The best meal I’ve had in Cape May in 10+ years First sign of a top tier experience is the service of COLD water. Everything we ordered was exceptional. Service was great. The brioche bread pudding was the best dessert I’ve had in Cape May, until I tried the peach crumble special. Both memory making desserts to cap off a 10/10 meal. Not pictured: fried scallops, PEI mussels, fried calamari all fire.

I started w a side salad that had a great Challot vinaigrette! Excellent. One item to note. You can’t serve a salad outdoors on a teeny tiny rectangle dish. I could not even cut up my lettuce without is blowing and falling off the plate. Please. It was so tasty but I’m not eating lettuce after it’s fallen on the table. Just change the plate.

The oysters were the best oysters I’ve had since visiting Ireland. The shrimp, the mussels, and clams were all wonderfully fresh and tasty. Best spot for seafood!

We had to visit our namesake while we were in Cape May this last time… Dinner was good, they have a smaller menu which is fine because where they shine is their drink menu. Every single thing we ordered was wonderful. From the calamari to the crab fritters. And the Cold front cocktail was a favorite of everyone!

Great scallops choice for Restaurant Week. Loved the fresh, light cabbage too. Maybe get rid of French fries – so over those as sides. Drinks were great. Lovely pace for dinner. Got to see the Sunset eating on the porch. Thanks!

Unquestionably the best scallops in Southern Jersey! Crab fritters have an amazing flavor. If you have not tried Mayer’s you are missing out on great food.

Such a treat, starting with the kale salad with tahini dressing and ending with the “fried scallops” uniquely prepared with crispy (but NOT breaded) outside, but moist and tender inside.
