Charming atmosphere, cozy, bright and welcoming. The food was fresh, filling and fantastic. Especially recommend the Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Lemon BBQ Sauce (so delicious!) and literally any of their desserts. All so, so good.

The most underrated restaurant in Cape May! We’ve been vacationing in Cape May for over 10 years, have tried all the staple restaurants and Louisa’s is our new favorite. We were so excited to get a last minute reservation since it is packed every night. The food is simple but delicious, they use fresh and local ingredients and everything was cooked perfectly. The waitstaff are pleasant, knowledgeable and welcoming. Make sure you save room for dessert because it is fantastic. I HIGHLY suggest the chocolate pie. Since the restaurant is small, you feel like you are dining at someone’s house vs. a stuffy, loud restaurant. Louisa’s is our new favorite spot and a must try in Cape May!

Have visited this restaurant many times. We have never been disappointed with the food and service. After receiving my check at a very recent visit, I was surprised to see a 3% charge added for the use of my credit card. At no time was I made aware of this charge until after my card was charged. I understand that this is a new trend among some restaurants, but should have been told about that when I was called to confirm the reservation. I suggest just adding a dollar on each entree and forget about the credit card fees.

The food was really great and fresh. The fish was a really great and well cooked – we had the flounder and blue fish. The brown rice and the slaw were yummy. The salad app was a little small but delicious. We tried the chocolate pie and the cake of the day which were both very yummy. Would definitely go back.

I have to say, we have been going to Louisa’s for quite a while now! It has been a staple to my wife and I when we go down to Cape May on vacation. We got pregnant and were super excited to bring our daughter here now that she is 5 year old. Made reservations a month or two before going as its always hard to get a seat in there. We said it was for 3. The booked us with no questions asked and we were set. The day of our reservation they called to confirm, we were delighted and said it was for 3. The host (or whoever) was the person that day calling to confirm the parties said if you are bringing children we cannot accommodate menu items to children. We don’t have children’s menu. If you want to have something somewhat for children you can get a pasta that they may likes buts it’s 28.00. We were taken back a bit from that statement. We said all our daughter needs is pasta and butter. On top of that we said, nowhere in your site does it state that you don’t accommodate children’s menu or somewhere where it states “we don’t have a children’s menu” Cape May being such a family oriented town we did not expect this. Not even down the road at the trendy Ebbit Room where we ended it up going. No children’s menu there either but accommodated a delicious pasta with butter. I asked the host to make it a priority for future guest to know that you do not accommodate children’s menus that way a family full of kids don’t book a seat at your restaurant. I believe the initial call or on the website it should be stated clearly that you are not kids friendly Restaurant. The food is delicious and the desserts are always heavenly. This is mostly to educate a bit your host of communications and website visuals for families to be well informed. The host should be a bit more kind and have empathy to families instead of not giving options for us. He quickly showed us the exit door. Thank you.

Charming atmosphere and delicious, fresh, artfully served food. Swordfish was tender and juicy, and the beet salad with edible flowers had the perfect balance of flavors. We enjoyed the tasty, healthy meal made with fresh local ingredients (and a stop at Louisa’s chocolate shop afterwards).

Absolutely loved Louisa’s. It was such a perfect small restaurant dining experience. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive and made some great recommendations. The food was awesome as well. Make sure to save room for dessert, which was probably the highlight of the meal. I’d also recommend bringing a bottle of white wine, they will provide a chiller to keep it cold.

Amazing food, service, and ambiance! Crab cakes and fish were simply done to perfection. Do not skip out on dessert! Highly recommended!

We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The food and the service were excellent. Louisa’s Cafe is a hidden gem. We’ve been meaning to try Louisa’s Cafe for years. We called midweek for a Saturday reservation and got seated right away. The entrees were delicious and the desserts were superior (save room ). Louisa’s Cafe is a BYOB and there’s a liquor store nearby with a pretty good selection. We’ll be back.
