Upon entering, you are greeted with a warm and inviting color palette, along with honeycomb design accents weaved throughout the space. I ordered the Pumpkin Latte Martini, which was expertly crafted. The hubby opted for the Worker Bee, which while good, seemed to be prepared not exactly as described. For food, we ordered skewers and Bacon Wrapped Scallops for apps, and they were just the perfect portion, and loaded with great flavor profiles. For Mains, we tried the Strip Steak special (cooked to desired à point,) and the Land and Sea (burger with crab cake.) Both were delicious! Service was also attentive, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. While we didn't have room for dessert this time around, I'll be sure to save space on our return visit!

He had his hands full with several tables but handled everything really well. The food and drinks were terrific. My only criticism would be the cheese dip didn't have much flavor. It needed a little spice or something. We had the Tijuana Street Fries and Classic Taco Sampler. Both were terrific and huge portions for the cost. I would definitely eat here again if given the opportunity

This place is overall okay. My favorite parts were probably the waitstaff and interior. The…read morehostesses and waiters were all very friendly and helpful. Expect a long wait, but they are accommodating. After your table is called, they hold it for 15 minutes, which I very much appreciate--that gives you more than enough time to walk to the nearby shops or beach. The ambiance is nice, the tables are spacious, and the bar is long and open. I thought the tacos were alright but expensive and not too flavorful. I did really appreciate the wide selection of local fresh-caught fish, though, and could recommend going here for that reason. The appetizers are pretty standard, and I don't have much to say about them. I just wish there was more flavor in general. Additionally, the cocktails were extremely weak. I'm surprised they even needed to ID. Even people I know who are very lightweight commented on how light the alcohol was. I really liked the flavor and balance of the syrups, but a $15+ cocktail should highlight the liquor. The DJ was not good the night I went, but I'm not sure if that's a consistent issue or just a one-time thing. Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back. I just genuinely think the other restaurant selection in Cape May is good enough that I wouldn't spend a meal here during a limited trip.

They were generous sizes with plenty to take home. Service was fast. We were quickly seated with a choice of where to sit. Water came without asking. Our order came quickly. Tori, our waitress, came many time to check on us. To top it off the manger, Alex, made his rounds to ensure all was going well. He also filled us in on the history of the place. Talking with Alex made us feel like family. Location was superb. We were sitting two feet away from the sand dunes looking out over the beach frontage of the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware River. The building has open air doors which makes feel like you are sitting outside. That location has a sunken concrete ship from WWII in the water. As Alex explained as part of history this is a landmark that attracts many. We could the scores of birds on the partially submerged ship. Great place and we be back next time I visit Cape May!!

A friend recommended this location because it was on the water and supposedly had great views. Well, she was not wrong! We planned to enjoy dinner there at sunset, and it was absolutely stunning. You can even see a shipwreck in the water from the restaurant. The food was delicious and the outdoor bar overlooking the water was definitely popular! It was packed. I recall having a refreshing, bubbly, berry libation. So tasty and beautifully decorated with fruit and a pearl skewer on top. My only constructive criticism is that this place is very busy and the wait time can be quite long. You may consider sending one person from your party there a bit earlier to wait for a table, because it can be up to an hour wait during peak times. (Not a spot to head to if you are very hungry and need to eat ASAP!) Aside from having to wait about 45 minutes to be seated, this place is a gem. Would definitely come back for the relaxing, beach ambiance.
