Everything was wonderful! I had the Crabcakes. Absolutely no filler. My husband had the salmon, which was out of this world. The wine, Caesar salad and tiramisu were fabulous! Can’t say enough about this wonderful meal! We’re going back again before we leave the shore.

As a vacation destination, Cape May has plenty of drinking establishments, from swanky venues and hipster havens to beach bars and local dives. Tucked in one of Cape May’s leading landmarks, the renovated 1879 Congress Hall Hotel, we decided on dinner at the Blue Pig Tavern, which derives from a gambling parlor in the mid-1800s. A reservation was easily made via Open Table. Upon arrival as first timers, my partner and I were greeted at the host station and got our cozy table in a large glassed-in patio area. The restaurant was lively and welcoming. It was clearly a family-friendly spot, which showed in the higher noise level and the number of tables filled with multigenerational groups. Their menu is New American, from filet mignon and shrimp cocktail to legendary burgers, including the Beach Plum Farm Burger. They get a lot of its produce from its own nearby farm. As an appetizer, we decided on the Crispy Calamari and Baked Mac and Cheese. Our entree consisted of Rigatoni Bolognese and Chicken Pot Pie. Complimentary warm bread sprinkled with salt and chives accompanied by soft honey butter started our meal. Every dish hit the mark: flavorful, fresh, and well-executed. The portions were generous. Despite being very busy, the service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and especially helpful; our server was Eugene. Overall, this establishment delivered a memorable dining experience.

Our server, Isabelle, was excellent! She was so attentive and pleasant and was totally on top of everything. The food was delicious, as always. That’s why we chose Tisha’s for our anniversary dinner. The lobster bisque is the best and everyone enjoyed their entrees. Ambience is comfortable and tasteful. You can’t go wrong here!

The Chair has always been our go to restaurant when entertaining out of town guests. It is difficult to cover all the great aspects of this restaurant. The food is always excellent (my favorite are the scallops the best in CMC), the menu includes a wide variety of delicious dishes from bar menus to dinner entrees. The servers are always very attentive; bartenders mix up the most fabulous martinis; the entertainment is just what Avalon has needed for years, and their Happy Hour is the best! I totally recommend The Rockin Chair, plus it's open year round!

    We had such a wonderful anniversary dinner here! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable and every detail felt thoughtful. We were even surprised with complimentary champagne to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a lovely touch. The food was absolutely delicious, and the moody, romantic atmosphere made the evening feel extra special. Everything came together beautifully for a memorable night. We’ll definitely be back!
