We stopped next door at…read morethe liquor store for a bottle of wine since it is BYOB, and were seated just before the time of our reservation. While our order was taken quickly, the food came out very slowly - and to their credit, the waitress came over to apologize a couple of times for how backed up they were. We started off with the bruschetta which was good (though could have used a little more time to marinate the flavors together). I had the chicken parm which was absolutely delicious and cooked well, flavored to perfection, and a fairly large portion. My girlfriend had the shrimp risotto and her only complaint was that the shrimp were relatively flavorless as if they had been boiled and just added to the risotto at the last moment before service. All in all though, an excellent meal with an excellent soundtrack playing in the background!

This is generally a wonderful restaurant with interesting dishes and fabulous service, but this…read moreevening was a disappointment. The veal Valdostana was somewhat tough, and when I asked for whipped garlic potatoes as opposed to the roasted potatoes, I was still served the roasted potatoes. I did mention it to the server and was brought a side order of the whipped garlic potatoes which was appreciated. What ruined the evening was a table of individuals who were exceptionally loud. They were obviously overly intoxicated and in any other establishment would have been quieted or asked to leave, but the management just allowed their behavior continue to the consternation of other diners. It is for this reason that I am sure it will be a long time before I ever visit this establishment again.

Reservations seem highly recommended because it seems most people came here with one. It's fine dining (price-wise - very reasonable for fine dining). It's also BYOB -- like the name says. I loved every moment of this. Service was very attentive and professional. I did feel worried that I was a bit underdressed because I had tennis shoes on, but it was not an issue. It is not a huge restaurant, but it's elegant and definitely meant more as a special night out than a casual spot. If you are looking for seafood options, look no further than here. If you want to impress someone, take them here. Now, onto the food. The bread is complimentary and we ate it all (along with our refill). The butter was freshly made, I believe. I had the winter prix fixe menu and my sister ordered à la carte. Their prix fixe and tasting menus tend to change quite often so it'll always be interesting. My sister ordered the Spanish octopus (1st course) and the Scottish Salmon. I had some of her octopus and salmon. They were both such well-made dishes. We would definitely order the octopus again. Chewy and delicate. I had the arancini, fra diavolo, and the chocolate tart. It was absolutely delicious. The arancini were small, but it was still well filled with tiny bites of clam. The fra diavolo was also very good and filling. Plenty of seafood to go around in that dish. Spicy too, which I like. At the end, we shared a chocolate tart -- and I must say, we were already full at this point. The chocolate was rich and the pistachio ice cream was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Grana was easily one of our best meals in Cape May, a restaurant that gets most of the important…read morethings right. We started with the caprese salad, which was fresh and exactly what you want from a starter, followed by the summer corn soup, which was comforting without feeling heavy. The standout was the special New York strip. It arrived beautifully cooked, tender and flavorful. Service was equally strong by being attentive without being overbearing. The one misstep was the rigatoni, essentially a truffle mac and cheese with mushrooms and shaved truffles. On paper, it sounded promising, especially paired with a steak. In practice, it was overwhelmed by garlic to the point that the garlic eclipsed nearly everything else. There was also surprisingly little rigatoni pasta; the dish was dominated by mushrooms. We wouldn't order the pasta again, but that's a relatively minor complaint for an otherwise excellent meal. Grana is absolutely worth a return visit and there's plenty on the menu that we'd happily order again. It gets a relatively older crowd, but I don't mind if that food is good.

You have to almost walk in the street just to get around the corner. We were greeted upon arrival and seated almost immediately. Hostess was very pleasant and the service was decent. I wish they checked in on us a little more. I had to ask another server for a spoon and extra dipping oil. For an appetizer we ordered the squid and calamari. Both were very good, but the calamari was only the rings and didn't come with any sort of dipping sauce which I think would have been nice. Everything ordered was good and so was the portion size. All the plates came in around $40 each. I had the spicy salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. IMO, it wasn't that spicy. It seemed like they used a crunchy chili oil to give it the heat. It was serves with rich which had no taste and asparagus which was fibrous and undercooked. The bread and dipping oil was absolutely delicious and the mini pumpkin cheesecake was rich and velvety. In addition to the 1 dessert, we had 2 cappuccino's and 2 coffees, No drinks or alcohol. For 5 people, tax and tip (20%) ended up coming in at just under $350. A bit much, but it is Cape May.

Everyone we met was really nice, all seemed to have an Italian accent (completely understandable!)... great paintings adorn the wall. Love the way they laid the thin bricks on the wall for decor, too. Bathrooms were clean and functional. The free bread wasn't great but we were glad to have it. Everything else was spectacular. I had an arugula salad that had a really nice oil-lemon dressing. I do wish the menu mentioned the cucumbers.... hate them and had to remove them. My daughter split the Rissotto with my wife. I finished it off. That tasted so awesome. I'm wondering if they used MSG. I also had Eggplant Rolatini, and almost ordered a sediment one (but I ain't no millionaire). They never rushed us out though we were clearly there till closing time. Would definitely return.
