The marina atmosphere, boats, and views create such a classic coastal feeling. Even if you're not stopping for a full meal, it's worth walking around and taking in the scenery. It's a great photo spot and a nice addition to a Cape May day exploring the waterfront. I'd definitely recommend adding this to your Cape May itinerary. Be aware there are a few parts to the lobster house in general. It's confusing as a first timer but then you get familiar. I ate at Schooners dock at The Lobster House. Menú is limited. You can't order from other parts like the raw bar and sit in Schooners. I enjoyed fried oysters and a burger with fries. Service was good despite it being busy. Fries arrived cold but in no time they sent it back to get a new batch.

We had been here before and recall a good experience, so we went again on the Sunday of Memorial…read moreDay weekend around 4:30. First, we were seated in the back where the wait station and door to kitchen was located and staff was just standing around. We asked to move to one of the empty booths and was told they were all for reservations coming in. They were able to move us to the back room. Server was nice and attentive and our food (just appetizers) were good. The issue we had was the overly aggressive bussers who kept trying to take our plates away even when it was apparent that we were not finished. This happened several times. We dislike when dirty dishes are left in front of us but this was over the top and intrusive. With so many options around town, we likely won't be back.

The food has consistently been good, though in my opinion it's a bit overpriced--but that's become…read morepretty common since COVID. The beer selection is always impressive, with plenty of options to satisfy just about every taste. Service can be hit or miss depending on when you visit and who's working, but that's often the case at busy shore destinations. My family stops here on almost every trip to our home on the Cape May Bay, so we've experienced it at its best and busiest. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a popular shore restaurant. And yes, if you know about the bathroom situation, you know--it really deserves a permanent fix rather than another temporary patch. The menu offers something for everyone. The pizzas are consistently good, the bar food delivers exactly what you'd expect, and there are several signature dishes that are always reliable and full of flavor. When the restaurant gets crowded, you'll definitely notice it in both the service and the overall vibe, but that's just part of the shore experience. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try. Go in with realistic expectations during peak times, and chances are you'll have a great meal. We almost always do, and I think you will too.

This place screams "summer"!…read more We stopped in for cocktails mid-afternoon on a June Saturday. We were fortunate enough to land 4 bar seats. The open-air environment was delightful! Ocean breezes and the fantastic smell of salty air. My friend and I ordered Aperol Spritz's while our guys ordered a Zest Lemonade and a Hugo's Garden. All cocktails were well-balanced and refreshing. Our bartender was SO SWEET! I wish I caught her name. She was an absolute doll and made our experience that much better. We didn't order any food, as we had dinner reservations elsewhere a couple of hours later. Their bathroom is one of those bougie porta-potties with running water and a true sink. No need to be frightened to use it! I would visit this place every day if I could.

They honored our reservation and seated us five minutes early. They started us off with two pieces of their excellent focaccia. The pesto dip was better than the chili oil. The calamari app was excellent - tender rings, chunks of pork belly, shrimp, and a spicy tomato sauce. The artichoke app comprised two long stem hearts, with stems, and a Parmigiano topping. Good but not at the level of the calamari. Next up a composed mixed green salad with generous shaved Parmigiano. Complimentary! The thick slice of halibut was on point. Moist, perfectly cooked. Not an afterthought by any means. The 20 oz. Cowboy cut rib steak was tender and perfectly seasoned but maybe a degree or two past medium rare. The side of grilled vegetables was splendid. And another freebie -- dessert for two -- butter cakes with cream and chocolate crunch. Sort of like a deconstructed tiramisu. Also delicious. Service managed to be friendly and professional. A great experience and a solid value. The ambiance was modern steakhouse. Would have preferred some jazz on the playlist, but no complaints. I would definitely return.

I ordered a yellow fin sandwich, cooked medium rare, which was one of the featured fresh catch fish of the day. Without a doubt this this was probably the best seared yellowfin tuna I've ever eaten. The sear was perfect, the yellowfin was perfectly seasoned and the size was generous. The flavor and texture were perfect as well. I decided to eat it off the bread because I didn't want the the roll to mask the fresh caught yellowfin flavor. The sandwich was served with a heaping amount of tasty and crunchy housemaid chips. We ate while watching the sunset over the water. Wish we lived nearby, because we'd become regulars if we did. Well done Hooked Up!!

We even ordered some shirts to take back home. We will definitely make this a staple location when we are in the area. 10/10. It's rare to find good food and great service these days.

We'll definitely be back.

The pork loin was so tender and delicious and the portion so large that even though we were sharing it, we couldn't finish it. The other entrées, the pork chop and the Seabass looked delicious even though I didn't taste them. While the desserts looked amazing, we were too full to eat anymore. We definitely will be back for another delicious dinner soon.

The menu was even better this time around too. We went for the prix fixe meal. We got: seared crab cake, yellow fin tuna poke, grilled octopus appetizer, rigatoni, Berkshire porkchop, strawberry panacotta, and dark chocolate tart. Everything was extraordinary. That grilled octopus was cooked to perfection. It was the perfect amount of charred without making the inside chewy in the slightest. The meat inside was still very tender. The yellow fin poke was an authentic dish with great portions. The entrees did not disappoint either. That rigatoni and the porkchop were both great main courses. The porkchop was easily my favorite dish of the night. Everything was perfect. The service was speedy, the food was delicious and in great portions. I would highly recommend visiting Grana.
