    Nice place just over the bridge into town of Cape May. Hard to decide what to eat because quite a few things on the menu sounded wonderful. I chose a juicy grilled chicken BLT with added cooper sharp and my husband had the filet tip cheese steak which he really enjoyed. Our appetizers where wings and bacon wrapped scallops with a radish/beet dip. My husband and I added this place to our list of places we must return to, to try more things on the menu.

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

    Clams were tender... true little necks. Broth was amazing. Had the smash burger... two patties, high fat content, which, let's face it, makes them taste great. House made pickles were so good. Great burger. Friendly, attentive service.

    Fantastic experience! My family and I were up from North Carolina for vacation and tried this for dinner. Overall, our food was delicious! The most memorable part of this experience was the unmatched customer service provided by our server Chrissy. My mom got prime rib which was the special at the time, but when she received it, it was a little underdone for her liking. Once we told the server, she immediately offered to take it back to the kitchen or have the chef remake it. Chrissy insisted that she could have the kitchen remake my mom's order and then proceeded to take 25 dollars off of the bill. We will be back and this has been one of the best experiences I have had in a restaurant. I would 10/10 recommend it!

    Top three of my places to eat in Cape May. Some of my favorites include the bacon wrapped scallops, roast beat and goat cheese salad and the amazing skip Jack pizza. I am so glad they've started doing breakfasts. I tried them twice for it thus far, had the Benedict (which is the best on the island in my opinion; I quality control a lot of them ;)), and the beef hash. Both were amazing. Best breakfast in town. Service is amazing as well. Agnieszka provided fast, friendly service. Great with food knowledge, even better at recommending a beer to someone who has no idea what he wants. Even the other staff members say hello, wave, and are super friendly. Can't recommend this place enough. Cheers!
