“Not-to-miss place while in cape may. Order at the window then find your seat in the well curated garden area. Very quiet and relaxing, unless of course you go the one time some jerk brought his yappy dog that wouldn't shut up, and he didn't care about affecting everyone else's experience. I'd urge management to be more proactive in removing such disruptions in an otherwise fabulous place.“

“Easy 5 stars, maybe 6. Shayna was the HIGHLIGHT of our evening. Her spiel was perfect, timing was impeccable, she was interested in what we had to say and had all the answers to our questions. Top notch server! Would HIGHLY recommend to request her as your server. Also, Ian was a super nice young gentleman who has a quick eye, polite demeanor, and takes the lead when the need is seen. Had tuna tartare, which was 10/10 until the amuse boosh arrived, on the house, and was exceptionally exquisite. Finished with short rib and fosters which were both outta this world. Will be dining here again!!“

“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.“

Lamb chops were tasty.The apple onion soup was delicious and I give extra points for creativity because I've never heard of apples in onion soup. Really good.I had the salmon over risotto. Salmon had a nice sear on the outside and the buttery sauce was very nice with the fish.Live music added to the vibe. Salted caramel Manhattan was really good. I had two.“

Very tasty fried scallops, and wonderful fine slaw. The Steak au Poive was tasty and nicely cooked. The winner from a flavor standpoint was the LBVP meatloaf - WOW!
