“Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. We have dined here multiple times and never have had a bad meal. Most recently we attended the game dinner which was a culinary art. Each course was more delicious than the next. The service was impeccable and the charming ambiance makes for a memorable experience. Highly recommend!“

“We had an amazing dinner at Grana BYOB! This was our first time dining here and I highly recommend it if looking for a fine dining experience in Cape May. Lots of fantastic and unique options like the wagyu meatballs, wagyu meatloaf, and a variety of small plate pastas. The entrees were plentiful portion sizes. Lots of dessert choices…the crème brûlée was perfect, as well as the blackberry sorbet. We’ll definitely be back!“

“When you have a menu that works, stick with it. And that's exactly what Mia does. Oh she'll charm you with delectable, exquisitely created specials to keep us on our toes, but it's the steak and seafood that continue to excel. We dined on the filet and small so African lobster that we're done to perfection. And this was at the end of the evening, when everyone is tired and beat. The corn fritter app was good, although I think the shrimp could have been slightly larger and the tails kept on for texture, but that's just me (and it's not my restaurant). The bread, salad and dessert included were each individually sublime. No doggie bags needed from us. Never felt rushed, however, we didn't feel entirely embraced either. With such a special dining destination, I like to feel special. Because the food says it's so. The ambience is California chic. Soft. Romantic. A tad noisy, but certainly doable. Wonderful overall and I'd highly recommend! Looking forward to future visits.“

“I really don't leave reviews very often, but this was one of the best meals I have ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. Every single thing we had was incredible; the calamari was the best I’ve ever had, and the seafood risotto and homemade key lime pie was to die for. I would come here every single time I come to Cape May from now on. Our server, Dajan, was excellent as well and was extremely professional. My girlfriend and I couldn’t celebrate together for Valentine’s Day because I had covid, so today was the day we could finally celebrate together down at the shore and it was perfect. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Delicious food from burgers to more elaborate dishes. We had the crab-topped salmon special ($36) and grilled salmon ($28), it was excellent. The special was enough of a portion for 2 people. The drinks were nicely prepared with a beach-like presentation - about $12/each. While it's not inexpensive, the quality the food was excellent.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with healthy options including fresh vegetables.“

“Food was excellent service was great. They have went the extra mile to return my hat as well.We live in Maryland, three hours away and I realized I left it behind when my wife and I returned home after having a wonderful breakfast before leaving for home after our visit to the Wildwoods. We highly recommend this restaurant and appreciate them and their “big heart” . Thank you again.“

“02/14/2024 Located in The Hugh B&B, my wife and I, my sister and brother in law all enjoyed a very nice meal... with excellent service. My wife started with the Baked South Bay Salt Oysters, which she raved about for days after. I had the beet salad. Good, but no raving happening. My wife and I both had the Bouillabaisse, which was terrific. My SIL had the Duck l'orange, while my BIL had a 'pasta of the day'. It's a little tight sitting where we were, but the service was terrific. We were a little disappointed that there was no decaf coffee to be had. Not sure if they were out, but it seemed more like decaf just wasn't on the menu. Make plans for this wonderful BYOB restaurant.“

“We had a group of 7 on New Years Eve and we all had an amazing time. The food was incredible! We had a four course dinner with a few choices for each course and were blown away with how good everything was. Our waitress was so sweet and pleasant and the restaurant was cozy and beautifull. Great way to start off the New Year!“

“Carini's is within walking distance of our condo, so we are there all the time and also recommend it to our renters. It's delicious! There really is something for everyone. My husband got the homemade ravioli which is out of this world. There's nothing like homemade pasta. I got the chicken noodle soup which tasted like mom's. My son got the chicken caesar salad which was a giant portion. We all shared meatballs, sausage, and bruschetta - so good! The clams casino was seasoned perfectly and so tasty. We had a lot of fun. Our waitress was extremely helpful and kind. It was a home run!“

Warm and cozy inside, we felt right at home.Parking: We didn't have trouble in off-season, but I am sure it can be difficult to find parkingKid-friendliness: No it's a dive bar“
