I was looking forward to stopping by Port Marina during my Cape May visit for a waterfront meal. According to the posted hours online, the restaurant appeared to be open, but when I arrived I was informed they were closed and that the online hours had not been updated. I unfortunately wasn't able to experience the food or atmosphere, but I wanted to share this in case other visitors are planning a trip and relying on the listed hours. Hopefully the information can be updated to avoid confusion. I'd still love to return in the future and give it a proper visit. read more

Great vibes right on the water. More of a Miami vibe than Cape May but I was there for it. Was surprised to have a 45 minute wait on a Monday night in the summer but it was a nice place to wait. The drinks and food were fine but this place is more about the "scene" rather than the food. Kani salad was great. read more

Love the vibe and views from Port!! Came here as our first stop on the way to cape May and stopped in for a drink. I can't speak to the food, but the service was friendly at the bar and the atmosphere was perfection! Will be back to try more read more

This is a must go to place in cape may! The drinks and food are so so good (I recommend the tacos) and the ambiance is lovely! Perfect for a date night or night out with the girls. Try to be seated right along the water if you can, the views are amazing. And at night the outdoor patio turns into a little dance party, they've thought of everything read more

Excellent food and drink options in a great waterfront setting . Sat outside and the shrimp tacos off the outside menu were excellent. They've gone a great job modernizing the restaurant, highly recommend. read more

The service was exceptional. The food was very good, but the entree selection was a bit small and pricey. read more

We went back to the Port this summer after how good it was last summer. And they changed the menu. We absolutely loved the Brussels sprouts and they are no longer on the menu. They were out of the spring rolls that I really wanted to try. The whipped feta was good, I would get this again. I liked the grilled chicken sandwich but I think $22 is a bit expensive for a chicken sandwich. The grilled corn and avocado salad was okay. I think the dressing needed more flavor to it, it was dull. My sisters said the first tacos were good but better last year. My dad got a chowder and he did really like it. My dad also got the flounder sandwich and it wasn't good! The tap water literally tasted rusty, they shouldn't serve it to anyone. I had a big group so we did have a wait. So be prepared to wait. We got drinks and apps at the bar while we waited. I would go back because the vibes are good. The dj was good. But I might eat before I go. read more

The vibes were good and for the first 5 minutes were enjoyable but it all went downhill from there. They seated the us in the wrong spot multiple times and took 20 minutes of waiting before we had a table settled. The staff was split half and half some nice some terrible. By time we got our food they got multiple orders wrong and then made slick comments when handing our new correct food back to us. The place also has no air conditioning or fans outside at all. The food wasn't bad though but it was the amount of times we were missing drinks to the sweat dripping down my head. I'm not one to complain but this is really bad. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Cape May. I love the ambiance of the outdoor seating area. They have a nice cocktail menu and wine selection. On my most recent visit I tried the sangria, and it was delicious. The oysters were very good, as was the tomato and peach salad. I had the rainbow roll, which was good but I think I would try another type of sushi next time. The best part of the meal was the crab and lobster chowder. It was so good the notes I took just said "soup wow!" There are so many more dishes on this menu that I hope to try on my next visit! read more

Indoor dining was disappointing. Very pricy with a limited menu. If the meal & service were first rate, the price wouldve been acceptable. Also after inquiring about marinated entrees due to allergies, I was served a plate I was allergic to had I eaten it. read more

First time here. Very nice greeting from hostess. We were immediately and the waiter came over to take our drink orders right away. Ordered starters and meal. Starters came out before the meal, as it should be. Meals followed, no rushed feeling at all. Chowder and spring rolls very tasty. The meal crab cake sliders and shrimp tacos were very good and a good portion. Dining on the water is always nice and the atmosphere was really relaxing. Price was in line with the location and quality of food. Will be back again! read more

This place is a vibe. It's on the water so it comes with a view second to none. Newly renovated and massive amount of seating , bar seating . There were many drink options we sampled a few different drinks all were cold and refreshing . We had the orange and grapefruit crushes which were so good . We opted for appetizers to pair with our drinks and a few meals. The whipped feta was so good. The perfect blend of creamy and savory. We also had the fish tacos which Came recommended. The fresh fried fish was good and refreshing with the garnish. The burger was good well cooked and flavored. The French fries were meh but we ate them. Surprisingly the service was good considering how crowded it was. The star of this show is the location . Can't beat a spot with a water view. You can also pull up your boat and have lunch ! read more

This is a really fun place. You can't beat the outdoor atmosphere. We really enjoyed the DJ who was remixing bands like The Rolling Stones. I would say the food wasn't the best. I have definitely had better sushi and the scallops were absolutely tasteless and so incredibly small for the astronomical price. The chicken sandwich was basic and I was surprised that they didn't have frozen drinks. I wanted a piña colada. read more

We had an enjoyable lunch Saturday 9.20.25. We sat under cover in the bar area at a table. You still have a water view in the bar. It was windy Saturday and that helped block the wind a little. We ordered a Lychee Martini, Cucumber Martini, Whipped Feta, Beet Salad, and Avocado And Corn Salad. Cocktails were well executed, food was delicious, service was good, and atmosphere is relaxing. I intend to return. read more

Hands down the best atmosphere and outdoor dining i've been too. Our group tried a little of everything and it was all absolutely amazing. Hands down the best lobster roll I have ever had, even being to Maine before. All of the sushi was fresh, presented well and delicious. Drinks were also presented and garnished perfectly. Such a great restaurant, atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area, and hope to try the indoor menu next. read more

We have been outside for drinks. Love the vibe. We have eaten upstairs multiple times. Our server, somehow, is always Lauren and we are always at the same two tables. No complaints there! Lauren is attentive and friendly and everything you'd want in a server for a fun night out. We love the cocktails, the sushi, the lobster ravioli with the edamame whip- so, so good! We've been on date nights, with friends, and with our daughters for sushi night. Always leave happy, full, and excited to go again. The desserts are delicious. Is it cheap? Nope- but it's worth it and it's lovely. You can't beat the views! If you're local, sushi night Mondays in the off season are clutch! Get some sushi, a side of fried rice and a side of noodles and you're golden. Seriously, this place is an escape from the daily grind- a place to sip a cocktail, eat delicious fresh food, and gaze at the water. Perfection. read more

We took the boat out & stopped here for a drink & bite to eat. Really great experience being able to dock our boat & get a table. They have the most fresh and delicious sushi! Very attentive server. Relaxing atmosphere. Always love coming back here! read more

Port Marina - Port salad - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

For having such an amazing experience the first time, we had a pretty awful experience the second visit only a few weeks later. I learned that you should come to Port Marina for lunch or when it is not as busy. We knew there would be a long wait and didn't even mind the 90 minutes since my husband and I planned to sit and enjoy being outside with a cocktail. Unfortunately when we finally sat, the food portions were significantly smaller than our previous visit, the service was extremely slow and the restaurant seemed dirty. There was unfortunately fecal matter all over the floor of the bathroom. When I reported this to the staff, it still hadn't been cleaned after 30 minutes when I returned. The line for the bathroom was also 15 minutes long. I won't be returned for dinner on a busy evening. read more

Had a nice meal here! The ambience and vibes matched the quality of the food which I really appreciated. We had the lobster sushi roll which was chefs kiss. I then tried the rainbow roll which was OK! Definitely have seen better knifework but it was edible. I also really enjoyed their fish tacos, lots of great flavor and veggies. read more

It was a beautiful day and we got there about an hour after they opened. Easily got a spot at the bar where we were greeted with a friendly smile, great drinks, and awesome food. The wind was blowing a little bit, so it wasn't hot and it was a great spot to look out over the water and watch the boats go by. read more

Very fun place for dinner on a weekend with the DJ. This is a very nice vibe restaurant in Cape May, the inside and outside decor is amazing. The wait time wasn't horrible we waited about 30 min for 4 people on a Saturday night around 7. The dinner service was very good and attentive. The food was pretty good! Everything had good flavor would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Port Marina was nice. The ambiance is all about the vibes. The wait was about 40 minutes but we arrived around 5:20 on a Sunday. In town for vacation and celebrating our anniversary. We sat outside and got a nice seat by the water. Sometimes when you dine with a toddler, restaurants will put you in a back corner tucked away, but that wasn't the case here. Ordered wine and my husband had a cocktail. Drinks were delicious. We ordered their crab cakes as an appetizer, they were good, even my toddler loved them. Husband ordered fish & chips and i ordered a lobster roll. Everything was good. Our waiter was attentive. I took off 2 stars because the outdoor bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. There was tissue paper all over the stall floors. The trash bin was overflowing and there was no soap. No soap!! I'm not sure of the bathroom conditions for those dining inside but this is unacceptable. I hope the workers have soap wherever they use the bathroom. Management, please, make this a priority! More effort should be made to clean the bathrooms and replenish soap and tissue paper. Thankfully, this was after we had already dined and I was grateful I had hand sanitizer in my car. read more

The service person had an attitude and the music was so loud we couldn't hold a discussion. Trying too hard to be the Hamptons or South Beach. read more

I must preface by saying the outside bar has been beautifully renovated. It was a gorgeous day to have lunch outside with a cold one but unfortunately the ambiance was quickly ruined by the glaring , very loud head banging "music" that was blasting all around the bar! We stayed because we wanted to give it a chance and see how the meal would be ...wrong move ! The flounder we were told was "fresh" ...not the case it was identical to what was served near us ...frozen with zero flavor ! The couple next to us sent their calamari back it was not edible also, the menu choices outside are very very limited . So new owners I say to you ... step it up us locals would love to come back but your catering to the wrong crowd ! read more

The food is very good, a bit pricey with drinks but definitely worth it, but crowded and long waits after 5. We came here for lunch and dinner several times and dinner time is crazy here. Have to say we felt rushed after waiting a long time for a table. Lunch was a totally different enjoyable experience. The lobster roll is so good and they offer gluten free rolls. Muscles are so good. read more

This place came up on my Instagram as a new spot to check out and it was awesome. The place itself has amazing views and great food. My group and I shared the calamari and some of their sushi (all delicious). I got the lobster roll with butter and it was incredible, they were generous with the lobster meat and it was so yummy. We really had a great time , the music and service was on point . I walked in on a Friday during lunch and I didn't need a reservation. There is plenty of parking and it's a great place to hang out. read more

We had a very strange experience here. Half of which isn't their fault. I was SO excited to come here. We actually specifically scheduled this day of the trip around their opening for the afternoon. We go in and notice that there isn't really anyone sitting inside. While the outside was beautiful it was very cold and windy. We asked if anything inside was available and it was only the bar. I order too much food to be cramped up at a bar so outside we went. No big deal we had jackets. We were sat next to a speaker that was blaring house music. It was like 12pm noon. While this might make sense in the summer, but this was end of October, it was truly obnoxious. There were only like 3-4 other customers there. We couldn't hear ourselves at our table and asked to move or for them to turn it down. I mean y'all, it was insanely loud. Even the next table we moved to was still really loud. Then we get to ordering, our server was so sweet and I feel bad that everything here just kind of sucked that day. I placed my order, she comes back to say they are out of something I ordered, no big deal cancel it. Then my sushi gets brought out, we had a whole convo about how I'm Gluten Free, everything seemed fine. Then my sushi comes out with regular soy sauce (which is not safe for me) spilled all over it. Honestly, I've never received sushi with the soy sauce on the same plate. I waited and waited for her to come back so I could ask for a new set of rolls. We hadn't received any other food or drinks at this point. All good, it's being prepped. My husband had a soda and I had a hot tea while we waited.. Well, next thing we know, a fire alarm starts going off. Then they are coming out to let us know that we all need to go around front, wait for the fire department, etc. We handed her enough cash to cover the drinks and just said to cancel the order and left. Maybe we just caught them at a bad time but it was almost like we weren't supposed to eat here. I'm not sure we'll come back because it was just all so hectic from having folks outside freezing, to the super loud music with no one there, to the lack of GF understanding (or listening), etc. By this time it was like an hour and a half after we got there so we went back to our side of the Cape and had a great large lunch elsewhere. read more

The food was good. I ordered the lobster roll and it had a good amount of meat and a side of crispy fries. My friend order the sushi and another ordered the fish and chips. Everyone really enjoyed their meal and the food and service was quick. We were also seated by the water so it was very pretty watching the sunset. read more

Port Marina - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

We were in Cape May this past weekend visiting friends and we were looking for a place to get drinks and some appetizers before going back to their beach house for dinner. The winery was having a wedding so that didn't work out - we drove to the relatively new Port Marina and were surprised by the many cars in the large parking area and were concerned we might not be able to get a table. To our surprise, we were seated immediately and discovered they have A LOT of seating from a front deck area with high tops, to tables along the covered bar area, to tables and couch arrangement on the open air back deck. Many options for places to sit and we were so glad we chose the couches which also had a lovely view of the water and were protected by a glass from the wind which was picking up. It was also not very loud on the back deck (the bar area was definitely much louder with the music). The mocktail (strawberry basil sangria) was delicious and the other drinks were also very good. We enjoyed the: Local sea scallops - 4/5, large fresh scallops, the corn puree was just okay Ceviche - 5/5, we weren't sure what kind of fish but it was very fresh and came with tortilla chips (could have used a few more to scoop up the remnants) Port french fries - 4/5, solid thin cut fries, the dijon aioli was just okay Caterpillar roll - 5/5, excellent sushi with 8 pieces We'll definitely had back to Port Marina the next time we're looking for a nice place to eat outdoors for lunch or for appetizers in Cape May. read more

Did not eat there. 2.5 hour wait standing outside as no bar space or tables as many just went to bars and ate while waiting. Not a dining spot, just booze and apps and the food did not appears to be anything special. I waited 10 minutes to get ON the list in the first place. We had driven up from FL to see friends in the harbor after 3 years of not seeing them. Additional folks down from Bucks County Came by dingy looking for a table for 8. We were not even going to get a table for 8, just two tables not even at the same time and likely not near each other!!! They really don't need or want our business. Not welcoming or diner oriented. Just an expensive overpriced yuppy/millennial/GenZ Tesla or Mercedes key fob dangling crowd. (wink) Moronic and stupid busy. Parking insane (luckily we came by dingy) I stayed ON the wait list out of curiosity as we left and motored to The Crab House over on Wildwood Island. At the Crab House we were seated in under 30 seconds into a massive complex with awesome service and fantastic food!!!! OVER THREE HOURS AFTER making our reservation request I was notified our 4 top was available at Port Marina.!!!!! read more

Checked out Port Marina after seeing it a bunch of times on social media! For a Saturday evening at prime dinner time, we waited about an hour for our table (which we expected!). Although long, we enjoyed being able to see where we were in the line via Toast website. Lots of space to wait by the docks- saw some people waiting by grabbing a drink from the bar. Once seated we got all our food in a very reasonable amount of time given how busy it was. We started with the whipped feta and pita which was delicious. The food and drinks were wonderful- price wise it definitely seemed comparable to many other restaurants in the area. It started to rain a little and the staff did their best to make sure tables had coverage! Overall, it was a beautiful atmosphere & I'd recommend to check it out if you are looking for somewhere new to try. read more

Big promises, little delivery. GROSS bathrooms. Rude bartender - with the backwards hat and mole on his face, had us waiting 10 minutes. Don't hire people who can't handle stress of a busy Sunday party. And especially do not charge $17 for a glass of Juggernaut when the delivery on service and amenities is as disappointing. Toilets in Bathrooms were leaking all over. Wish I had a chance to taste the sushi, but we left because the bartender was so rude and I overheard women in the bathroom talking about how it took an hour to get food..."order food as soon as you sit down, you'll already be waiting an hour". If you're looking for a dockside bar with excellent service and food, stick with the classics and go to Schooner Bar at the Lobster House with the real locals. And true orange crushes! (The one at Port tasted like a screwdriver from a sorority house). read more
