Amazing place! The entire staff was so friendly & helpful. Started at the bar for a drink where we talked to locals, before moving to a table for dinner. Living in a small town ourselves we really appreciate the small town hospitality! Food was amazing. Will definitely be going back!

This was the perfect way to spend a bitter cold night on our first visit to Cape May. Everything came together for a memorable evening - a delicious meal followed by drinks in front of the fire. Kudos to chef and staff!

Beautiful vintage decor. Very cool bar with piano entertainment. Excellent service. The food was very good. Maybe a bit too pricey for a regular night out, but appropriate for a special occasion. We enjoyed the overall experience very much.
