My wife and I found ourselves at Tisha for dinner, and what a pleasant surprise! The service was excellent, our meal was delicious, and the indoor dining area was very cozy and inviting. We started with the scallops with risotto as an appetizer. I'm not a huge fan of scallops, but my wife really enjoys them, and she thought they were excellent. For dinner, she had the crab cakes with shrimp, while I went with the special, which was halibut topped with crab. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and prepared perfectly. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Tisha. We'll definitely be back! read more

This was, without a doubt, the best gnocchi I've ever had! It was perfectly cooked--soft, pillowy, and full of flavor. Every bite was comforting and delicious. I also ordered a bottle of their house wine, and it was excellent. It was served nicely chilled with just the right amount of sweetness, making it the perfect pairing for my meal. The flavors complemented the gnocchi beautifully and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The sauce was fresh, light, and earthy, and I loved the addition of the pine nuts, which added a subtle crunch. I'm usually not a fan of mixing different textures in a dish, but everything came together so well that it completely changed my mind. The shrimp were cooked perfectly--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My daughter ordered the seafood pasta, and she loved it as well. The seafood was fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors blended together wonderfully. We both left our plates nearly empty because everything was just that good. We were seated outside, and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The weather was beautiful, there was a nice breeze, and it made for such a relaxing dining experience. To top it all off, the woman who took our order was absolutely wonderful. She was funny, energetic, and incredibly kind, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Between the amazing food, delicious wine, beautiful outdoor seating, and exceptional service, this was easily one of my favorite dining experiences. I would happily return again and again. read more

Tisha's Cape May - Seafood Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

Four for dinner on Thursday. Had requested the main dining room but instead we're seated in the back dining room. It was OK but we were right by the door to the patio, which was frequently opened and closed. Our server, Laura was fantastic. She did a great job all night for us. Started with delicious clam chowder, fried oysters, and the Kale Caesar salad. We really didn't enjoy the kale salad, but the other two were great. The seafood risotto was great as usual, as was the pescatore special and the scallop risotto appetizer (had for an entrée). The scallops Sambuca special was OK but the sauce was too sweet for me. No dessert tonight. read more

Service was fairly quick. Was with large party, so had a reservation. Restaurant is BYOB, but wine holders are provided. Menu is fairly small, heavily seafood and not many options for dietary restrictions and such. Was not a fan of the music, which was all AI covers of pop songs. That's a huge affront IMO. House Salad 3/5 mostly a bed of spinach doused in the raspberry vinaigrette and very sweet nuts. Shrimp putincana: 4.5/5 tails were still on the shrimp, not great for a pasta dish but otherwise good Halibut: 3/5, lot of sauce. Chicken Pasquale 3/5 was fine. Hard to mess up, rice was good read more

The food itself was excellent. 4 stars because we had to wait for an hour after we ordered for our food. It wasn't overly crowded when we arrived and other tables who arrived after us got their food sooner. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant to me when I told her we were coming to Cape May for my birthday this year. We decided to have dinner here on a Monday evening in mid October. We were thrilled we made that decision! There is a hostess station right inside the door. She was friendly and took us to a table in the back of the room we were in (there is another separate room in the back). We did not have a reservation. Our waitress Cat was wonderful!! Personable and professional, answering every question we had about the menu and restaurant! We started with the fried oysters and a harvest salad (I think that was the name of it). I had the seafood risotto and my boyfriend enjoyed the Thai salmon and shrimp. The food was absolutely delicious! We were so happy we found a new restaurant that we love in the area! read more

We really enjoyed eating here the decor was nice and the food was wonderful. We wanted to try a couple dishes. I came here with my sister and cousin. They got the salmon with Thai sauce and I got the peppered crab cake and shrimp. Both dishes were delicious. Even though the crab cake had a little more breading than I like it was seasoned nicely and had a great flavor. The sauce was yummy and not peppered too much. Our server was Jersey. She did a great job, was efficient and friendly. We will definitely go back here . read more

The food was stupendous as always. We started with the house salad which had walnuts, cranberry and goat cheese. The portion was large and we shared it. The appetizer of scallops and sautéed spinach was on point. The scallops were sweet tender and Lucious. My meal was seafood with a garlic sauce, scallops, mussels, and shrimp over linguine. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was silky and smooth with the perfect amount of garlic. Our server Diana, with 16 years of experience was always there to make sure we were satisfied and her suggestions were welcomed and appreciated. Our desert was chocolate flourless cake with a side of vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce. DECADENT!!!we sat in the rear area of the restaurant which was cozy and very pleasant. Make your reservations because it fills quickly. You will not regret choosing this place. read more

Great spot for a cute lunch outside. The burgers were delicious and the service was attentive. What more is needed?

The food was amazing. However this is the SECOND TIME we have been there for a special occasion and they have had no bread! Solve the problem. There is no accommodation for the lack of bread. Just a sorry we are out of bread. A table that arrived after us received an order of bread-right across from us. Ridiculous. Order more bread. Thankfully the food is great. It's the saving grace. read more

Food was totally mixed. Salmon good crabcake was awful. For $43 it was disgraceful. Red lobster would be embarrassed to serve this. Next the hostess is worthless. Two retired grandparents of 8. In a restaurant half empty she sits us in the back next to a party of ten with 3 actively screaming crying toddlers. She is a moron and we were stupid not to ask for another table. Needless to say we will never go back. read more

I'm so happy that we ate at Tisha's. I had really good memories of eating here at least 10 years prior, and I'm glad to report that nothing has changed. Food is still incredible. This is one of the most popular restaurants in Cape May for good reason! Apps are where it's at! We shared the scallop risotto, calamari and rice balls and everything was standout. Portions are generous for apps as well! Service was also great. Don't forget to bring a bottle and make a reservation. Without one, you likely won't get a table on a weekend. For a quality meal in Cape May this is a must. read more

This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Such a gem located in the middle of the main strip on Washington Street. We were lucky to be able to get a reservation during our yearly trip to Wildwood and really enjoyed everything Tisha's had to offer. Food was incredible- my husband still can't stop talking about the sambucca cream sauce on his dish. The service was also great and really good with the two one year olds we had in our party. We're already looking to go back next year (and make a reservation way in advance!) read more

Tisha's has great food. Unfortunately, the woman at the front desk plays games with reservations. On two occasions she insisted our reservation was not in her system. Then she said all tables were booked. This was a lie, as we found the table we wanted was empty for the full time we would have been there. She plays games with her tables. Perhaps she thinks a movie star wil show up. She lies. I wish I knew who is her boss. read more

This was my first visit to Tisha's. I did not expect such excellent food from a restaurant in Washington Square. I had the halibut special with crabmeat over the creamiest mashed potatoes ever. The fish was tender and delicious. My husband had the scallops in a sambuca sauce over pasta which he raved about. Homemade cheesecake was the perfect end to a perfect meal. Shout out to Sandy our waitress for her prompt and friendly service. Can not wait to return! read more

7 people ate and all 7 said it was outstanding! You can't go wrong with meals here. We ate outside and it was super relaxed and not too loud. Good portions. read more

This place was amazing and earned it's well known reputation for fine dining. First of all, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. The place was completely packed and I saw two parties get turned away simply because the restaurant was completely booked already. However, I overheard the conversation and I have to give kudos to the restaurant staff for having great recommendations for those parties to get a good meal. From what I heard, they really knew the area pretty well and I backed their recommendations too. We arrived with our reservation and were seated almost immediately. We had a little trouble deciding what to get. Luckily our server Kat walked us through the menu and had good ideas on what we wanted. We ultimately decided on: mushroom risotto and grilled polenta for appetizers. Seafood Pescadore and Seafood Risotto for entrees. For dessert, we got the flourless chocolate cake and bread budding. The grilled polenta had a great smoky flavor that paired well with the rabe. The mushroom risotto was really thick, creamy, and every bite was oozing with a savory flavor. The Seafood Risotto was also very similar and was filled to the brim with clam, mussels, scallop, and shrimp. The seafood Pescadore was equally chock full of seafood and sat on a bed of Linguini. It came with a choice of marinara sauce or white wine sauce. The mussels that came with that dish might be the very best mussels I've ever had. It was cooked tender but not chewey, and was seasoned with incredible flavor. The bread pudding had a caramel sauce with vanilla ice cream. The flourless chocolate cake was equally as good too with a gooey strong chocolate. As you can probably tell, I am raving about every single part of our meal. I don't believe we chewed on a single morsel of food that was bland or unseasoned. There was an incredible attention to detail on every ingredient on every single dish. This is definitely the place to go for a special occasion. The food and service have completely exceeded all of my expectations. So make that reservation, dress up nice, and show up. You won't be disappointed. read more

Terrible service. Food was not good at all. Prices were normal for Cape May. I would not go back here.

Everything is always perfect at Tisha's. The food, the atmosphere and especially the service is all outstanding always.

This restaurant has become a staple for us. Not only is the atmosphere, service and food quality delightful but with all the competition of places to fine dine, it's nice to find one you grow to depend on. BYOB is option! We haven't had a bad meal ever. My wife longs for the Halibut dish perched atop of mashed potatoes and green beans smothered in some creamy gravy-of-a-sauce-goodness is simply different in a subtle brilliant way. I had a Chioppino style dish which was a special that night. I ate all of my dinner only to leave freckles of marinara broth as traces of my experience. No desert this night because we frequent a spot out back. Great meal at Tisha's but $$$ so fair warning. read more

Both the service (Lisa) and the food were outstanding. This places has two rooms...one is lively and vibrant, and the other quiet and romantic. Food portions are just the right size and there are options for those allergies. And the location is right in the middle of the quaint downtown area. read more

We had a delicious dinner at Tisha's. We arrived for our reservation and front dining room was packed, so opted for the smaller, quieter back room! Tisha's is a BYOB, so don't forget to bring a bottle! We started with clam chowder, burrata over arugula, and beets/gorgonzola over mixed greens. All were very good and fresh! For dinner, my boyfriend just really wanted plain crab cakes, so ordered 2 of the appetizer portions. The 2 arrived on plates as individual servings. Would have been easy and looked better to just put 2 on the one plate. Mom and I split the Thai salmon with shrimp over potatoes and green beans. A very nice sized portion, I'm so glad that we shared! We didn't even look at dessert bc we had to meet family. Overall, a great meal with good service. Despite being packed inside and out, Gavin did a good job trying to stay on top of things! It was a nice evening! read more

Good experience at a super popular place. Hostess was a bit salty but was eventually kind enough to honor our request for a particular table. Restaurant has a simple and clean design. Vibe was lively except for the back dining area. Food was good. Enjoyed the shrimp and calamari apps. Halibut and scallops entrees were very tasty. Key lime pie finished off the meal nicely but the cappuccinos were cold and had to be sent back. Service for the most part was good and friendly. Although the servers all wear these "purses" that hold service related items. Always felt like it was her regular purse and that she was on her way home! Would go back for sure. As others have noted, reservations are a must. read more

First time diners here, we had a very enjoyable dinner! Ambiance in the front dining room is elegant and very comfy. Noise level is great for conversation. Our service was perfect throughout the meal. Not a huge menu here but there were several additional specials added to the mix. We started with the fried oysters (excellent) and the pumpkin stuffed gnocchi (declared by my wife to be the best app she ever had). For mains, we went with: the pork Milanese (huge and very tasty) and the shrimp and crabcake dinner (great crabcake). Great food, great service and very nice ambiance - certainly a winning combination!!! read more

The lobster bisque was amazing and I would 100% go again for this. But what was supposed to be pumpkin gnocchi - seemed more like pumpkin flavored pizza rolls and you got 6 for $20 cover in a flavorless brown butter. The waitress was interested in tables with more people and a bigger check, we weren't even offered dessert. read more

We've gone to Tisha's many times and their food never disappoints! We love a BYOB too!

Tisha's is one of the best in the Washington Square area. It shows because if you want a table, you need to reserve ahead of time. There are a few tables outside available which don't require a reservation but there could be a long wait for them. The waitress who served us was very knowledgeable and knew the menu well. The food was excellent and I recommend to try the clam chowder for an appetizer. For the main courses, I had the pesto shrimp and gnocchi. It was a 4/5 meal, I think I would have liked a bit more sauce on my food. My child tried the Pescatore. It was a special that night but it was very good. In terms of alcohol, there is a limited selection with mostly wine. We had a local white wine and it was spectacular. Finally, as for the pricing, it is a bit expensive but the food is well worth it. read more

Our server, Cat was very good! I ordered the pescatore with shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams. The overall taste was amazing. Two small complaints - the shrimp were overcooked so they were chewy. Chef needs to be aware. And the mussels were so tiny inside they shouldn't have even been served with the dish. Others in our group were very pleased with their food. read more

My Wife and I always enjoy Tisha's! To be completely honest, we find it hard to dine anywhere else. The food is amazing, hot and the Service is outstanding. When in doubt, go to Tisha's!!! FYI, they have outdoor seating which is amazing because they are located in Cape May on the historic Washington Street Mall. read more

TLDR: rather overpriced for what was delivered We came for dinner and getting a recommendation from our B&B host. We got same day reservations with an 830 seating. We arrived very early and still got seated right away, at 810. This good because service was very slow. We ordered the seafood risotto and crabcake with shrimp. It took over 45 minutes to be served and it really wasn't worth the wait or price. The seafood risotto had a wonderful briny taste and the mushroom was amazing. However, the rice was a bit undercooked and the clams and shrimp were overcooked. The crab cake came with mashed potatoes and the green beans that I subbed in for spinach. Veggies were good, but plain. The crabcake was good but my shrimp were overcooked as well. Service wasn't bad, but I finished my water about 1/2 way through the meal and the server never bothered to check in to see if I wanted more. We expected higher prices for the vacation location tax, but we also expected higher quality preparation and service. read more

Excellent food. Severs were kind, thoughtful and served with a smile. I think the restaurant could use an extra hand or two or have less tables per server to reduce pressure on nights where they have more people. I had the watercress salad and the mushroom risotto. Both were good. Vibe is relaxed elegance. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We really enjoyed ourselves. Will go back. FYI- This is BYOB. read more

Perfect Cape May dining experience, right in the heart of the shopping district, with great food, wonderful ambience, everything you could want! We'll be going back here every time we visit! And it will be the highlight of our dinners in Cape May. And that's besides the fact that it's located right in the center of the shopping area which makes it even more fun! This is a must go to spot . The food is to dream for. I had the halibut with crab meat, and it literally put me in heaven. Delicious and a good portion too. The filet mignon is nothing short of wonderful! For an appetizer we got Cajun shrimp and rice. This is a must order! Couldn't think of a better way to start off the meal. This restaurant is adorable inside! It's so much fun to eat here and they have a great selection of all kinds of food. Something for everyone. Of course, it's just great to be walking in the downtown shopping area and just step into this restaurant without having to go blocks away, or even a mile away to find a good restaurant. as you can imagine getting a reservation is very difficult so you need to do it well in advance of your trip. Highly recommended for a fine dining restaurant, while visiting Cape May, especially if you're looking to eat right in the downtown shopping area! read more
