fajitas. Great enchiladas.“

“Fresh and interesting menu. Everything we had was perfect. Smoked salmon and noodle aps were both great starters to share. Scallops, crab cakes, swordfish entrees were delicious. The desserts were lovely and generous portions. Not surprised to hear that this is a perennial favorite for many regulars.“

“If you’re looking for Cape May’s hottest subterranean hotspot, look no further than The Boiler Room. This place has everything: wood-fired pizza, Caesar salads that slap, neon lights, exposed brick, and a sound system that’ll knock your Birkenstocks off. And the staff? Honey. First, let’s talk about Matt, the food and beverage manager. He’s like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, pulling levers of flavor and hospitality. Ever had a martini that made you cry from joy? You will. Now add Johnny and Kyle behind the bar—Cape May’s dynamic duo. They pour, they shake, they stir, and they SERVE. Watching them in action is like seeing a choreographed dance, except everyone gets a drink at the end. Now let’s get into the pizza. This pizza? This pizza is like if Naples and Brooklyn had a baby that went to culinary school in Rome. It’s crispy, chewy, saucy perfection. And don’t even get me started on the Caesar salad—it’s crunchy, briny, creamy, and anchovy-whispered. I’d write it a love letter and send it first class. But that’s not all. When the sun goes down, this place transforms. The Boiler Room becomes an underground concert hall of dreams. The live bands? They funk, boogie, and rock ‘n’ roll like it’s their job (because it is). Think Parliament meets Tom Petty in a dance-off judged by Prince. They groove party anthems and timeless classics that’ll have you screaming, “This is MY SONG!” while you dance like it’s 1999. The Boiler Room has everything: brick oven dreams, Caesar epiphanies, killer cocktails, craft beers, sultry lighting, beautiful people, bar legends, and music that hits like a vintage disco ball to the soul. So if you’re in Cape May and you’re not at the Boiler Room, what are you even doing with your life? Sent from my iPhone“

“I’m all for tradition, but after 207 years, I think it’s time for a makeover, even for Congress Hall. 🐷“

“Our family has been coming to a ca mia annually for quite a few years, as this place was one of the few more upscale places willing to accomodate my kids when they were younger. (Note: my kids were relatively calm, stay in their seats, and were not interrupting anyone else’s dining experiences.)

Over the years we’ve had the same server often, how he manages to remember is impressive. Service here is always very attentive.

The chicken parm is one of my favorite offerings, other family members speak highly of the scampi. It’s an enjoyable reliably good meal in a great location.“

“Not sure why this place has a 3.9 rating - we had a wonderful time! Our server, Agnieszka, was great. Oysters were solid. Branzino was superb. Shrimp bruschetta was perfectly balanced with a lot of flavor. Our 2.5 year old daughter was treated great, and thoroughly enjoyed her hot dog and french fries. The Malbec was good, as was the St. Germain Spritz. It was a bit pricy but that’s to be expected for the location. Would go again!“

“My daughter and I were really looking forward to having dinner there but were disappointed. Our reservation was handled poorly not to mention rudely. I indicated outdoor seating when I called, then also asked for outdoor seating when we arrived but were initially given an indoor table. I understand these things happen. But, the real disappointment was the lamb. One of the chops was so tough, my knife couldn't cut it nor could I chew it.“

“Food was great! Appreciated the staff taking care of my special need!“

“I will come back because I like the place but I just want to say that is has downgraded over the renovation.“

“Always a great experience awesome bartenders and food“

“Service was great. 👍🏼 the waitress was spot on for as busy as the place was. Atmosphere for a quick bite and drink. Awesome“

“Fins still has great food as was there 10 years ago for its gran opening- plus over ther years. Most recently 7/19/25 and the combo shrimp and clump crab salad is wonderful- cold, lite mayo, and presentation wonderful. The filet was cooked as requested and flavored well. Fries hot and crispy as ordered. Denise our server was awesome, friendly, knew her job- and believe is one of the two original servers still there. She was a doll!“

“We celebrated our 53rd anniversary there tonight. They could not have been nicer to us. They treated us to a very special evening. Balloons at the table and complimentary champagne. They also treated us to a dessert of our choice. The food was delicious. I think we found our new favorite restaurant.“

“We enjoyed this local spot for breakfast. Love that it’s so close to the spot we camp. Came for the first time & definitely will be back to try more of their menu.“

“Love the food, love the view from the deck. The music on the deck is too LOUD, very hard to have a conversation. Please turn it down a little bit!“
