Restaurant Review

This restaurant has recently been taken over by new management and in January 2011, underwent a renovation. In connection with these changes, they hired a new Executive Chef in February, 2011. Chef Carl Messick formerly was with The Blackfish of Stone Harbor, The Ebbitt Room in Cape May, and the White Heron Grill in Stone Harbor.

Since its re-opening, the early reviews are very favorable and have placed it as one of the top restaurants in Cape May.

Here you can expect well prepared and attractively presented contemporary American food using fresh ingredients while dining in an atmosphere of old world charm.

This fine dining restaurant is located in a charming Georgian Revival house, across the street from the ocean.

The restaurant encompasses several different rooms: choose to dine by a large fireplace or on the west sun porch. A great place for a cozy, intimate dinner, the tables are a good size and spaced apart. During the off season ask to be seated in the renovated "Zebra Room".

During the warmer months there is outside dine on the front porch with a beautiful view of the ocean across the street. Try to avoid the side porch dining room--- it's not as cozy and more noisy.

Dress upscale casual. Reservations are recommended.

The service is professional and friendly.
