The restaurant sign at the entrance is large and easy to spot — anyone passing by on their way to Cape May Beach will definitely see it. There’s plenty of parking, which makes it very convenient. The restaurant is divided into three sections: seating on the boat, roadside seating, and indoor seating. Since it was raining when we visited, we sat inside. The interior has a classic, slightly old-school vibe. The staff were well-dressed and courteous. However, we were surprised when the server placed plates on our table that were still wet and had visible stains on them — we had to wipe them ourselves. We started with appetizers: fried calamari, fresh crab meat, jumbo shrimp cocktail, and clam chowder. The taste was decent. However, the staff repeatedly came over to ask if we were ready to order the main course, even though our table was still full of appetizers. It felt unnecessarily rushed, especially since it was raining and the restaurant wasn’t crowded. Once we finally ordered our mains — two lobsters (steamed and boiled) with a side of crab cake stuffing — the server brought us some bread. The bread was tasty and went well with the clam chowder, although it could get a bit messy when cutting. When the lobster arrived, we were excited — we had high expectations, especially from a place called “Lobster House.” Unfortunately, the taste was very average and not particularly fresh, which was disappointing. We eat seafood often and can tell the difference between fresh and not-so-fresh, and this was clearly not fresh. Overall, we were a bit let down. The restaurant is popular and worth visiting for the experience, but don’t expect too much. It could have been better.

We enjoyed a delicious meal, with friendly and attentive staff and a beautiful view of the harbor from our table. When we saw how many cars were in the parking lot, we were concerned we'd have a long wait for a table. However, the restaurant is huge, with multiple dining rooms, and we only waited about 20 minutes. The staff and kitchen were incredibly efficient, we were in awe of how smoothly they were able to serve so many people at once. I had the Flounder Francaise over linguine and it was one of the best meals I had on our two week trip across the Northeast coast. The fish was perfectly cooked with a light egg coating and the lemon wine sauce was delicious. My husband had the swordfish served on a wood plank with duchess potatoes and said his meal was perfect. We would definitely return when in the area again.

Quaint old school restaurant on the wharf with beautiful views and knowledgeable staff with adorable uniforms that take me back. Sandy was a great server. Very accommodating and direct. Food was excellent. It's nice that the salad is included with homemade dressing. The room was a little dark with many customers with flash lights. The bathroom attendant was so friendly.

Wow, absolutely unforgettable. My mom was pushing for us to go here. I’m so glad we listened! Mom is always right. Wow what a delicious meal. Everything was unbelievable. We had Yasin as our waiter. He was very kind! We got : Escargot - so many I was shocked!! Baked clams casino - amazing ! Crab imperial - to die for Lobster house special - best thing to order you get lobster, shrimp and scallops!! My favorite were the scallops. Thank you for a lovely last evening at the shore.

It is one of the more popular restaurant in the area. There was a wait for dinner on a Thursday night. We arrived at 7:30pm and waited about 25-30 minutes for seats. Huge parking lot across the street. Crabmeat cocktail was good. Calamari was not that great. A little soggy and not crispy. Lobster house specialty was okay. The broiled 1.5lbs lobster was a must get.

This place blew us away. Cozy, sea inspired feel and deco. The food was great, lobster bisque was incredible (our regards to Chef John). Emily provided one of the best services we've experienced; she was delightful, attentive, professional + graceful timing. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Cape May 🤍

Consistently exceptional. The Lobster House in Cape May never disappoints. The bread, salad, and fried shrimp are always prepared to perfection. The Cape May Salt Oysters are a true standout — delicately mild, impeccably fresh, and absolutely delicious. A timeless coastal dining experience that continues to impress with every visit.

Lovely boat ride. Polite staff. We had small children on the boat and they worked hard to keep them safe. Unfortunately, the weather was so so, and it was difficult to stay outside. Also, while we saw several schools of dolphins, after two hours, the whales decided to stay hidden. I know it's a game of roulette, whether they will appear. Boat was clean. The snacks and drinks were a bit overpriced. A nice trip.

This was our third dolphin watching trip and the first sunset dolphin watch. As always, it never fails to disappoint! The dolphins were so close and the sunset was breathtaking! We also enjoy listening to the captain talk about dolphin facts as well as the history of Cape May. It's all very interesting.

Wonderful excursion! Website was user friendly. Instructions and directions were spot on. Vessel was well maintained. All staff and crew were friendly and helpful. The Captain’s commentary was informative and entertaining. All that AND multiple whale and dolphin sightings on an absolutely gorgeous October day. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Perfect Family Sunset Cruise Experience! We took the Cape May Whale Watcher sunset cruise as a family of five—with three kids ages [14, 12 & 5]—and it was a highlight of our trip! From the moment we boarded, the staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. The boat was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with both indoor and outdoor seating (which was great for our youngest who didn’t like the wind on her face). The best part? We saw so many dolphins! They swam right alongside the boat, and the kids were absolutely thrilled. The sunset views were stunning—Cape May from the water is something you don’t want to miss. We also really appreciated the complimentary hot dogs and pizza. It made it super easy to enjoy the ride without worrying about food before or after. This cruise is the perfect balance of relaxation for parents and excitement for kids. We would absolutely recommend this to any family visiting Cape May.

Today, my hubby and I celebrated our 17th anniversary on the Cape May Whale Watcher. I couldn’t give the experience a perfect 5 because we saw no whales but everything else made this a PERFECT 4. I’ll explain. When we arrived, highly visible crew people in red tee-shirts helped us park in a free parking lot. Then we went to the gift shop to get our boarding passes. The waiting area was a set of comfortable picnic tables with giant board games. Once we all boarded we were on our way. The captain made announcements that we mostly heard but an upgraded sound system could make it clearer. He spoke of the various marine life that was under the boat. The boat itself was very comfortable. There were ample indoor and outdoor seats. Hubby and I chose to sit outside. Shortly into our journey we encountered a pod of playful dolphins. They were frolicking in fun ways that delighted us. Like the captain said, they won’t pose for us but it was fun to be in community with them. Then the captain strove to find some whales for us to hang out with but I guess the whales chose to stay underwater when we went. It was a little disappointing but I appreciated the efforts made. I also loved just being out on the water. The crew was very capable and the ride was so smooth. I saw a few folks catching relaxing naps. Including my neighbor’s toddler. The water tends to lull folks. Hubby and I loved the trip and would definitely go again.

Thank God for the staff for holding the boat as we were a few minutes late. The boat was great with indoor and outdoor seating. There was out door seating with and without shading. Although we did not spot any whales we did see plenty of dolphin pods. The captain was funny, sassy and had plenty of knowledge of the aquatic life. We had a great time. There was also plenty of restrooms and food available for purchase on board.

The whale watching tour was pretty good fun. The captian was a very good orator! He spent hours talking us through the history of Cape May and the buildings that were well over 150 years old. Who knew the history could be so interesting. The light house is a beautiful landmark with history of its own. No spoilers. Many many interesting factoids and we hadn't even gotten out of the cape. The dolphins were everywhere, bottlenose dolphins with their babies calves! The educational aspect from the captain was very inspiring. So many facts and delivered with a sincere passion. I mean it, this guys voice was perfect and moving during the entire trip. A lot of rare factoids about the family business and future endeavors. The prices were right. The ship was roomy and one could roam about as desired. They served beverages and alcohol in the ships bar. There was plenty of FREE pizza and hot dogs for the hungry traveler. As many as you wanted to eat. They even offered whole pizzas to go when the tour was finished. They rent binoculars but the dolphins were very close. The whales however were much farther away. A few whales came to the surface but were pretty far off. I would fully recommend this tour for your family even with little kids. Along with clean restrooms and friendly staff, this is a 5 star tour!

We pulled into park and were slightly early so went into the gift shop(once we figured out where it was) That's where we learned that the trolly light tour doesn't pick you up at the Estate but rather downtown where parking is like finding a needle in a haystack. I assumed based on it stating the tour is only 30 minutes and assuming we departed out of here, we'd be fine on time, although it was probably a tight timeframe. We had a 5:30-6pm Estate tour and a 6:30-7pm Light Trolly Ride. The estate tour was somewhat disappointing but I guess it's maybe because it wasn't what we thought. Estate was nicely decorated with lights & there was a decent size parking lot. We were told to wait outside in front of the building 15 minutes before but weren't really told what to do so everyone kind of just clustered up. It was a HUGE group. Seemed like staff were unprepared for the number of people and ended up splitting the group into two. There wasn't really much direction given and it was more of a drawn out re enactment as opposed to giving factual information about the estate. We only got through the first 2 rooms in a half hour, the amount of time they say the tour is. We had a trolly booked for 6:30 so we didn't stay longer. We would have liked to hear some factual background on the house, the way they lived, etc. I hate being "nit-picky" but unfortunately this was slightly different compared to tours we normally do. *Also, we only made it through 1 room in 30 minutes so expect this to be an hour or 2 tour. It is impressive how restored the estate is though and it's beautiful.

Love it. Loved Ken our tour guide too. Beautiful piece of history preserved. I highly recommend a tour.

I absolutely lose my mind over historical gems such as the Physick Estate that have the entire house to peruse! The tour guide was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history. Came with my friends on the first day of our CM vacation on a weekend. Pretty easy enough to purchase tickets ahead of time at the gift store. All in all a perfect way to spend a few hours learning about the local history! Highly recommend!!!!

It was interesting and informative. I bought a combination ticket which includes a trolley tour. I recommend the combination.

The Emlen Physick Estate offers a great trip back into Cape May's Victorian History. Take the tour: Guides are knowledgeable and the property is beautiful.

Very beautiful estate where we learned about Emlen Physick. We built a scarecrow, learned about magicians, and listened for ghosts

Excellent information and beautiful estate. We had a large tour group of about 10-11 people and there was not enough space in all the rooms for us to fit. The last ones in saw nothing until on the way out and then we were rushed to the next room. We came to see the room, the furniture the artwork. It's all lovely. We can forgo some of the story to drink in the details. Please let people really see the rooms, allow time for people wander a bit in them, and have smaller tour groups so there is enough room for everyone.

Nice location, but overpriced and poorly managed. Cape May Beach has beautiful views, but the experience was disappointing overall. They charge for everything — entrance per person, beach chairs, umbrellas — and yet offer none of the basic amenities you’d expect. No toilets, no showers, nothing. For the price, you’d think they’d provide at least the essentials. Definitely not worth the cost.

I don't mind paying, since there are lifeguards.... But some people charging at the entrance are rude. Plus there is no bathroom or any facilities... Bring cash, if you use QR code there's an additional $2 charge.

Very clean beach. Soft sand. Very relaxing. My mom and dad are from Brasil and they love it. They can't wait to spend the day here. Family friendly. $10.00 for day pass per adult. There are $40.00 season passes and weekly passes. Definitely worth it. I do the day passes.

We always love cape may. Beautiful. Big. Many times look out and see dolphins. People are not on top of each other. Nice shops. Nothing bad to say.

Groomed beach with lifeguard requires $10 beach tag, includes restrooms with shower, promenade with view of Victorian hotels. Very warm water at this time includes some jellyfish and an array of crabs.

The oldest beach community in the US. Clean quite, family 👪 friendly. The views are amazing and the residents take care of their community. The beach is well maintained and the access to the beach in the summer one must purchase a beach tag. It's worth the price. Great waves amazing sunsets. It's a little pricey but worth the trip

It's the best beach I've ever traveled to with family. Clean white fluffy sand with seating and umbrellas if you need it. Everything's within reach from food , bathrooms and ice cream

such a cute little street mall and I love all the stores here. it’s the classical beach city street mall you’d expect from any place and it’s better than a boardwalk, you get the same amount of jersey heat but it’s definitely more enjoyable than dusty sand toes. the washington street mall provides more luxury than a boardwalk and is definitely the place if you want to pretend you’re living your dream preppy, coastal designer life. i spend hundreds here every time and I don’t regret it at all, there’s always another cute little souvenir (but i suggest you don’t get distracted by all the merchandise with the city name on it unless you’re not coming back, invest in some cute jewelry and a treat or some more quality clothes). still lots of handmade and local sponsorship and i love this place, i hope to see it flourish even more!

A fabulous place to shop at any time of year...but I particularly enjoy visiting in September! The crowds are a little smaller, and the weather is perfection! During my most recent visit I snapped up a gorgeous new hat, a fun fall cover up, and beautiful moldavite earrings! Definately worth a visit!

What a great way to spend several hours. There are a multitude of eclectic stores for everyone's taste. You can seek out your favorite Cape May t-shirt, find you child something to ccupy themselves on the beach, or bring your favorite four-legged friend a treat from Collar and Bone. Once you're finished your shore shopping, entertain yourself be indulging in one of the several eateries located on the mall. Round out your time here with the ever-present ice cream shoppes.

Washington Street Mall is such a charming spot in Cape May and absolutely a must-visit no matter what season you’re here! It’s the kind of place you can easily spend a couple of hours exploring because there’s truly a store for everything — from unique boutiques and gift shops to sweets, souvenirs, and more. Parking is paid and can be a little difficult to find, especially during busy weekends, but once you’re there, it’s worth it. The whole area is walkable, beautifully kept, and has such a welcoming small-town feel. There are also plenty of great eateries and cafés tucked around the mall, so you can shop, grab a bite to eat, and then keep strolling. It’s the perfect mix of relaxing and lively, with something for everyone. Every time we come to Cape May, we make it a point to stop here. It really feels like the heart of the town!

Beautiful street, loved the vibe, cape mat is best for short vacation. Loved the building structure here.

Excellent place for a casual stroll, great food, ice cream, coffee and other treat.

A wonderful time with wife open, dedicated walking only with very nice shops lining both sides. Were from Lewes/Rehoboth and the quality of stores just seemed of a higher standard. Very nice restaurants lining it as well. A beautiful day trip coming over on the fairy. We took our bikes for a 45 minute ride too the mall. Only 6 miles. A lovely time with mostly bike lanes from the fairy to the mall but not all. Id highly recommend the trip or visit.

Love this location when I’m down in Cape May! It’s located right on the mall strip, they have a decent area for outdoor seating but it’s also a great option just to grab and walk around too since there’s seating areas all around the mall. The portion sizes are huge though - could be good or bad - I usually stick with kids sizes!

My boyfriend and i always enjoyed coming here but this year it’s been a let down. our first day we got a small in a cup and a milkshake. The milk shakes are so thin because of how much milk they add it was barely enjoyable. But our total was $16.23 without tip. fast forward 2 weeks later we go down order the same small cup and same sized milkshake and again milkshake is super loose and not enjoyable and somehow our total was $19.50. When i asked for a receipt because i couldn’t believe the price went up over $3 she said the printer jammed and was unable to reprint. I won’t probably be back for a while considering i’m spending $20 for milk and a small scoop.

Ben & Jerry's is our favorite ice cream shop in Cape May 💕 The staff is friendly and the store is well kept and clean.

They were friendly, helpful and very helpful with allergy issues. Even to the point of washing their arms and using new gloves to scoop the non dairy ice cream. I thank them for all the precautions they took. Above and beyond service.

Possibly the best place to have ice cream in Cape May. The staff is always pleasant and always helpful when deciding flavors of ice cream. On our last visit we tried the Lemonade serbet which was excellent! We also had the cookie cookie milkshake which was very good too. This location also provides plenty of alternatives for non dairy ice cream. Must visit when in Cape May!

The new Dairy Free Mocachino Chip is delicious!!! The staff in CapMay NJ are really friendly and the ice cream shop is so cute!! Enjoy!!

Glad they had non dairy options. Pricey but good.

Another fantastic meal at Mayer's Tavern. Tonight I had the yogurt marinated chicken. It was really hard not to get the scallops but I was just there last week so I convinced myself to try something different. Family who I had dinner with both got the scallops and when their plates were delivered I was feeling a little regret looking at the amazing plate of scallops but that quickly changed when I took the first bite of my chicken. The chicken was just as fantastic as the scallops. A perfectly cooked airline breast with crispy skin and tender juicy breast seasoned nicely and served with polenta and greens. Everything I have tried has been really well prepared, thoughtfully seasoned and complimented by sides and sauces that elevate the flavor of top quality ingredients prepared with attention to detail. Can't wait to return and try some more great menu items or specials. If I lived closer I'd be a regular for sure. Very limited menu but what they do they do very well. Great dishes I've tried: Scallops of course, mussels, crab fritters, yogurt marinated Chicken, Zucchini and Squash with green goddess dressing (app special), chocolate mousse.

Mayers is the best in town. We crave their food. The scallop platter, the burger, the kale salad , the clams……😀 Update on 8/2/25: They took the clam appetizer off, but added this crispy chicken app. Though i was very frustrated about the clam appetizer getting pulled :( , the crispy chicken app blew me away. This chef and crew create tastes that you would have never thought existed. The bread pudding is the best you will ever have. This place is amazing.

We dine at Mayer’s a few times each summer and it is a nice, off the beaten track establishment. A lot of the food is fried but they continue to add non-fried items. They’ve added more specials this summer including fresh fish options. The portions are flavorful and fairly priced. The bar is nice and cozy and often packed. The indoor restaurant is small and can get full quickly on inclement days when the outside porch dining is closed. They always have a unique wine list with offerings from many smaller, lesser known vineyards. There is some parking next to the restaurant and usually street parking can be found. We enjoy dining here and think you will too.

Very nice place to stop. Casual but classy. Easy to get a seat. Specials available. Indoor and outdoor seating for 1,2 or groups. Bartenders are attentive. We would go back. Walking distance from South Journey Marina.

I always get a burger my first time at a restaurant if I'm unsure if they make good food or not. If they can't make a good burger, the rest of the food is going to suck just as much. I'd rather spend $19 on a burger than $45 on a steak or seafood to find out they use frozen grocery store meat. Not the case here. Really great burger. Obviously ground, not frozen or store bought patty, with a nice blend, great flavor, and well put together end product. My wife's scallops, the fries, and the desserts were also all excellent. Servers were great and were very gracious even with my toddler making a mess on the floor. Prices are reasonable. Nit picks: the bourbon lemonade kind of a foofoo drink (I should have asked beforehand) and is very lemon sour forward and needs a higher ratio of bourbon (for people who actually want to taste bourbon), and they won't split a check, even 50/50. Pretty silly in this day in age. But oh well.

Had dinner with the wife and daughter here Thursday night, 9/18/2025... This was one of the best dinners we have ever had. FIVE STAR everything at a very good price. The oysters, the bluefish, the squid, the tile fish....Everything was fresh and prepared and presented perfectly. And the wait staff even better. Will be going back again for certain. Thank you for a great experience...

Great drinks. Friendly staff. Great food. Let us sit and chat and finish our drinks even after closing time. Can’t wait to go again when I’m back next summer. Kale salad and Cold Front drink outstanding. Wine list really fun and modern.

This was my first time here, and we were the second guests seated at our table, so I’m giving a 4 star rating for now and will update after my next visit at a different time. We came for brunch over Memorial Day weekend, and I had the salmon salad. The salmon was cooked perfectly—not overdone—and the salad had just the right amount of dressing. A great experience overall!

Could be better! We tried this place based on the reviews. Love that it’s BYOB. 4 people, 2 apps & 4 entrees was about $200 without tip. If you eat “indoors,” it’s basically outside but in a large enclosed tent. Which is fine, if the food was better. There’s no bathroom inside, you walk outside of the eating area, and down a walkway to the restroom. Compare the restroom vibe to a festival set-up or camper park. It wasn’t clean. We got the Chicken Meatballs as an app, comes with 5 small meatballs. They weren’t worth the $18 & I don’t recommend. The Baked Brie appetizer was really good! Has a sweetness from the jams on it, very delicious with the crackers. The Duck Confit was pretty good. The zucchini could’ve been cooked a little better because they were soggy and needed salt. The Barrumundi Brimmed was not good. The fish was rubbery and you couldn’t taste any jumbo crab. We also didn’t know what a Barramundi was until now. The menu might have it spelled wrong unless that was intentional. The Lamb Shank dish was a bit slimy. The waitress also did not ask how we wanted it cooked and it came out medium-well.. for the price, it could’ve been better. The Avocado Feta Salmon was OK. The salmon itself was the only good thing on the plate. This place has potential. They can be “antique-style” and vintage-y if they put in more effort to making the place nicer, including better standards on the food and atmosphere. If you want an elegant vintage place, you can have the rugged look but the food needs to be above standard to make the environment an appealing experience! Overall, the meal was disappointing & each meal came out lukewarm-cool. We went to our house and ordered a pizza & desserts from Blue Moon Pizza... so if that says anything at all, there you go.

We really loved our whole meal- particularly the octopus appetizer, and the short rib and lamb shank entrees. The seating outside on the patio under string lights was beautiful and really made it all extra enjoyable. My husband and I can’t wait to go back!

Nikos has hit a home run with this restaurant. Totally efficient people serving, excellent service and phenomenal food. Great addition to the Kara’s Group. Never rushed, always so friendly and most comfortable at Vintage. Ty Nikos for such great leadership!!!!! John and Maureen Oppenheimer

We have been there a few times now and we just love it. It’s consistently good. I did a few dinners there and today I did a brunch… excellent.

Great spot for a small group dinner! We sat outside and it was lovely. Everyone loved their dishes (recommend the spanakopita, lamb, and chicken meatballs). Staff was beyond fantastic and took care of us like family.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch here. I had a delicious Panini. Food was prepared very well. Service was good. It is an outdoor facility under a permanent type tent. Rained the whole time we were there, but we were dry and comfortable. However a trip to the restrooms required going outside to a small building near the parking lot. We had reservations, but probably due to the rain, there were empty tables.

It’s been a while since I last visited, but I had an amazing time this time! The food has definitely improved, and the service was good despite being a busy night. We tried the soft shell crab special for $54 and the primary rib for $80 for 22 ounces. It was delicious, even though it was a bit pricey. Overall, it was a great experience! One suggestion that I would propose to the restaurant is to upgrade the wine glasses. If not water glasses, the wine glasses appear to be quite antiquated, which does not reflect the quality and value of the $410 meal. They are so outdated and deserve better.

Had a very lovely dinner here. I thought the food was delicious and unique especially when eating a lot of seafood down the shore. We tried several of the fish and scallop dishes all were amazing. Service was great answered all our questions and described each dish perfectly. If you like flavor and a Creole southern style then this is the place for you. It’s also BYOB and they take reservations. Book about 2 weeks in advance!

Chef Tony Primavera has raised an already amazing Cape May landmark to another level. Appetizer, lamb chops, scallops, shrimp. Entree shellfish gumbo. Dessert, authentic key lime pie. All spectacular. As a table we basically had eight different items and were all impressed. We will be back… if we can get in! When service, ambiance and food are all this good I know last minute plans won’t work.

Great restaurant! Service was perfection! Most of all, the food was delicious. A wonderful array of fresh fish on the menu. It's a must visit when you're in Cape May.

Pretty disappointing meal tonight at 410 Bank St. I have to say it was some of the ugliest food we’ve ever had at such an upscale restaurant. We expected so much more. A special, Tuna Ceviche sounded wonderful. Instead my first thought was “is that a stew?” It was not a ceviche we’ve ever had that is fresh, clean food. This was a brown sauce that looked like beef stew. It tasted okay but was very unappetizing to look at. Same with the oysters and steak app. Mushy crostini in another brown sauce. Where is the chef with beautiful presentation? My red snapper was very good but the zucchini on the side looked like something out of a frozen bag. This was an expensive meal but one of the most unappealing looking meals I’ve ever had. Someone clearly is lacking on presentation in the kitchen.

My dad and celebrated a belated Father’s Day here and it was so lovely! Food was cooked to perfection. Memorable dinner and excellent service. Instagrammable location too!

I first visited this restaurant when it opened in 1984. I remember it was so special and wonderful then. I recently visited 41 years later, and it was by far my favorite restaurant of the week. The food was absolutely outstanding. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere is so charming. I plan to return to Cape May next summer and we’ll definitely dine there again.

We visited on 8/20/2025. Climbed with 5 boys aged 3-7 years old and they had a great time. The stairs inside are pretty wide and there are stopping points by the windows, as you go up/down, to rest or let others pass by. The views at the top are definitely worth it!

Must see attraction. Beautifully preserved site. Managed by super polite people. The climb is worth the scene from above. Also must visit the souvenir shop, the older gentleman is so adorable. The museum alongside is very interesting. Hike on path trails and time your visit with sunset to watch from the beach. It's breathtaking Plenty of parking available

The Cape May Lighthouse is such a stunning spot! Even without going up to the top, the surroundings alone are worth the visit. The area around the lighthouse is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm — perfect for a relaxing walk and to take in the scenery. It’s a great place to enjoy nature, history, and the coastal views all at once. Definitely a highlight in Cape May!

Fun place. You can go up inside the lighthouse too. It was free for us to visit. It was a great place to take photos. They even have a gift shop and oil house. The beach is right behind it so it’s a nice spot. They have a play area and lots of parking. We went in off season though.

This is a great family activity with a cherry on top - great views from the top or this well maintained and still working Lighthouse. This place offered a great exercise climbing 199 steps up and then going down but the most impressive thing is the amazing views of all of Cape May, the ocean, and the Delaware Bay. Highly recommend this experience when in Cape May on a clear day!

This was just a stop for a day trip at Cape May. We were lucky it was not crowded at all. Perfect weather for October. Not too many stairs to climb. Max pulse 126

What a neat place. Don't like heights much, but going down the stairs wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. 199 steps. Each window alcove had pictures and explanations about the structure and what life was like. Nice view from the catwalk(?) that you are allowed to traverse. Wish the gift shop had lighthouse pens! There was access to the beach from the parking lot, a mini museum, and boardwalk trails around the ponds, with opportunities for birdwatching. Ran out of time to do all three trails. Worth visiting!

Maps didn't put my pictures in the order I chose them but you can see how beautiful the sunsets are! Not only are the sunsets beautiful at Sunset Beach, but you can also search for "Cape May Diamonds" in the sand. They are the pebbles that have become clear over time. You may want to grab a little something to eat before you go if you are planning to eat at the restaurant. My son wanted a little something and it would've been a 3 hr. wait! I have gone to Sunset Beach many times over the years and seen differing sunsets. My son's favorite was when we went to see the sunset, but there wasn't one because of a lightning storm further out in the ocean. It too was a beautiful part of nature to watch. He was wishing for a thunderstorm this last time we went!

Amazing beach. So many rocks and shells. The gift shops are amazing. There is a ship wreck near and you can take fun photos. They have the viewing binoculars that you can pay a quarter and see. The one gift shop has a mini golf place. Go to the gift shop in the off season. Such a fun place. Great places to eat too.

Sunset Beach is a must-do during our beach vacations. Arrive early to experience the moving flag ceremony—it’s a highlight. The beach is especially beautiful during golden hour and perfect for family photos. There are also shops and food options nearby, adding to the charm. Parking can be a challenge. While there are a couple of small lots near the beach, they fill up quickly. We often end up parking on the street and walking.

We passed this beach by on the trolley while tiring around Cape May. The place is beautiful and seems very popular and liked by locals. The shop near the beach is so cute and it has so much beautiful stuff including famous Cape May diamonds. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. All in all, it’s a great place to stop by for a day at the beach with the family. We will definitely be back for more!

Always a fun time at Sunset Beach. We came back to visit after many years. Still digging for those Cape May diamonds!

Grew up coming here every summer and some nights take your breathe away. A must stop on your vacation to the Jersey shore. Best nights to go are when the skies are clear (limited clouds) and during the week. It gets crowded but worth it. Have seen countless engagements here and families pictures. Just spectacular. The gift shop has adorable crafts and gifts, as well an example of the famous Cape May diamonds. Bathrooms on site and plenty of parking in the lot as well as on street.

I think the beach is slightly overrated. In the season so many people come to see the sunset that it's very difficult to find parking. The beach itself has rather course sand that looks a bit dirty. Nice view of the shipwreck.

What a great experience at Willow Creek Winery - it’s a beautiful place with really good food and wine. I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating - tons of photo ops. But it was Heather who went above and beyond to make sure the wine flights we selected were suited to our tastes and our experience exceeded expectations. She was spot on, also. We all enjoyed our picks! She was so friendly, knowledgeable (answered all of our questions about grapes, barrels and more) and patient (explaining and re-explaining)! A total hidden gem in Cape May. Will be back for sure and thanks Heather!

This was my first time visiting a vineyard, and Willow Creek Winery & Farm truly impressed me. The drive in already felt special—passing through rows of beautiful vineyards before arriving at a full parking lot, showing how popular the place is. The winery offers two styles of service: one with table service and another where you order and then find your own seat. The atmosphere is absolutely lovely, and I highly recommend going around 4–5 p.m. when the sunlight is soft and perfect for photos. Normally, I’m not a drinker, but I had to taste their wines, and the menu I tried was so delicious. Overall, I really loved the experience here—it’s not just about the wine, but also the relaxing vibe and the beautiful setting.

Heather was the best server with the best suggestions. Our visit was extremely pleasant and we will be coming back to try the combo platter and have the highly-recommended, signature willow whip again (our favorite for the day). The Wilde cock white bottle was good for crispy white wine lovers, and the wild cock prestige white bottle was even better if you are a Chardonnay lover.

First of all, this winery has some very good dry wines (I was more prepared for NJ sweet stuff, but their Malbec was truly exceptional); they have wonderful premises with lots of picturesque vines to stroll through; food menu is solid, with some great highlights: bacon wrapped scallops were incredibly flavorful, pulled pork sandwich juicy, and burger a perfectly balance mouthful (sadly, fries was very good, too!). Highly recommend to anyone in the area

My group had a wonderful time at Willow Creek. We did the educational wine tasting and it was fantastic. Ryley was our wine educator and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the ambiance was stunning. I would highly recommend Willow creek for a day out and wine tasting. Ask for Ryley! Terry

Our stay at Willow Creek Winery was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and so peaceful. The property itself is stunninglush vineyards, beautiful scenery, and such a relaxing vibe. The wine tastings were incredible, with a great variety to choose from, and each one was delicious. The staff was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Our stay on the property was just as wonderful. The accommodations were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully put together, giving us that perfect mix of comfort and charm. Waking up to the view of the vineyards felt like a dream. Everything was so well taken care of, and we truly felt like we could just unwind and enjoy ourselves. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a fun trip with friends, or just some time to relax and sip amazing wine, Willow Creek Winery is the perfect spot. We can’t wait to come back! 🍷🌿The Staff were so sweet and kind. Ps We LOVED THE SEASONAL WILLOW WHIP SOOOOO GOOD

A lovely winery!! Tons of seating both indoor and outdoor so you don’t need to worry about having a reservation. They also have a fun Alice in wonderland theme going on. Perfect scenery and location, especially being so close to beach plum farm. The food was really good- one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I’ve had! Only complaint is completely my opinion and I’m probably being picky but the prosecco was SO sweet (too sweet for a prosecco) and a bit hard to put down. The drink prices in general are steep for what you get, the wine is decent, but not amazing (I also tried the white wine my husband ordered). I would still definitely go back since it’s a beautiful property, staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was delish. 5 stars all around because I didn’t try enough of their wine selection to have a reasonable opinion.

We came to eat here at the end of August. The atmosphere was very nice. It had outdoor seating with charming decor. We came at opening time on a Monday, and live music was being setup. Our selection was Indian Disco Fries, Brussels Sprouts, and Bang Bang Chicken & Shrimp. The fries were pretty good. I liked the mild curry flavor paired with the creamy goat cheese on top of crispy waffle fries. The Brussel Sprouts were great! They were crispy and a bit sweet. We weren't big fans of the curry. It was okay, but perhaps a bit too mild and toned down for our taste. The chicken and shrimp were also a bit overcooked. Overall, it was a pleasure eating here, and I'd come back again.

I love coming here every summer, especially for their curry. However after today I will never go again! We ordered the Butter Chicken Curry as usual, which came out to be nothing like it was before! The sauce looked almost separated with oil/butter. And mixing the rice in/ stirring everything together only made it worse! It was like a spoonful of oil every time you picked up your spoon. We also ordered the naan bread, which came out wrapped in aluminum foil rather than a plate! One of our forks was also dirty/ still covered with food, therefore we asked for another and got a new fork that also had food on it! The place and decorations were all the same. Our waiter was super nice and even took the curry dishes off the bill. But I don’t even think I could ever come back to that place after seeing that as my dish. And in the end I didn’t feel like I was eating at a restaurant, felt like I was eating at an overpriced fast food place! Also they have completely shortened the menu so don’t expect everything to still be there. The menus are a double sided piece of paper that they reuse to everyone even after rips and food stains from guest before

A little strange thought we were pulling up to some type of BBQ little did i know not at all it was indian food didnt see one indian person either all i saw was white people and a 14 year old spanish boy who brought us out the food so confused first thing they gave us menus with sauce on them the food was good my salmon little over done and the fries were cold and hard but they bring out new ones not going to be to hard on them think I could but it was tasty so yea.

Had a wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere is very homely, and the food is definitely a must try. There’s plenty of vegan substitutes as well! Pad Thai is a must try here for sure.

Dude... what a fusion of comfort foods and flavors with the indian influence. This place is such a vibe. Best spot so far after a couple years visiting cape may. VISIT HERE.

Been a while since we stopped here but I never wrote the review. Very interesting concept that works for nice summer days. The food was amazing! The lobster Mac and cheese had more lobster than noodles and was delicious. My wife got the butter chicken that I thought I wouldn't like but the flavors were so complimentary to each other and it ended up being my favorite dish. The only reason I gave 4 stars was the burger I got was barely average and tasted rather boring. But will stop again if we are riding down this way.

Interesting and innovative eatery. Ordered a chicken curry that was a very odd flavor. Curries can vary a lot and this is their style, and they do try to explain the heavy coconut milk base. I was most unhappy with the offering of a Nan that was just a pita wrapped in foil. Really?

A nice collection of shops! This spot is well worth the walk from downtown Cape May, offering a diverse mix of antiques, clothing, original art, photographs, and unique Cape May souvenirs. There is also an excellent coffee shop to enjoy. Keep in mind that parking can be a bit challenging during the busy summer season.

i really love coming here with my family. There is a lot of really unique items in here! unfortunately this time we came across this one booth (i believe it was the Small Wonders booth) that had a lot of really cute polymer clay frogs. super cute and handmade! unfortunately this same booth had its walls filled to the brim with AI Slop art printed onto its canvases with stupid sayings underneath that were all being sold for $60 minimum! not only is this AI garbage being sold for more than stuff produced by Humans at the same store but it’s also horrifically ugly with tragically unfunny captions. AI art steals from actual artists and shouldn’t be sold in the same place that wonderful handmade items. if you’re too weak to draw without a computer making it for you then maybe it’s time to pick up a pencil and learn instead of charging absurd amounts for something you contributed zero effort into! I still love the uniqueness in this store and the wonderful human artists they platform and showcase! i just wish there was some type of policy in place to prevent ugly, low effort AI garbage from being sold.

Nice variety of vendors and cool items. Experience tarnished by checkout. Took me days to decide to purchase $120 of unique items, and the blonde older lady at the checkout just threw them in a bag. No cushion. No paper. Nothing. Second time with the same experience with this same (unfriendly abrupt) woman. Vendors deserve a better final impression of the place.

You hit up here and Washington Street Mall and you have done all the shopping you need for Cape May. I love that it's a mix of local brands, local artists and unique antique/vintage finds. A trip to CM is never complete without a walk through ❤️

We love stopping into the West End Garage on our visits to Cape May! The West End Garage offers many personalized and hand made items located in the kiosks located in the building. They have so much decor and gifts to choose from; you name it and they probably have it somewhere! The staff are very helpful and the cafe located on the side of the garage offers very nice drinks and pastries.

Great place, but they need to moderate their vendors. Bought a ring from a stall with a bunch of jewelry. It was a little spinner sun ring for 20$. I bought it. Later, i lost it. Sucks, but unrelated. The important part is that when i googled to see if the seller had a website, i found the same ring on shein for $2. I get that it's not exactly their fault but you'd think they at least try and see if the seller are scamming people. Not buying anything from there again without researching first. Smh.

This was one of my favorite places to shop in Cape May. There were tons of small shops selling a wide variety of different things. The coffee shop here was the best I had during my visit to the area. The pastries at the shop were way above expectations. This i feel is a cool must visit spot with a lot to see and shop for.

Overall good, expensive, upscale, with a dedicated chef and a reserved staff. I suggest you take your desert to go and watch the sunset on the tip of Cape May, a perfect way to end the day. Easily one of the best braised beef dishes I've ever had. The meat was tender with a slightly sweet taste that really complimented the beef. The shrimp was slightly spicy, fried perfectly. With the full mellow sweet potato and tangy kale, the dish was perfectly balanced. My friend had the duck and enjoyed the risotto. Well cooked but the fat and skin of the duck was tough which is understandably hard to perfect.

The Black Duck has lost its luster. The new owners don’t seem to understand the difference between running a gastropub and a fine dining establishment. We dined at the Duck for decades because we could always count on a consistently excellent menu, professional table service, a prix fixe menu, and the best lobster bisque on the cape. While our meals were good enough they lacked finesse. And we were seated in an impossibly uncomfortable space wedged between two doors — one leading to the kitchen and the other into the main dining room. We wish the new owners well as they seek to attract a new clientele. We won’t be returning to the Duck any time soon.

Fancy and interesting byo menu. Red snapper with corn crab salsa and avocado mousse. Chilled crab bisque. Salted caramel ice cream over peach and cherry cobbler with a caramel drizzle. I found the duck tasteless but enjoyed everything else.

The Good: Cozy atmosphere, easy to find, free parking. The Bad: We ordered a steak with potatoes and asparagus served with arugula and balsamic vinaigrette dressing and we ordered the salmon. The salmon was great and is the reason for one of the two stars. The steak was luke-warm and the asparagus was cold. The potatoes were the only hot food on the plate. The server offered to get me a new serving but I didn't want to wait for it. He didn't charge us for my meal which is the reason for the other star. The kitchen's timing was poor; the food should have come out hot altogether. The staff was not warm or friendly. Our server was pleasant, but the prices and ratings had my expectations higher. It was pretty tight in the dining room and noisy. Seating is kind of on top of eachother.

The food is amazing along with the service. We had the orange almond salad, lobster bisque, lamb chops, halibut and flourless chocolate cake. We highly recommended The Black Duck

Friendly service and delicious food. Definitely recommend 😁

We tried this restaurant on a whim and they did not disappoint. I had the most delicious crab cakes and my BF had the halibut special, which was fantastic, sauces for each were equally complimentary. We also enjoyed the creme brulee and bread pudding. Service was good, as well. Missed the 5 stars, the seating was a little tight at our table; i felt as if i were sitting between 2 people at the 4-top behind me.

sat outside on a saturday night! beautiful restaurant, all staff were extremely welcoming, kind, and efficient. owner greeted us at the door before our meal. food was to die for, got appetizer, dinner, and dessert!! gave us a cute postcard at the end of our meal! will absolutely return next time we are in cape may!!

We have dined here at least 10 times and it never disappoints. Always great service and the food is fantastic and always consistent.

We get take out pretty often and it’s always a 10. Online ordering is super simple and the food is always piping hot! Prices are unbeatable. Last night, we had the gnocchi, chicken parm and lasagna. Everyone loved what they got! Thank you for being consistent and always good!

One of the best Italian food you can have. We were party of 9 with 3 children. They accommodated us and gave us great service. Food was delicious too! Will certainly visit again.

I’ve eaten here many times in the past, but tonight’s meal was a total fumble. I guess everyone’s doing the same thing now, downsizing portions along with quality but raising prices. We’re done here. Overpriced and just not worth it anymore. Chicken parmigiana was an embarrassment, tonight’s seafood special had flavor, but consisted of pasta and two small scallops and two shrimp. Shameful when you have to do things like this. When you have to eat a turkey sandwich two hours after leaving a restaurant? There’s a problem. “The new norm.”

Finally found this place as the sign outside is small and luckily saw an advertisement with a high rating. The food is delicious with large servings and bread for the table. Our visit was so much more enjoyable because our server Carlee was very sweet and friendly! We will be back next September!

Was looking for authentic Italian food and sad to say this place was not that. Almost all of our dishes were so dry that we went through three bottles of water just to get the food down. I had the Rigatoni Country Style, the pasta and chicken were so over cooked you could not swallow them without water. My wife ordered the Capellini Carbonara ( frozen peas ) and the pasta was so stuck together you could pick up the whole bowl with just one fork. Kids ordered the veal Mediterranean and Chicken piccata and both were ok. Service was nonexistent and the place was half full and so loud you couldn’t hear anything your table guests were saying. If this is what locals consider authentic Italian food, then they should really take a ride to NY were authentic Italian restaurants make their own pasta and use seasonings in all of their sauces. Would recommend the Olive Garden over this restaurant.

This has been a great addition to the Cape May community. I enjoy their big chicken salad sandwich and coffee. The shop has a great selection of cheeses and speciality oils, and the owners are eager to please. They have a spacious sit down area where they host community events, like watercolor painting and cheese tastings. They've been open year-round, unlike a lot of other local shops. Any place that enriches the community is an asset.

We love this little cheese shop! We visit every time we are in or around Cape May. The staff is wonderful and knowledgeable. Samples of any cheese are always available upon request. Definitely a place to stop if you like cheese. Also try the hot pickles, they are out of this world.

This place is awesome! If I could give it six stars, I would. My wife and I reserved the place for a cheese tasting one evening--we brought our own bottle of wine and got to choose cheese from 3 different countries. After that, the cheese (and crackers, almonds, fig spread, etc.) flowed freely. Overall, a "private tasting" here is one of the best things you could possibly do in Cape May.

OM goodness!!! So So So good!!! We had the plain grilled cheese of the day (I can't remember what it was but wish I could), the special of the day (Strawberry festival meant strawberries, brie, and nutella were on the menu), and finally, chicken salad. Can't wait to go back and try something else. And, lunch was under $25 total. Well worth the stop!! Would definitely recommend!!!

Best selection of fine cheeses around, not to mention the gorgeous olives, breads, plates and so many other tempting goodies! And, of course, the always helpful, always patient sales staff make it a shopping pleasure. Definitely 5 stars.

Enjoyed the Friday special 5 cheese mac n cheese and also the chef's choice cheese plate. Grapes, almonds, mini toasts, and always delicious assorted cheeses - awesome! It's part of our "must-visits" whenever we're in Cape May.

Great assortment of cheese from around the world sold by finger depth chunks. Hot food was well cooked. Egg, cheese, and sausage on a really fresh ciabatta roll was huge and tasty. And the mac and cheese was not overly creamy but had a mild bite to it with al dente pasta. Chicken corn chowder had well balanced seasoning. We couldn't leave without getting some cheese chunks to take home. Very reasonably priced for the outstanding quality.

Stopped in for coffee and ended up having lunch inside. The people working were so friendly and helpful. The muffins are excellent. We had a Pistachio muffin which was awesome. Ham and cheese sandwich. We also bought some candy. They have a wide selection, a lot of which most stores do not carry. If you're in the area and are looking for breakfast, lunch, or meats for a BBQ this is a place that should be at the top of the list.

Westside Market is a reliable little gem offering solid sandwiches and a surprisingly wide variety of prepared foods, snacks, and essentials. It’s an easy and convenient option—especially if you’re heading to the beach. The sandwiches are fresh, perfect for a no-fuss picnic or casual lunch. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the vibe is laid-back. A great go-to for beach days, road snacks, or stocking up on a few local favorites. Definitely worth a stop when you’re in town.

Westside Market is a great little spot in Cape May. My wife and I stopped in and had the chicken cutlet and the chicken salad sandwiches, along with a few drinks. Both were delicious, the service was excellent, and the market itself was clean and charming. It feels like the kind of place locals are lucky to have, with milk, eggs, meats, and other essentials in stock, plus a nice variety of sandwiches and snacks. A convenient and tasty stop that we’d happily return to.

I went here on back to back to back days while on vacation. The food is so good! Get the seeded roll! The staff was so friendly as well! Highly recommend!

Phenomenal salad !!! 🥗 so good! Always go to Westside for meats and cheesesteaks but had no idea their salads were also perfection. Also highly recommend ordering a hoagie tray from here for your next large gathering.

Some of the best hoagies I have ever had. They hit the spot for lunch on the beach. Their breakfast is also delicious. I recommend ordering online ahead of time to avoid a long wait.

Thanks to everyone at Westside Market that catered our party this past weekend. The food was delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. You made our party extra special. Thank you so much for your great food service, and for your contribution to our community.

Soild brunch spot in Cape May! Even with a 45 min wait, the experience was totally worth it. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff was welcoming, and the food delivered big on flavor. The corned beef hash was the highlight—crispy, tender, and deliciously seasoned. Breakfast potatoes were spot-on too. Portions were reasonable, and the chicken salad croissant was a pleasant surprise in both size and taste. Highly recommend for a laid-back, tasty brunch!

Not as impressive as expected This restaurant offers a wide variety of breakfast options, so I had high hopes. I ordered the Brussels sprouts fritters, but they didn’t taste as good as I expected. There was still a strong, unpleasant green taste from the vegetables, and honestly, I don’t think deep-frying works well for this dish. I also tried the award-winning cupcake, but it was just average—nothing special. The pancakes were underwhelming too; I’ve had better at other places, despite all the hype in the reviews. The orange juice was supposed to be freshly squeezed, but I couldn’t tell if it actually was. It tasted overly sweet and artificial, more like something with added sugar than real juice. The one dish I did enjoy was the eggs Benedict—the thick-cut bacon made it really satisfying, and that plate was the highlight of my meal. Overall, it’s a place you could try, but you’re not missing out if you don’t. There are definitely better breakfast spots in the city.

Fruit flies fruit flies. if you close the does an turn the air conditioner on it will keep them dormant . Had breakfast here the day before, eggs a pancake were good enough so came back the next night for dinner. What a mistake. I had both specials massaged kale and couscous ok, the monkfish etouffee flavorless But the real reason for the review is the chicken breast with the cream jus. Cold dry chicken that was definitely a day old. Are waitress Joanna was the only bright spot of this place . Honest, polite, courteous It’s a shame she had to apologize for the food and the flies . Don’t fall for the FAKE Reviews

Highlight: ✨️Orange Almond French Toast✨️ One of the best flavored French toasts I've ever had! No reservations, walked up and were given a buzzer with 1.5 hour wait time. Told by staff to come back to area 45 min after receiving buzzer. We were ready and seated within 10 min of coming back (50-55 min total wait). Service was good. Food arrived after a short wait (we were very hungry so it felt longer than it was) All requests were accommodated quickly and food was well made.

Yummy food! The Crousade was delicious and the Orange/Almond French toast hit the spot. I’m only knocking one star off because my friend’s latte was disappointing. Everything else was pretty great and would definitely recommend for a tasty breakfast spot.

Pleasant brunch spot in Cape May - we did wait almost an hour for a party of 2 on a Saturday morning (no reservations accepted for breakfast). The inside is airy and bright, feels like a boutique and very clean. The food was good, especially the corned beef hash. Worth trying if up for the wait.

Great food, great staff. Been coming here for years now and I'll keep coming back. Love the Croustade breakfast. Picture of the mango mimosa after a few sips. Try the MANmosa. ITS FANTASTIC!! If you're in Cape May, this place is a must.

Crazy place, stopped by for a cup of regular coffee to go, no frills, no nothing... small cup of Folgers .... set me back ... $4!!!!! Incredible how the some businesses ovetcharge. One place i will definitely NOT go back to.

We love it here! Great value for money, great food. We've sampled both breakfast and lunch, both are great! Breakfast has standard offerring and some more creative items (limoncello French toast). Lunch brings out more of a Mediterranean flavor. The Gyro is flavorful and hearty for example. Everything well seasoned, nothing bland, portions not stingy, service is pleasant. Cash only I believe. Someone mentioned its a hidden gem and I agree, its unassuming. Actually quite refreshing in comparison to other cape may restaurants.

I visited Cape May this weekend for the first time since my Coast Guard graduation in 2022 and decided to have breakfast at George’s Place with my wife. Unfortunately, the experience reminded me that racism still exists, even in places that promote hospitality. From the moment we sat down, the only interaction we had with our waiter and waitress was to order, receive the food, and pay the bill. They never checked if everything was okay, never offered refills, and completely ignored us the entire time. Meanwhile, every other table around us, filled with white customers, received attentive and friendly service. When I finally asked for more coffee, the waiter (with an Italian accent or similar) brought it with a bad attitude, spilled some, and didn’t bother to clean it. After paying, I chose not to leave a tip because of the poor treatment, and the same waiter (Italian accent) followed me outside, confronting me and saying it was “disrespectful” not to tip, even though his service was clearly intentional and unprofessional. The food itself was great, but the service was by far the worst I’ve ever experienced. Being followed outside over a tip after being ignored during the meal was unacceptable. It’s sad that in 2025, this kind of behavior still happens. To my fellow Coasties and anyone who values respect, think twice before supporting a place that treats people differently based on how they look or speak. Racism is real. Thank you to the male waiter (with an Italian accent) for reminding me of that today, October 25, 2025, between 10:45 a.m. and 11:50 a.m.

Small little breakfast spot Cape May that you won't regret going to. We normally go to Uncle Bill's, but I wanted to try something new on this place did not disappoint. Everything we had was a great spin on breakfast, as well has having the classics.

We have had dinner here several times in the past and it was excellent. Today I was the first time for breakfast and it was great- beautiful luxury teas, high end jam and a generously portioned Norwegian Smoked Salmon platter. It felt like breakfast and lunch combined - served with a toasted bagel over a generous bed of greens and the best olive oil I have ever tasted. This is not a diner in the traditional sense with an all day menu. I consider it a restaurant open for three different meal times, each with their own upscale menu.

We love all the George’s places haven’t hit wildwood yet but we will. You can count on the consistency throughout the different spots. I always get the gyro it was just as good here as the other spots the platter. Ones with a healthy portion of potatoes like a fries chip but they are delicious either way we love them it also comes with a side of salad also a healthy portion. The management knows how to train everyone and are able to transfer the experience throughout their restaurants which I appreciate. My wife gets the salmon scramble which she loves love loves it’s a great deal. Plus they serve breakfast till like 2pm making it perfect for a breakfast person like my wife and s lunch person like myself. If you are wondering it’s definitely worth going. The one on the beach offers views of beach street which at the time we were there had the starlings murmurations flying in and out great beach diner atmosphere court.

We were looking for something different and we were thrilled to come across George's. Our server, George was awesome and added to our Great experience. The food was excellent. Super Fresh and plentiful. The Souvlaki was juicy and flavorful. The Short ribs were also excellent. Next time we BYOB

My partner and I enjoyed lovely dinner at The Big Blue Tavern located inside the beautiful Congress Hall Hotel. The rustic, old-school vibe gave it a cozy charm, and the location couldn’t be better- right in the heart of Cape May. We took advantage of their Restaurant Week deal ($50 per person) which was a solid value. The food was delicious. I started with the fried calamari, crispy and well-seasoned—followed by the chicken with mashed potatoes, which was tender and satisfying. My partner loved the steak and frites, cooked just right. The apple pie for dessert was a classic, sweet ending. Service was good friendly and efficientand the overall experience made it the best dinner of our Cape May trip.

My family and I stopped by the Blue Pig for an early dinner and had such a wonderful experience. We didn’t have a reservation and were a big party but they got us seated outside like we requested. It was so beautiful outside. The service was great. The parker rolls were excellent! We ordered a bunch of different entrees and they were all excellent! So happy we stopped by here and will be sure to come again next time.

We stopped at the Blue Pig Tavern for dinner after having drinks and bang bang shrimp outside in the famous rocking chairs at Congress Hall. We decided to eat outside in order to enjoy the gorgeous September evening. The atmosphere was perfection. The food and service left a little bit to be desired. The place was not overly crowded, but our waitress was not very attentive, as we sat with empty water and glasses, waiting for our wine. Given the prices, I was hoping for a better experience.

Went here for lunch, got the steak frites, the turkey bacon avocado sandwhich and sangria. Steak frites was on the money, I wish I had a better picture but I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. This steak could easily compete with a top rated steakhouse. The sandwhich was really good, fries were perfect, and the salad was good too. I cant say the same fornthe sangria, it wasn't for me but I did try it, it seemed to lack authenticity. Dropped in a few pieces of fruit and some red wine with a spritz of something from a bar soda gun (grenadine or maybe cranberry). Not horrible but not too good.

We had a fantastic dinner at The Blue Pig Tavern in Cape May and honestly can’t understand why this place isn’t rated higher. From the start, the fresh rolls and butter were out of this world, seriously some of the best we’ve had anywhere. We shared the lobster mac and cheese and calamari appetizers, and both were outstanding. The portions were generous, especially for a resort town, and the lobster mac was packed with meat, at least four full claws plus more throughout. For entrees, I had the gnocchi alla sorrentina (which was rich and perfectly cooked), my wife had the fish and chips (crispy and light), and our kids devoured the burger and mac and cheese off the kids’ menu. Every dish hit the mark, flavorful, fresh, and well-executed. On top of that, our server Laura was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend The Blue Pig, great food, great value, great service!

Attached to Congress Hall, this is a dining must when visiting or staying in Cape May. Much of their food is sourced from their other property, Beach Plum Farm, in West Cape May. We stopped in for lunch and were very impressed with both of our meals. The lobster roll was moist and delicious and the superfood bowl with salmon was also a great choice. They provide indoor or outdoor dining weather permitting.

We just arrived home from a week stay in Cape May. We had our breakfast at The Blue Pig five out of the seven days. The ice coffee is beyond perfection, each meal was delicious, along with great service. The female manger was so welcoming/happy, gifted my child a pig sticker each day and knew where we preferred to dine. Was very enjoyable and relaxing, we definitely will be back. My six year old who is a very picky eater enjoyed her variety of meals as well. The only restaurant who didn't clear my meal/drink when dinning as a solo parent with a small child. Thank you for the hospitality!!

We have been here multiple times over the past few years, and the food and service are always above and beyond. Danny has been our server the last two times we have been here and he remembered us and even where we sat the last time. We came today to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary while in Cape May. We are from Pittsburgh so we are only here once a year or so. We always make a point to stop here for dinner while vacationing in CM. The food is always delicious but the service is more so what keeps us coming back. I can’t speak highly enough about this restaurant. If you’re looking for fine dining while in Cape May, this is the place to go. Thank you, Tisha’s, for always making us feel special!

Came here for dinner for my cousins bachelorette weekend. Love a great BYOB and this place came highly reccomended. Service was great and food was phenomenal. Would definitely go back if I go back to that area. The calamari was EXCELLENT, burrito a peach salad was ok, the peaches weren't ripe so that was a little underwhelming. The Halibut that had on special was incredible, so fresh and cooked perfectly. The filet was delicious but the peppercorn(in my opinion) was a little too much to my liking. The seafood risotto was very flavorful and cooked perfectly as well. The gnocchi was great too.

This is a great option while walking or shopping at a famous Washington Street promenade in Cape May. We sat down in the back yard of the restaurant and it was great. Loved the food. Service was efficient and pretty quick. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Went off season for lunch. There was no wait and they were able to accommodate our stroller outside. (They had heaters so even though it was a little chilly we were super comfortable.) We shared a Cesar salad and my husband had the salmon po'boy. The fish was cooked perfectly. I had the scallops and risotto. It was a smaller portion, only 4 scallops, but I think it is technically an appetizer, and actually it was the perfect portion for me. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the people watching. Service was very attentive and not rushed at all.

Tisha’s is always reliable and delicious. We enjoyed the halibut and a Thai style chili salmon with shrimp. Beautiful setting, sitting outside, with exceptional service. Reservations recommended.

Tisha’s offers fine quality meals and wine served in a cozy and friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly outside in back patio. I got the bolognese which was great.

Very romantic place for dinner. We had lobster bisque and it was excellent! My chicken pasqual was really good. My husband had the pork chop with apples and it was cooked to perfection. The gnocchi was terrible. Gummy and tough. Our server was ok, got the job done but no warmth at all. Overall it was a great dinner and we would go back.

This is an amazing place for a beach getaway. The staff are friendly and accommodating and they always try to honor requests. Our room was on the 4th floor with an ocean view. It was neat, clean and nicely furnished. The Blue Pig restaurant on site was awesome. The skillet for breakfast was my favorite. Carrot juice was delish. Its best to get there early as it gets packed fast. Congress Hall is super close to restaurants and shops and walking is the best way to navigate everything. The beach is across the street and they provide towels and beach chairs and umbrellas. You can even order food and beverages on the beach was was very affordable. There's a nice pool which is usually heated.

Love this place! The grounds were absolutely beautiful. Luxurious and spotless room. Friendly and helpful staff. We also had dinner at the Blue Pig Tavern. So delicious! Congress Hall is legendary for good reason!

Spa's desk person, Evette was absolutely wondeful. We didn't stay there but family member got a message. The spa was wonderful and steam room was added treat. The hotel could put the LOUD birthday parties not right outside spa windows (or get noise stopping windows!)

The Congress Hall with the outdoor restaurant is the best place to relax and have lunch, dinner or just a glass of wine in Cape May. I've been coming here for lunch for over 20 years. The outdoor restaurant surrounded by beautiful flowers is stunning. You can watch special events and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. I feel like on vacation every time I come here. My favorite dishes are the egg omelets, fresh salads and desserts. They have the best key lime pie and creme brulee in Cape May. The service is excellent. Highly recommend the outdoor restaurant.

Was a relaxing stay at a historical location. We were there on a group bus tour. The rooms were nice, bedding was cozy. We had delicious meals. The staff were friendly and accommodating

We came to Congress Hall for brunch on Mother's Day. It definitely didn't disappoint. Walking into the hotel felt like we were in a Ralph Lauren ad. The ambiance was truly spectacular. The room was decorated beautifully, and there was piano music being played in the background. That was such a nice touch. It was very relaxing. All the mother's were given a rose when they arrived. The food was all exceptional...everything was so good. We tried almost everything! The attention to detail is what sets this apart from other places. It really is all about the experience, and Congress Hall definitely does not disappoint. We have been raving about all of this since we left. It really is the place to go!

I love Congress Hall - the amenities, the location, the spa, the pool, the beach service is all 5 stars. This is a Perry Suite at the Congress Place Suites specific review. Location is ideal if you want to be situated in the center of it all! It’s on the Washington St Mall, across the street from Congress Hall, a short walk to the beach, walking distance to countless restaurants, shopping and activities. However, minus one star for the noise. It’s loud. You will hear all the buzz all night long. Even with the sound machine we placed on the window sill. The Perry Suite is great if you are looking for a home away from home. It has space and the convenience of all full kitchen. So why just a one star review? The shower was a huge inconvenience our entire vacation and was never addressed after making concierge aware. The shower head points directly out of the shower door and was not adjustable to point down or away from the door. Even with the door “closed” (see pictures), puddles and puddles of water continuously leaks out onto the shower floor. The Perry Suite is designed with families in mind. We had 4 people in my family taking daily showers. ALL the towels in the bathroom then needed to be utilized to mop up the large puddles of water on the bathroom floor. I messaged the concierge about the issue and they told me maintenance would come but same exact shower head remained in the shower so not sure what was accomplished. We were so frustrated with the situation that I had my kids shower at the outdoor pool showers so I didn’t have to spend as much time cleaning up the bathroom floor while on vacation. Additionally, the suite did not come with a shampoo bottle or a shower cap. We got 2 bottles of body wash and 1 conditioner. I asked concierge for shampoo and a shower cap. Only received shampoo the next day. Lastly, the bedroom. Although cutely decorated and very comfy, the windows need blackout shades. The street lights kept us awake (along with the street noise) each night. The shades on the windows let in too much light, even at night. Upon check out, we did speak to the front desk about the issues with the Perry Suite. Front Desk said they would file our complaint. Never heard back and it’s been over a week. Received an online survey, filled it out explaining all the issues with the stay, asked for the general manager to call me. Never heard back. I’m disappointed to say the least. As a repeat guest, I expected more. We have stayed at Congress Hall and the Virginia in the past and both times loved our vacation. The price point for the Perry Suite is too high to be mopping up the bathroom floor with towels each time someone takes a shower. Blackout shades, shampoo and shower caps are also standard in 4 star hotels. A manager reaching out to a disappointed guest to make things right is customary and makes customers truly feel like guests. I hope they take surveys and google reviews seriously to avoid more unhappy guests in the Perry Suite in the future.

We had a great time on this boat tour. The crew were very informative. We saw many dolphins. I love these boat rides that take you out to the ocean and teach you about the marine life. You'll surely enjoy this boat ride. We did the 3 hour afternoon ride.

We had an amazing journey around the island! Between seeing a single dolphin before we even left the harbor, seeing a large pod of dolphins with all of the information that goes with them (courtesy of Director of Research Melissa L.), and the geographic information provided, this was an excursion that I did not know that I needed. I highly recommend you skip the other tours and go with Cape May whale watch and research center.

Our trip aboard The American Star was just awesome. What a great sunset cruise we had. Families, couples and singles would enjoy the relaxation of the ocean but also hearing from the naturalist about the various dolphins & birds. Amazing price, something to do while you’re visiting the Cape. A great time was had by both of us.

8.2.25• our first whale watch cruise• Today was amazing 👏 there were SO many dolphins with their babies 🥹 and one that was just born!! Baby dolphins are born with a dark coloration, often appearing almost black! Which I just learned 🙃 + jelly fish & a 10'+ giant manta ray jumped out of the water twice! No whales this time. We can't wait to do this adventure again! 🐋🐬🌊🐚🦞💦🦈 Fresh, clean, beautiful boat. Food, drinks, bathrooms & gift shop on board! Thank you, to the crew for an awesome & educational time! -Eric, Jessica, Aubrey & Roman 🌞

Very nice & knowledgeable staff. We were able to see dolphins & birds. Unfortunately we couldn't see whales during our trip (better luck next time). The staff conducted multiple informative sessions for kids onboard. They also showed the importance of keeping away ocean waste when we saw a couple of birthday balloons floating on the ocean surface & they collected it with their tools. Free parking onsite. Groupon purchase is cheaper than purchasing tickets via their website. Please call them & reserve with the redemption code from Groupon.

We had an amazing time. The company, the staff deserve 5 stars and no less The crew on board was polite, esp the guide was providing a running commentary about all important sights and buildings The girls in the booth were super sweet and polite Our ticket included pizza & hot dog , but the boat canteen/Cafe charged everybody 2$ for it Us too I told the girls while on the boat, they immediately solved it by giving us good refund The bad part: the man running the food kiosk CALLED me while I was sitting on upper deck, he yelled - YOURE LYING!! I DIDNT CHARGE YOU , COMPLETE LIE. No no no no you lie! I told him- keep the money it wasn't about 2$ anyways and for threw people we just "bought" one pizza slice We didnt need the money or food The ship company are more than generous and cooperative, the cafe person was horribly rude But the sunset, the dolphins, the view made up more than for it Will definitely come back

We did the sunset dolphin watch tour. Such a good time. Saw plenty of dolphins and landmarks around Wildwood Crest and Cape May. Tons of birds also. Very friendly and informative crew. Highly recommend.

The Brown Room is an excellent, well designed cocktail bar that used to be among my favorite bars anywhere but definitely the best in Cape May. When I first started coming here years ago you needed a reservation and there was an element of exclusivity which enhanced the experience. It was a relaxing top tier atmosphere with live music and excellent cocktails. They seem to have significantly softened on the reservation / entry policies and the place has become a free for fall. Tons of kids at times which I don’t feel is appropriate for this setting- all the other dining areas in Congress Hall are much more kid friendly. It’s often too crowded and they seem to have done away with reservations altogether even for Congress Hall guests which I can’t understand. The cocktails are still great as are the bartenders and the live entertainment but the overall experience has been really disappointing of late. I would really consider going back to a reservation based system and having some level of crowd control.

Always a nice time in the Brown Room! Although it's very hard to get in, we sometimes get lucky & get seats. I love listening to the music, enjoying a cocktail & sometimes something to eat. Recently I enjoyed the cheese/charcuterie plate. Service is good. I remember this place used to take reservations & they no longer do. Perhaps they should go back to that so that everyone gets a chance to get in there as some people camp out there for hours! The interior is so lovely!

Bar was excellent!! Live music & bartender, Sandy? I think her name was’ super nice! Told us about the boiler room- my fiancé and I had a great time!

We stopped in the Brown Room for a quick bite to eat and a couple of cocktails. We arrived at brunch time, and didn't want to wait for the full restaurant, so we slipped in here, and we were not disappointed!! Fantastic cocktails, and delicious lobster rolls!! Highly recommend a visit!

Had a great time relaxing by the fire I'm the brown room. Comfortable seating and life music really set the mood. Had some delicious Old Fashioneds and my wife enjoyed the apple pie

Phenomenal drinks and the setting is top tier. Make sure you stop by and grab you an evening beverage. Picked both of these from the brown room originals menu and they were both top tier.

We want this past Sunday 12/8 around 5PM hoping to have a couple of drinks and hummus. We walk in and it was a free for all. The 5 or 6 tables to the left had no one sitting on them but stuff all over them from families with kids. A lady with a badge on who was standing there just turned away not even thinking to help us. Congress Hall is a great property but The Brown Room which was once a civilized place to relax and have a drink will not see me ever again. I realize thru probably don’t even care but if you are reading this think twice about a visit. Plenty of other places in Cape May to go.

Overall, pretty good! They have a full bar, but you can BYOB! But it is a $40 “open” charge per bottle of wine… The drink menu has everything, be mindful it’s very expensive. The NY Strip was great! Cooked exactly how it was requested. The Rack of Lamb entree was great too! Not disappointed at all. The Dover Filet was OK, but there should be more of a ‘starch’ to make it a complete meal. They overhauled it with green beans, but adding potatoes to it would’ve made it better. The Cape May Scallops entree was also pretty good but feels like it’s missing something. You have to buy rolls for the table & it only comes out with 1 roll per person… The atmosphere was OK; waitress was very nice & attentive. It just wasn’t ‘so good’ that I’d go back. The food did come out very quick! I’m glad we tried it, but wasn’t worth it. Not to mention I got 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream for dessert and that little scoop in the photo was $10… It was a $300 tab that didn’t include the $40 open charge. Seems a bit pricey for what we got.

Came here during a fantastic week in Cape May in late July & this was one of the evenings we randomly walked around looking for a spot. I've come to appreciate open bar sitting when there are no reservations. We had a lovely meal, the bartender & staff were fully on point & the piano player was fantastic. Good food, great drinks & a very full restaurant that never felt loud or crowded. Love Ebbit & hope to go back on a future trip!

Our reservation was for 6:45pm... we went early to have a drink in the porch which was so pleasant- a comfy couch and horse and buggy making loops... I checked in and the host immediately said Happy Anniversary (my wife had noted in the reservation). We were seated and greeted with a champagne toast for our anniversary!!! Danica our server was fantastic and the food was honestly perfect!!! We started with the Calamari app as well as the Cut Pasta and Crab app- 2 of the best apps I have ever enjoyed! I got the NY Strip- which will be my standard meal there moving forward! I loved the mushroom gravy and the zucchini couldn't have been better! My wife got the Scallops and they were succulent for sure! We wrapped sharing the Blueberry Tartlet... all I can say is WOW!!! What an experience! ENJOY!!!

This is the most quintessential cocktail lounge/ restaurant in the city of cape may. The casual environment makes you feel like you're not just going to have to stand and wait outside; they welcome you to enjoy very comfortable areas of the hotel, inside and out. A cocktail waitress or waiter walks around serving the areas outside of the dining area giving you an opportunity to enjoy your wait, so much that you might want to just hang around the cocktail areas and skip the restaurant.... but I would not reccomend skipping the restaurant. The food is prepared exceptionally with detail in the display and quality in each dish. It was very hard to choose from the items on the menu because everything sounded so good, I decided it was best to just order several different appetizers and 2 main dishes to split. EVERYTHING was perfect, from the taste, the smell, to the atmosphere. This will be my first choice of restaurant the next time I return to cape may.

It's a wonderful place but packed like sardines and very loud. The food however, is top notch, delicious cocktails, and great service. Having a more expansive kids menu would have been helpful. Had to pay 60 for kids meals is a bit pricey. It was steak but for kids....

We came here for dinner with my friend, and everything was absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we had the tempura calamari and mussels. For our entrées, I ordered the Cape May scallops, and my friend got the rainbow fish. I tried a bite of hers too it was just as amazing. The only downside about the Cape May scallops was that the other flavors slightly overpowered the risotto, so I couldn’t fully taste it. Our server, Ksenija, was super accommodating and welcoming. Overall, a 10/10 experience!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beautiful dining room, great cocktails, excellent appetizer and entree options. The lighting is beautiful. The staff is accommodating. A dinner spot that feels truly special. Not my favorite dessert but will try again :)

We come from a former USSR country (Uzbekistan) and grew up watching American movies where diners often appeared. For us, they’ve always been associated with America — with cozy family gatherings over Sunday breakfast. And this diner turned out to be exactly that for us. It was cozy and comfortable. The atmosphere is a solid 10 out of 10. Even the waitresses — their style and overall vibe — reminded me of girls from the 70s. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but I really loved that. Their menu is very extensive. The freshly squeezed orange juice was divine, although a bit pricey — but that’s expected for fresh juices. The service was excellent. I was very happy with our waitress. It’s nice when staff proactively let you know about things like the strawberries on the pancakes being frozen rather than fresh. That’s totally fine, but I’m sure it could matter to some people. For example, I changed my mind after that and went with the blueberry pancakes instead. And they were amazing. I even took the leftovers with me to our room and enjoyed them again in the evening. I also highly recommend the sweet potato fries. The only thing that wasn’t great was the coffee. It tasted like it was too diluted and not strong enough. Another downside for me was the strong smell in the women’s restroom. I always pay attention to the cleanliness of restrooms in restaurants — to me, it’s also a reflection of the overall quality of the place. However I understand how hard it may be for the staff to keep restrooms fresh throughout the day in such a busy place.

I had such a great experience at Uncle Bill’s Pancake House in Cape May. The location is perfect — just steps away from the beach, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, and parking is convenient, which makes the visit even easier. For food, I ordered the Cape May Plate, Eggs Benedict, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, along with sides of smoked bacon, smoked ham, and avocado. Everything was delicious! The pancakes were fluffy and full of flavor, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the sides were fresh and tasty. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and put care into every dish. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole meal even more enjoyable. Service was quick, and everyone was welcoming with a smile, which added to the positive experience. Overall, Uncle Bill’s Pancake House is definitely worth visiting if you’re in Cape May. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great location near the ocean — I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Love having breakfast here everytime we visit Cape May. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to be seated but it's worth the waiting. I love the pecan pancakes (gluten free menu). Always fresh and delicious. Also the veggie omelet.

I went to NJ last month and wanted to try famous pancakes from Uncle Bill. We ordered lots of thing there; Cape may plate w/ pork chop, egg omelet w/ toasts, eggs benedict and chocolate chip pancakes. They were so good!!! And the servers were very nice and welcoming us.

I have been coming here for years. Since 2004. The food is always good. It is a simple and comfortable place to eat your meal. Plus next to the beach. The staff is always welcoming. Portions are just right. The reason for the 4 stars is that this time everything was great until, I paid my check. Lady didn't even ask how everything was? I was trying to say to her how" I love this place. I always come here". No reaction. Just a smirk. I realize everyone has issues. Not judging that, but you represent the restaurant. Show you care. Be more personable. Be more Kind! Smile! This is only time, I experienced this. Kindness Matters. I will still eat here. Just being honest. Everyone has an off day.

This is a great place to go during the week as you can avoid the crowds. Located across the street from the Atlantic Ocean in downtown Cape May, it provides a quiet place for a great breakfast or lunch. The food and service are impeccable, and if you're looking for outstanding service, ask for Candi.

This restaurant has some booths with a view of the ocean. There are so many choices on the menu, so come hungry! I had the seasonal pumpkin pancakes which were amazing. The staff were friendly and overall the service was great.

Food: Much better pizza than I expected. Wasn't hungry going into it so when the pizza was decent it truly was. Crust was crispy, however the pizza was not overly topped. Service: Very friendly, went in for dinner. Food was prompt for ordering two pizzas and entree. Atmosphere: standard Italian restaurant that is used mostly for take-out pizza.

You don’t want to miss this place if you like pizza. We taste Tony’s pizza 12 years ago and returning every year since. Best in tri state area.

We just popped in for late lunch and the place was empty. the decor was old and unkept. The restroom was shabby at best. The whole place just looked like they forgot to clean it for a long time inside. The service was fast, (no other customers) and the food was Ok I got a buffalo chicken cheesteak which was hot and buffalo. Not afraid to be buffalo hot! I liked it and shared some too. The basket of cheese fries was enough for 3 and were good too. Cheese diping sauce on the side was a litttle unusual and we ran out half way through the basket. It was a fast hit and run with decent food but lacked tourist ambiance.

They have really good pizza. Came here since it was close to the dock for whale watching. It is an affordable place to eat. And the pizza was one of the best ive had. The place was clean and quite. They were open early. They also provided pizza on the boat we were in. I really like the location too. Its right by the water, just a short walk across the street. Will definitly come back if we ever in the area.

We came in on a slow, off-season, Monday night with our family. The servers were so friendly and our family felt right at home. We ordered pizza, which was delicious, and a Stromboli (also delicious) but our favorite was the Greek salad. Everything was so fresh and nothing about it was skimpy. Even my 3 year old could not get enough of the salad!

I was visiting CM and a friend recommended this place for pizza. The pizza was delicious along with the mozzarella sticks. Decent prices too. We couldn't eat our pizza for it was huge

Showed up as they were closing, after coming in late by boat due to poor seas. They were kind enough to make us a pizza and salad to-go. Can't thank them enough for helping us out. On top of that the food was really good!

I loved visiting the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum. The huge WWII-era hangar is impressive on its own, and it’s filled with many fascinating airplanes and helicopters, piston and jet engines, with more to see outside too. The exhibits are interactive, you can sit in cockpits, explore vehicles, and even try simulators which makes it fun for all ages. Everything is well cared for and presented in a way that really brings aviation history to life. A must-see in Cape May for anyone interested in planes or history.

Absolutely amazing aviation museum. The place is big, clean, and has many different aircrafts. The staff is super friendly and the gift shop is well stocked. We liked it so much that we visited twice over the summer despite having an over 2 hour drive to get there. And we will be back whenever we are in the area.

First time visiting this aviation museum and I've been to many. Walking into the hanger brought back memories as I haven't been in one in twenty years when I was working on my A&P certificates. Good parking out, line into the gift shop to buy tickets was fast and everything went smoothly. My family and I were there as they were setting up for the airshow the next car and it was ok to go through the hanger/out given the movement of tables, etc. Nice array of aircraft throughout the years. Seeing the classics put a smile on my face even with the kids wanting to go home haha. The gift shop had a good selection of things to buy and the staff was friendly. (thank you for your patience with my son moving those big plastic toy bins around in front of the counter so he could stay occupied). Next time I'm down at the cape I will visit again.

This museum is fantastic! It boasts an impressive collection of aircraft that you can approach and get a sense of their size and the challenges faced by pilots. The museum comprehensively covers the entire history of Hanger 1 and the airport. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, informative, and helpful. It’s an excellent place to visit!

Our son came home from university with several of his fellow Navy ROTC midshipmen for this past Columbus holiday weekend/fall break! The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum and Flight Deck Diner were two must do activities! The NASW Aviation Museum is a phenomenal memorial and destination for everyone! Having been born and raised in Cape May County, my pride and love of our communities is strong! Celebrating the U. S. Navy’s 250th birthday on the exact day made the visit even more powerful! Bethany and Pat in the gift shop/ticket counter greeted us with a smile and warm welcome! Dr. Joe Salvatore and his wife Annie’s legacy and dedication to this very vital and historical landmark for Cape May County is truly felt through every exhibition in the authentic WWII hangar!

Such a great time with so much to do! Food vendors, live music, fire trucks, axe throwing, interactive fun for the kids! My 3 yo was asking to go back when he woke up in the morning. Can't wait to go back.

We went to see The Longest Yarn. An exhibit of knitted pieces representing scenes from D-Day. The craftsmanship of each scene was amazing. The rest of the museum was outstanding. Covering the time period from World War II through present day military life at Wildwood Station and Cape May. Well worth the drive.

The experience was great I got the chance to take my mother who will be 90 this year and my aunt who will be 80 this year. Just to see their faces with the alpacas was worth the trip. The husband and wife team are truly wonderful people and they take good care of their adorable alpacas. They were very welcoming and friendly.

What a great experience! Tish was a great guide…my fiancé and I learned so much about the alpacas and their different personalities. The personal tour was unique and fun. Make sure to visit their gift shop! I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Cape May area. ☺️

We had a wonderful experience at Jersey Shore Alpacas. Jim was a wonderful guide – very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. We were each given a small bag of carrots to feed the alpacas, so they came right up to us. We loved learning about each of their backgrounds, personalities, and the creative origins of their names. Jim was also flexible with our booking and was happy to accommodate a last minute change, which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend a visit for families, especially if you’re looking for some non-beach activities to mix in to your trip down the shore!

We absolutely loved our visit to Jersey Shore Alpacas! It's obvious that the alpacas are extremely loved cared-for. We felt safe the entire time and were amazed by our guide's deep knowledge of alpacas. He knew how to position us to keep everyone (humans, alpacas) safe while also answering all of our questions. The alpaca gift shop is also very cute and had a lot of beautiful alpaca goods. In the end, I got some yarn to crochet with. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

I came for the tour here with my aunts and cousin and we really enjoyed it! The tour including the introductory discussion, time with the alpacas and time in the gift shop was about an hour. Tish gave us a very informative tour and helped us take fun pictures. The alpacas were so goofy and cute! I highly recommend booking this tour!

“I like the alpacas. They are very soft and cute. I will be back in the summer!” -my six year old. My family and I had a perfect visit with the Alpacas! From the information ahead of time, the introduction to the rules and expectations, the exciting and personal visits with each of the animals, to the information shared throughout, we had a very special day! I really couldn’t be more pleased with the way the owner easily adjusted to the needs of a family with 3 small children to make our visit the best it could be. Thank you!!

Jim was so informative about the Alpacas, introduced my Sissy and I to all of them, explained what to expect and educated us. You DO get to MINGEL with them, literally and instructed, educated how to approach and pet ♡Just minutes to get to from Wildwood, not heavy traffic road. Very clean, goodie bags(carrot sticks)for Alpachas provided by Jim. Excellent communication and clarity prior to visit as well. Respect is so important for everyone, Alpacas and experience. Another experience, hands on, in life. ENJOYED. Book a visit, enjoy. The TWINS. Thank you Jim.

Very nice living museum. Great staff to ask questions if you have any. Nice to wander around the historic houses, and places. Small farm out back with a horse & couple of cows. The only place that we didn't get to go in or see was the restaurant. It was closed.

This a lovely historic village where you can learn about 19th century history. There are separate buildings to visit: a blacksmith, a pottery studio, a schoolhouse, etc. Each one has a host who’ll tell you a slice of history. We especially loved the print shop and the bookbinder’s!

Great historic village. There were many historic interpreters showcasing all kinds of crafts including spinning yarn, weaving, wicker, printing, blacksmithing, tinsmithing, and bookbinding. Kyle at the print shop was very knowledgeable and communicative. The village is a reconstruction assembled from real historic buildings that have been transported to the site, so the historic education component is very general, but still locally focused. They have sheep, cows, pigs, chickens and a horse on site. The curator of the village informed us that he is a physic medium, so there is a lot of paranormal tourism incorporated into the village. They did not treat it as a gimmick or a performance. They all seemed to take it very seriously like they really believe in the ghost stories. But if you're not into that, it was pretty easy to avoid. There is a nice ice cream parlor and bakery inside the village, as well as a restaurant and brewery right outside so this area can really be a full day adventure.

Great historic interpreters. Kyle the interpreter at the print shop was great and really entertained our family! Glad we made a stop here.

Had a great time, the people working are very knowledgeable about the time period. Lots of interesting tools and a very tasty bakery.

I've rode past this place for years, never stopped. However, recently we decided to visit with family. What a pleasant surprise! I felt like I stepped back in time. Very educational, from the general store, inn, jail, school house, black Smith, etc. Each structure had someone dressed in the period and explained where Each structure came from and what the structure was used for. We even had corn on the cob, cooked on open flame and bread baked in the outside oven. There is also a welcome center and snack bar along with a bakery and ice cream store. There is a brewery which you can access in the parking area. If you rode past this place wondering what was there and never stopped, I would suggest you check it out. You'll be pleasantly surprised! There is a fee to get into the park, (not the brewery), and they do offer discounts for seniors and veterans for the park. There is also a ghost tour every Friday evening, however I believe these should be purchased in advance. You may want to call to confirm.

We visited about 2 weeks ago and were not impressed. Maybe because it was a weekday in the summer so there were no events going on. The blacksmith was closed so it was really just all bunch of old buildings. Looking at the website I expected there to be more to do. We found this listed on Bring Fido which highlights places that are dog friendly. While it is dog friendly in that you can bring your dog, you can only walk the outside grounds with them. They are not allowed in any of the buildings, not even if they are a small dog and you pick them up. For us, this meant one person could go into the building and look around and someone had to stay outside with the dog and then that person went in by themselves. We’ve been going to Cape May for 25 years and had never been here. We only went this time because we thought it was something we could do with our dog who is small, well behaved and loves to be included in things. We would never go back there again. They should not advertise themselves on Bring Fido because it’s not an accurate representation of what they offer. We paid $16 each to go through and were only there about an hour

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Charming spot with great wine and bites Cape May Winery and Vineyard is an adorable place with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. They offer a nice selection of wines — something for every palate — and the tapas were absolutely delicious. It was the perfect stop before boarding the ferry, and we left relaxed and happy. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

A south NJ shore gem. Really well done. Didn’t eat this time. Had a flight of white wine on a hot day. They were all pretty good. A fun day trip with a date or with friends.

I love Cape May Winery! It's one of my favorite places to catch up with friends, enjoy the beautiful patio & gardens, and can't forget the delicious wines and tapas! The staff is always so friendly and the atmosphere is so lovely, the love and care behind this place is clear to see!

Loved the scheduled wine tasting. Very entertaining and thorough. The wine was excellent! I didn't stay and get food and a table, but the place was very nice, just a bit busy.

CAPE MAY: we were truly charmed by Cape May Winery and, although no surprise, visiting this spot reinforced that there are great small businesses and how we really have it all here in New Jersey! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at designated areas, so check with the host to be seated. Open daily throughout the year, come for the wine made from their own farmed grapes and stay to enjoy a tapas-inspired food menu, and a stroll amongst the Napa Valley-like grounds. We really got lost in the beauty of the place and the sense of whimsy and magic. We enjoyed a bottle of one of their white wines and you can also order by the glass or in a flight for a wine tasting. There is a nice selection of varietals to choose from.

We’ve dined at wonderful establishments and had amazing food throughout our vacation, however attending the Winery’s Summer Grill Night was unforgettable. We will make it a point to reserve our spot next time we are in Cape May💖✨💕💫

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was fine. I enjoyed the tasting and sitting outside enjoying with a glass of wine and the scenery.

BEST CAKE EVER! If you need a cake for any occasion and want an exceptionally delicious chocolate cake, I HIGHLY recommend Madison’s Bakery. I ordered a half sheet cake for my daughter’s graduation and worked with Sammy to custom design it. She was SO wonderful to work with! She was attentive, responsive, and made sure every detail was perfect. The cake was chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and white frosting. Not only did we have more than enough cake for our party, but everyone was fighting over the last pieces to take home — it was truly that good! It was a cake to remember in every regard. Huge thanks to Sammy & the entire Madison’s Bakery team for making our celebration so special!

The pastries and donuts were soft and had good flavor. Definitely coming back for the Jelly donuts — should’ve brought more to bring back home. The strawberry & cheese croissants were also pretty good! The breakfast sandwiches were not bad at all — a nice quick easy grab with their coffee.

It was very good. The chocolate sprinkle donut had a fantastic inside but I wished they were more heavy on the chocolate topping. The cinnamon rolls and Boston Crème seemed to be better so I’m sad I didn’t get those but it was still really good. It’s mostly a to-go place in here. Not too many places to sit down inside but there are plenty outside.

Was in CM in July with friends for a week long vacation & had fun dropping into this bakery & enjoying all the yummy sweets. Staff is super friendly & donuts are DELISH.

Amazing fast service with a beautiful beach view! Staff is so helpful and kind. if you are gluten-free, this is the place you need to go! I’ve never had such amazing gluten-free muffin in my life, And I have been gluten-free for 20+ years! My kids are not even gluten-free and they asked me to have those muffins once they tasted mine! An absolute must when you’re down here in Cape May!!

Madison's has THE BEST gluten free muffins! Every time I'm in Cape May, I always have to get one. This time I asked for half a dozen so I could freeze them and enjoy them a little longer than usual! They were very friendly about it and happy to fill my order!

My wife and I stopped into Madison's Bakery with a last-minute request for a gender reveal cupcake, and the staff went above and beyond to make it happen! They were so kind, accommodating and worked magic to have our order ready by the following day. The cupcakes were beautiful, delicious and made our gender reveal in Cape May feel extra special. We're so grateful for their care and creativity, and we highly recommend Madison's Bakery for all special occasion baked goods!

I came for the lobster rolls. I tried the Connecticut Roll (warm and buttery). Delicious! I can't wait to try another. Highly recommend

According to chat gpt this is THE lobster roll place in Cape May… so 5 of us came for a late lunch… in the middle of shopping and dinning strip and a block away from the beach. Parking can be tricky… typical lobster roll place - no thrills hole in a wall. There are few options to pick from including lobster bisque, which my friends did try and liked. 3 rolls option - original , salad and Connecticut style. I decided to try Connecticut and Original. Nothing to complain about - fresh. Hit the spot but a star shy of 5 stars. Came with chips and a pickle. We are outside. Service was quick. Food was fresh. WATCH OUT FOR SEAGULLS - they nearly stole our food - spiraled down and literally missed it by an inch… Certainly would encourage you to try them - not too pricey… but dont expect Micheline style dining

Absolutely wonderful service and delicious food! The team here is incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly takes pride in their work. You can feel their positive energy the moment you walk in — it adds something truly special to the experience. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism — we’ll definitely be coming back. Keep up the amazing work!

Over our 3 day stay in Cape May, we ate at 7 different places. Guess which one was the best? The food here is fabulous and we came back again. Kaylee (our server) told us that the Chef is the Owner! What we appreciated was the way the Chef used the natural sea salt along with other spices. The scallops were incredible as were the vegetables- both times cooked perfectly. If you have an extended stay in Cape May, there's a good chance you will come back.

John Quincey's Original Lobster Rolls isn't your white tablecloth kind of seafood joint. It's a hidden gem tucked right on the beach, with a walk-up counter and a cluster of picnic tables for seating. Don't be fooled by the casual digs – this place serves up lobster rolls that are nothing short of legendary. The first thing that grabs you is the scent of salty air intertwining with the warm, buttery aroma of lobster. As you wait for your order, the rhythmic crash of waves serves as a constant reminder of the beautiful ocean mere steps away. The picnic tables, a riot of colors, are spread out under large umbrellas, offering shade and the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking ocean views. Now, let's talk about the main event: the lobster roll. They pile incredibly fresh lobster meat high onto a toasted, buttered roll. It's generosity personified – overflowing goodness in every bite. Each mouthful is a burst of sweet, succulent lobster bathed in a decadent, clarified butter that enhances the natural sweetness of the seafood perfectly. The roll itself is toasted to a golden perfection, providing a satisfying textural contrast to the tender lobster. The quality of the ingredients is undeniable, and the care they put into crafting each roll shines through. John Quincey's Original Lobster Rolls is the epitome of a relaxed, beachy lunch experience. You get delicious, overflowing portions of fresh seafood, stunning ocean views, and the calming sound of the waves – all at a price that won't break the bank. It's the perfect spot to unwind, savor the taste of the ocean, and indulge in a truly incredible lobster roll.

A $20 snack. So delicious but is not dinner material. Atmosphere was amazing, we went around 6pm. The weather was amazing with a little breeze and near sunset. Would recommend if you want a quick snack or before dinner.

Small, but it’s only $20 for a lobster roll and they offer a deal on 4 rolls. Outside seating only, with some sun protection but not a lot. I had the Connecticut roll which was served warm, the bun was crispy, buttered and soft. Food was prepared relatively quick.

We recently dined at Washington Inn and were seated in the wine cellar, a small and cozy space with just three tables. It's a unique, intimate setting that some may find charming, though it might not be for everyone. If you're looking for a quiet, tucked-away experience, it's definitely a cool spot. Service was attentive and professional throughout the evening, which we appreciated. However, the food didn’t quite live up to the high expectations set by the atmosphere and price point. The crab cakes were a letdown, fried and packed with shredded lump meat, lacking the delicate texture and flavor you’d hope for, especially being down the shore. The rack of lamb, while cooked nicely, consisted of only four small lollipop chops and didn’t feel like a good value. On a brighter note, the flounder special was excellent, fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Cocktails were also a highlight of the evening. Overall, Washington Inn has a nice ambiance and solid service, but for a more consistently satisfying dining experience in Cape May, I’d recommend Peter Shields instead.

Easily one of my top five dining experiences ever - better than some Michelin-starred restaurants I’ve enjoyed. Even their simple garden salad was extraordinary. Do not pass on the Mediterranean sea bass - the fish was perfectly prepared, and the salsa verde was one of the most complex, unctuous sauces I’ve ever had. The flavors of the sorbet were so concentrated and clear - I couldn’t stop eating them, especially the mango. The service was outstanding, and the price performance was excellent. This was a transcendent meal - can’t wait to come back.

Went here for the first dinner as a married couple after our wedding. No less than four wedding guests screamed and said “you’re gonna have a great time” when we told them where we were headed for dinner the following day. We did in fact, have a great time! The caviar is some of the best I’ve ever had and we were treated to the fabulous story of how the farmers met working at the Inn. It was a picturesque restaurant, absolutely incredible service and a memory I will treasure forever. Can’t wait to go back!

I have to give full credit to my besties hubby for planning all the reservations while we stayed in Cape May earlier this summer. We dined at Washington Inn on our first night & it was fantastic. Very elegant but never obnoxious. Highly recommend reservations. The food & service were beyond expectations. Huge dining areas & the staff were all so very kind. Located on a lovely street that begs to be walked after dinner. We loved every moment of this dining experience!

We had the most amazing time at the Inn wine bar with bartenders Robin and Justin. They gave us all of the local tips and made us feel like regulars, even though it was our first time. We’ve already taken them up on their recommendations and it’s made our stay in Cape May so special! We can’t wait to come back

Came here to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday and had a great experience. The food was delicious and the service was excellent — everything felt warm and welcoming. A lovely spot for a special occasion in Cape May!

Exceptional meal and superb drinks. The staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. We met a couple celebrating 40 years married and this is their top spot, says a lot about the food and the experience as they come back every year.
