Cape May Restaurants With Dining Reviews

Cape May, NJ is not the type of resort destination resort that you visit just once.

There is a special charm that brings visitors back again.

Cape May restaurants are known for their large variety of dining options concentrated in a small area.

Many of these restaurants are within easy walking distance from B & B's, Inns, Hotels, and Motels.

With many great restaurants and attractions though out the year, visitors return for a weekend end getaway, especially during the fall season with many theme weekends and the water is still warm enough to visit the beach.
