Afternoon Tea for Three... What a Lovely Surprise! We were greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff who immediately made us feel welcome. We had preordered the three-tier afternoon tea, which included individual pots of tea chosen by each guest, so there was truly something for everyone. We enjoyed Paris , peppermint, and English Breakfast, all Harney and Sons teas. The three-tier stand was beautifully filled. The first tier featured delicious quiche, asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, and spanakopita, with one of each item for every person. The second tier held two buttery, perfectly sweet scones for each guest. The top tier was dedicated to desserts and did not disappoint. We enjoyed Parisian chocolate cake, cheesecake, key lime cake, and chocolate chip cannolis. Everything was fresh, moist, and absolutely delicious. We were able to relax and enjoy each other's company without ever feeling rushed. It was a wonderful experience, and I'm grateful to have such a lovely place for afternoon tea in the neighborhood. read more

Came here for Tea Time and everything was absolutely amazing from the food to the service. The tower of food had a good variety and we were stuffed when we got to the last tier. Super tasty teas too. The mocktail teas were super refreshing on a hot day. Highly recommend! read more

Petunia can't be trusted if you have an allergy. I informed our server that I need to be strictly gluten-free, no cross-contamination, and she brought me a separate gluten-free menu. I ordered the Petunia salad off on that menu -- which was served to me with croutons, which I realized only after a few bites. For someone with Celiac disease, this can be a devastating mistake. The server apologized profusely, but my next-day email to the restaurant has gone unacknowledged. read more

I was looking for a place that had a tea time in Cape May County. Petunia recently started serving afternoon tea along with options for sweet and/or savory treats additions. The teas were delicious as well as the array of tea sandwiches, scones and sweets. Our server was amazing and the leisurely pace was welcome! The prices were reasonable for the experience! Will return! read more

The first A+ is the ambiance. The decor is so welcoming. Second A+ goes to the staff: perfect amount of attentive,informative and friendly. The final A+, more like A++++, is the food. WOW. We had the Caesar salad which was perfectly dressed, the peach and burrata salad (to die for) and the mushroom bucatini and the pork chop. Everything was delicious and we will be back the next time we are back at the shore. read more

Petunia is absolutely delightful. The staff are wonderful and welcoming. The location is easy to access and the space is lovely. Importantly, the food is OUTSTANDING. We went with a group of 9 in all and everything was fresh and delicious. I cannot recommend d this BYOB enough. read more

Excellent food and service. Nice vibe to the place. Interesting menu. Will visit again.

This place is very nice, we got a gift card when we purchased Georges' CMCH BOGO promo. The bread was a bit dry (focaccia only. The round bread was perfect). The parking situations less than perfect. But the food was delicious! We finished off with the cannoli which was crispy and tasty. Definitely will come back again! read more

We love this little neighborhood spot. It's cosy, a little fancy, but not stuffy at all. Service is warm and competent. Background music is just right. Food is very good and if they have short ribs as a special definitely order. read more

I called Petunia to make a reservation for afternoon tea for our small group of 4. I was never asked for a credit card to "hold" the reservation. I got a text link from OpenTable. When I hit the link, it said the amount was $170.14 ($40 x 4 + tax). I called Petunia and the cashier who answered the phone, I confirmed verbally our party would be there and that seemed to be the last of it. However, I received a phone call from Ashley, the owner, who was EMPHATIC I needed to supply my cc#. She continued to argue with me that other local restaurants now require a cc# to hold the reservation. I've NEVER been charged more than $25 or $50 to hold a reservation. There is NO way I was charging $170 for an afternoon tea at Petunia in CMCH before we even crossed the threshold. Ashley was extremely rude and literally hung up on me when I told her I wasn't ready to provide my cc# but I already wasn't looking forward to the experience. Ashley was so loud my husband overheard her even though I didn't have the phone on speaker. In the end, I called back and canceled our reservation. Not only did I know we wouldn't enjoy our visit but, honestly, Ashley did NOT deserve our $170+ (or more) for an afternoon tea service. read more

Very cute little BYO. The wife and I really enjoyed the full dining experience at Petunia. Service was great. The bread and meatballs were very good. Also I would highly recommend the pork chop, it was perfectly prepared. read more

Food not worth the price in my opinion. We eat out quite often and have no issue paying today's prices for "great food" and service. Unfortunately, the food here is nothing special. Home made or made "in house" doesn't necessarily equate to "Well made". The service was stretched thin with a single waitress, however very accommodating. The Restaurant atmosphere was nice and relaxing. However, we would not go back. read more

We used to go to this restaurant when it was Scola and loved it. This was our first time at Petunia. The place is small but charming. Our server was excellent and friendly. We ordered the facacia bread and asked for it to come out first. That wasn't possible. Everything had to be ordered at once. The bread was dry and not your traditional bread. There were some dry club rolls thrown on top. 2 of us had the ravioli special. Lukewarm and tough no flavor. Other two had the salmon and said it was ok. Where is the kitchen at this place? Was the food brought in from somewhere else? read more

Homemade pastas, great ambience indoors, generous portions! To my surprise, my favorite dish is the gourget meatballs and spaghetti entree. The owner and the staff are lovely. The indoor seating is quite lovely and intimate. Outdoor ambience looked unimpressive. Bring a flashlight to read the menu. BYOB. We loved this new find so much that we ate here 2x in summer 2023. Much better than over-priced, underwhelming 7-mile island food. We will be back next year. read more

ohk this spot here *CHEF'S KISS* my oh my was this place delicious. we came to celebrate a birthday so we ordered a few items from the menu and ill so happy we did. appetizers were so good we forgot to even take pictures app: truffle b&b- everything about it was delicious. ricotta meatballs- the homestyle meatballs were perfectly cooked. toasted ravioli- loved the combination of the italian sauce and sundried tomato sauce. all entrees ordered were sooo good. even the mushroom pappardelle was delicious and i'm not a mushroom fan. gnocchi was amazing and the amatriciana was a perfect italian dish. jessica was our server and she was soo nice. we were seated inside, which had a few tables. not overcrowded. you do have to order apps and entrees at once. we were provided 2 ice buckets for our bottles. this place just opened up in 2023, but i must say, if they continue with a menu as good as i tried last night then they should be staying for a very long time. read more

Cute and charming little Italian place with house made pastas. Wedge salad was great.

Beautiful spot. BYOB. Lovely service. Dishes were thoughtful and pasta handmade. Limited seats likely to accommodate a non kitchen. Sous vide for 2 or 3 entrees the rest were pasta toppers. Cute, good but not a full kitchen by any means. Romantic. read more

We had a perfect meal. All the pastas are homemade, our server was delightful, the bread course with truffle butter was to die for, and portions were generous. Only adjustment I would recommend would be a smoother playlist that complimented the romantic ambience. read more

Service & food was excellent. Staff was pleasant. Outside seating. Plenty of parking Recommended

My partner and I ate on Friday eve. We shared the swordfish and steak they were both phenomenal as well as the atmosphere, server, and chef. We will be back. read more

The food was good, and served promptly. For their prices they should not be charging for bread.

From the moment we walked in, our server, Noelle made us feel like a part of the family. She was cheerful, fun, engaging and made great recommendations. It's an intimate atmosphere with not too many tables, reservations highly recommended. Every single thing was delicious and made with absolute care. Make sure you get the truffle bread & butter and the ricotta meatballs! The homemade pasta was amazing read more

What a fabulous addition to the CoHo Dining Scene! Granted, it's not much of a scene yet, but with places like Petunia, it is up and coming. The decor is wonderful- very chic with raw woods, exposed brick, deep emerald walls, fresh flowers, and tea lights. The staff was so welcoming. The glassware and plates had a vintage/modern feel. The devil is in the details and clearly the details are noticed here. We had the Arancini with leek fondue and wild mushrooms. Fabulous. We were given complementary crab macaroni and cheese and asked to express our honest opinion about it as they are building their menu. How often do you get to rate complimentary food? For dinner, we had the Fettuccine with Shrimp and the Salmon with Rigatoni. The Fettuccine was delicious and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The Salmon Rigatoni was perfect- salmon, dill, capers, nuts...just excellent. We loved everything about this place. It felt like places we love in Connecticut-intimate, a little eclectic, with perfect service and cuisine you don't see everywhere. I also appreciate the Kara Restaurant Group investing in our town. We're excited to go back! read more

Great night! Service was great! Food was delicious! Intimate space! Perfect evening!!!

Sexy place to eat! Intimate interior, timeless soundtrack, peaceful outdoor patio, staff who were just the right mix of solicitous, aloof, flirtatious, and professional. Pappardelle was velvety with mushrooms and soft roasted garlic, spaghetti was perfectly al dente with red sauce that found the right balance tomato and olive oil. Bring a date, bring your girlfriends, bring out of town guests, they'll all leave impressed. read more

My family and I came here for my mother's birthday on 04/22 and had an amazing experience. Our server, Yanni, was like no other. We felt like we were over at a friend's house for dinner. The food was impeccable, and the ambiance including their choice of music was great. I will absolutely be back. read more
