    Seated right on time. Wait staff was attentive, food was delicious and portions were generous. Check out was a little slow an our waiter was busy but that’s really nitpicking.

    Delicious food, service and atmosphere. Menu options for side dishes and salads were limited to chefs offerings for the evening and the overall price seemed a bit high. Very overall lovely dining experience and I recommend as one of the best dinners we’ve ever had in Cape May.
