Restaurant Review
Located in the the landmark Congress Hall Hotel, a block from the beach, the Blue Pig Tavern is open year round and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant is made up of several dining rooms; one of them has an open air atmosphere with a a large skylight looking out over the colonnade and the hotels facades. The other inside dining room offers a tavern atmosphere, with a large fireplace, especially cozy during the colder months, natural wood floors, and comfortable banquettes. During the summer months there is outdoor dining on the street level patio. The restaurant, while serving up good, well prepared food, at a reasonable price, offers a limited menu of traditional selections and does not distinguish itself from many of the other fine dining Cape May restaurants. On each day of the the week they offer Blue Pig Blue Plate Specials, with choice of house salad or soup, that are recommended. When available, for dinner starters, try the Chili-Glazed Black Tiger Shrimp served over mixed greens with toasted sesame vinaigrette and crispy noodles; and the Oysters Rockefeller with braised spinach, pernod and Hollandaise. When not ordering the Blue Pig Blue Plate Specials for a dinner entree, other popular choices are: Steak Diane, a 12oz. New York steak with button mushrooms and asparagus; and the Pan-Seared Grouper Fillet served over herbed cous cous with olive-tomato tapenade and lemon-caper sauce. Family and child friendly with a kids menu. Service at the Blue Pig Tavern during busy summer months can be spotty.
