    I see only one review. I originally went in 2005 & it was pretty good got kettle corn & have been…read moreback to Cape May several times since but because of weather, other things planned didnt attend again until 2019 & even though the place was crowded(constantly squeezing past people & dogs & this was just a few months before the Pandemic but fortunately it hadnt reached here yet), there was in my opinion either junk or way overpriced items so neither of us bought anything. I've not been back to Cape May but the next time coming here will be my last option if there is a 1-2 hour window with nothing else planned

    We missed this festival last year and I was determined to catch it this year. It is quite a large…read moreevent and I was surprised at all of the things they had there. Lots of food vendors and a hodge podge of crafters and yard sale type of items. It was quite interesting to see how the food vendors incorporate Lima beans into their dishes. The festival was quite crowded and there were a lot of ppl there. There was live music and a Lima bean queen, King, and I think princess contest. At every festival, I am most excited about the food, of course. I got a pistachio and Lima bean muffin which was excellent. The aromatic flavors of the pistachio were amazing. The Lima beans inside were a little strange and didn't add much to the muffin besides a weird hard bean texture. I also bought some Kobe sliders with a Lima bean aioli. The aioli didn't add much flavor either. Not a strong Lima bean presence. Lima beans don't have that much flavor to begin with so there wasn't much to expect I guess. I didn't try any other Lima bean specialities bc I wasn't very hungry plus the lines were a little insane. I did notice that the ppl selling Lima bean chili was quite popular. There were also a lot of Lima bean merchandise for sale: t shirts, hoodies, hats & caps, and bags. We didn't explore that much bc we were socializing with some friends at the festival. Oops. Oh well there's always next year! Overall, I had fun and the hubs was impressed with this festival. Most of the ones we've been to so far were pretty dinky and boring. This one was lively and bumping! I sure would hope so since it's their 30th annual Lima bean festival. Come check it out next year bc we surely will!

    Flat out fantastic Food great…read more Service great Nice and clean and romantic Owner was super friendly

    One of the best meals we had in Cape May, and definitely an experience we'll remember. From the…read moremoment we sat down, it was clear that Il Riccio is a restaurant that genuinely cares about the food and the overall dining experience. We started with several dishes to share: Burrata, Carciofo alla Giudìa, Gnocchi al Pistacchio, and the special mushroom ravioli. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and had its own distinct flavor. For our main course, my partner and I shared the Dover sole, and it was fantastic. The fish was beautifully prepared, delicate, and flavorful without being overworked. The accompanying side pasta was also incredibly tasty and ended up being a highlight in its own right. You can tell that there is a real emphasis on the quality of the ingredients and on letting the food speak for itself. The service was spectacular and really added to the evening. Everything moved at a comfortable pace and we never felt rushed or like we needed to hurry through our meal. It was the kind of dinner where you can actually sit back, enjoy the food, have a conversation, and take your time. The owner was also a lot of fun and brought a great personality to the restaurant. He was very comical, clearly very passionate about what he does, and you could tell how much pride he takes in the quality of the food. That passion comes through in the experience and makes the restaurant feel like it has a real personality of its own. Overall, a really memorable dinner from start to finish. Great food, excellent service, a relaxed atmosphere, and an owner who clearly cares deeply about what comes out of his kitchen. We left very happy and would absolutely return the next time we're in Cape May. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a good meal in town.

We started with the scallops with risotto as an appetizer. I'm not a huge fan of scallops, but my wife really enjoys them, and she thought they were excellent. For dinner, she had the crab cakes with shrimp, while I went with the special, which was halibut topped with crab. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and prepared perfectly. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Tisha. We'll definitely be back!

We were a party of three and sat on the back patio area. It's such a relaxing spot to sit in the shade surrounded by the plants. Fabiola was our server. We ordered calamari to share as well as the Double Smash Burger, Lobster Roll, and the Blackened Salmon Po Boy. We all enjoyed our food. I typically order the Crab Cake Tacos and I regret not ordering them. The Lobster Roll was tasty but I do not enjoy the lobster salad being chopped up small as it was. It wasn't a traditional Lobster Roll preparation and I didn't realize it was $29. I regretted my selection.

    For anyone who hasn't noticed yet...I enjoy visiting historic cemeteries. It helps that I grew up…read morewith one at the end of our street, and that this was a place where all the neighborhood kids played games. Ghost in the Graveyard, a variation of hide & seek, was popular. I also love history, and this cemetery I played in had early settler & revolutionary war graves. It's not unusual for me to seek out an old cemetery when traveling, so I was delighted when fellow Yelper Dee M told me about this sacred, nearly forgotten place. I am pleased to report that since her visit, local organizations have worked together to restore and maintain this place. They have cleared fallen trees, pulled weeds, trimmed grasses, repaired tombstones and made a memorial to fallen, unknown African- American civil war soldiers. They have done a very good job and should be commended for their work. Most of the headstones are 19th - early 20th century, with a mix of familiar and unique sentiments. Most are marble or sandstone, with the unfortunate weathered appearance. A few are now VA supplied granite, and still fewer likely granite replacements placed by descendants. You will not see grand, elaborate sculptures or tall spires, that was the way of the very wealthy who wanted to be noticed. These are much more, er, normal markings of the time. It's a serene space, sacred and beautiful in its own way. You can drive down a short dirt road to reach it (being mindful of private home driveways), or you can park on the side of the road and walk back. I highly recommend bug spray in warm months.
