Restaurant Review

This charming, BYOB restaurant is located a block from the ocean in the restored 19th century Victorian Hotel Alcott. This attractive building was originally built in 1878 as the Arlington House and was later renamed in honor of author Louisa May Alcott who was a frequent guest.

Although the dining room is attractive, if the weather is nice, ask for a table on the verandah. You'll get a nice sea breeze while you dine. There is garden dining as well.

This is a good place to dine if you are looking for a cozy intimate dining experience, the tables are a good size and placed apart.

The hallmarks of the creative French cuisine are the sauces prepared with care and elegance, and are a complement to each dish, bringing out flavors without overwhelming them.

The menu is limited although offered with a variety of well prepared and imaginative seafood, beef, fowl, and daily specials to make your options difficult to choose from . You won't be disappointed.

The menu prices are reasonably priced, especially when compared to many other Cape May fine dining restaurants.

Quiet dinner music, including recordings of Yanni, round out this fine dining experience.

The service is friendly and attentive.

Not recommended for children. The restaurant is open from Memorial Day through mid September.
