    Braised short ribs

    Went last night for dinner we started with shrimp cocktail Brother in law had the long hots the bread was decent, sat in the dining room and right under the air conditioning vent... very cold and made my experience somewhat uncomfortable but still the food was good and dessert was fantastic.

    Kind of a weird / old school vibe. We sat outside which was a mistake. There was absolutely zero atmosphere, and service was not great. The menu is small and we were also a little disappointed to see that it was different than the menu we saw on their website. My jambalaya was just okay and didn't feel 'restaurant' quality. Was sort of mushy and felt like something I would have made at home. The menu should also have better descriptions. My friend ordered the short rib pappardelle. We were expecting an Italian pasta dish but this came out like a weird stroganoff that had huge chunks of beef and pearl onions. Totally not what you'd expect to see when ordering this dish. With many dining options in Cape May this is not a restaurant I'd go back to.

    It wasn't bad but it wasn't great which is why I have to give 3 stars. The place is very cute, I like the old nautical feel it has. I think the menu overall is great and very gluten free friendly! Our feelings were validated when we read some other reviews. The server just had a weird energy about her. She wasn't really attentive or friendly. It's kind of weird set up inside but we did love sitting next to the window to look out at the tree lights. The food was good but we've traveled a lot and have definitely had better. The presentations were beautiful though.

    If i could rate the bar and the restaurant separately, the bar scene is a 5/5 for me, high energy, a mix of table tops and bar counter seating, we started off our night with some buck a shuck oysters. They were extremely fresh, and absolutely delicious with a clean flavor. Along with some espresso martinis, we continued the night with their brussel sprout and lamb lolly appetizers. The brussel sprouts could have used a touch more char, but the chili oil flavor was great with the dill sauce and the mediterrenean salad went great with the lamb lollies. As we came on a Friday night, we also got the prime rib and grouper entrees. Here is where it took a turn.... the dinner could only be described as a novice college kid's attempt at fine dining cooking. Both entrees were served with frozen veggies that appeared straight from Costco, with the grouper coming with some flavorless rice and the prime rib some gravy-less mash. The proteins were both ok, but thats as much as I could say about them. For a $35 prime rib and an almost $37 grouper, there was much left to be desired. There is also a free bread service by request, but not a big fan of the dinner rolls as they were very reminiscent of airline dinner rolls. The service is a bit slow as we went on a busy night, but attitudes were great and every server checks in on your regularly. There is a free parking lot in the back, but is on the smaller side compared to restaurant capacity, so be prepared for some street parking nearby per park mobile. Overall, if you in the area on a weekday from 4 to 6, definitely come by for their buck a shuck oyster happy hour! Its great and bar area only, so be prepared for some cozy oyster eating. If you are looking for a nice sitdown dinner, try heading to one of the many other Cape May offerings.

    Excellent HAPPY HOUR w dollar oysters! Attentive and kind bartender charged my phone for me when my aunt and I enjoyed a dozen oysters EACH! Nice happy hour drink specials. Very pretty inside and out. It's a must while visiting Cape May !

    Visiting the area and picked this for our seafood day. We were honestly really disappointed as all the seafood was overcooked. My husband ordered a lobster tail, and I ordered shrimp. How do you over cook shrimp? Well the cook did. Hanger steak was ordered medium rare came out medium well. Needless to say not again on our next visit to Cape May.
