PRIMAL By Mia 406 Beach Ave, Cape May Seafood • $$

“PRIMAL in Cape May offers an exceptional dining experience! . As a first-time visitor during the off-season, I was truly impressed by both the outstanding service and the remarkable food. Chef Mia and her team deliver on quality, quantity, and value.

The meal started with complimentary fresh-made bread, followed by a delightful house salad. The main courses—filet, halibut, and a lobster/scallop appetizer in the shallot cream sauce—were all flavorful and cooked to perfection. And the Truffle Yukon mashed potatoes? Simply the best I’ve ever had. Dessert was a tower of homemade cookies surrounded by fresh fruit and decadent vanilla icing.

PRIMAL is a standout gem in Cape May, offering an unforgettable dining experience that combines exceptional service, expertly crafted dishes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or visiting during the off-season, this restaurant is a must-try. Chef Mia and her team have truly set the bar high—an experience worth savoring from start to finish!”

We ordered a pitcher of Iced Tea at the bar and sipped it as we sat out by the docks till our number was called. The food came out quickly and was very tasty. We enjoyed a beautiful atmosphere watching the boats go in and out as the cool breeze cooled out skin as we sat by the shaded docks.
I definitely recommend the broiled seafood platters!

We were thrilled to hear that our pup was allowed to be inside so we didn’t have to sit out in the cold with him. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They even gave our puppy a special treat. The beer was delicious. The tap room and bathrooms were clean. On Saturday, there was live music and it was so enjoyable. We loved our time at Cold Spring so much that we returned to the brewery on Sunday for the dog day afternoon special. It was so sweet. Unfortunately we observed a rude patron who complained about the dogs being present at the brewery (even though it is the designated dog day afternoon). If you don’t like to be around the pups, maybe Sunday afternoons aren’t for you. Everyone else at the brewery was kind and super friendly. Def recommend it here!”

Panico's Bistro 422 Broadway, Cape May Italian • $$

“We love love love Panico's! We use to always go to Sapore but Sapore has gone down hill since new ownership. We love how Panico's doesn't rush you, and you can take your time. The food is also great, I recommend either the 3 cheese chicken or the rigatoni vodka and ask for the chicken breaded! It is also nice that it's a BYOB, so it is inexpensive. If you're looking for good Italian food in Cape May, please go here and AVOID at all costs Andrea Trattoria. 10/10!”

The Lobster House 906 Schellengers Landing Rd, Cape May Seafood • $$

“It's been about 5 years since the last time I was here. I was worried the prices might have sky rocketed and made it unaffordable, but I was pleased to see that there were many affordable options. We took our number and waited to be called to order.
We ordered a pitcher of Iced Tea at the bar and sipped it as we sat out by the docks till our number was called. The food came out quickly and was very tasty. We enjoyed a beautiful atmosphere watching the boats go in and out as the cool breeze cooled out skin as we sat by the shaded docks.
I definitely recommend the broiled seafood platters!
The lobster house does not disappoint.”

“Was hesitant to try this place because of the lower star reviews but we thought it was delicious! The veggie pizza was so delicious- with a thin crispy crust. Also tried the buffalo slice and it was good! We’d visit again!”

“We celebrated our 53rd anniversary there tonight. They could not have been nicer to us. They treated us to a very special evening. Balloons at the table and complimentary champagne. They also treated us to a dessert of our choice. The food was delicious. I think we found our new favorite restaurant.”

“The owner is a local teacher during the year and a crepe maker in the summer. The crepes are made before your eyes and the fruit is freshly cut. The smoothies and drinks are also delicious. He puts a lot of topping in one crepe. This is our go to for breakfast, brunch or breakfast for linner. Consistently delicious and made by a really nice guy. We are usually first on line Opening Day and make many crepe stops throughout the season. We’ve been in Cape May more than 30 years and recommend CHILL as among the best in Cape May. Not a tourist trap. ; )”

Cafe Nutella 713 Beach Ave, Cape May Cafe • $

“"Cafe Nutella" , 713 Beach Ave., Cape May, NJ 08204, across the Convention Hall. Excellent Mediterranean Food you will not find anywhere in Cape May. Maybe you don't know that Cafe Nutella has a new owner and a new Restaurant. Master Chef Ahmed is an excellent cook, his specialty is Mediterranean Cuisine. I ate Oax Tail Tajine, Moroccan Specialty: Giant beef Oax Tail simmered for hours in house made j*** sauce, dried apricot topped with crispy onions. I also ate an Avocado Salad: Rich, creamy avocados, vibrant tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onions, and a fresh herb dressing. I can strongly recommend this Restaurant with all my heart; Ahmed, the Master Chef prepared the food with passion and a lot of knowledge. Very tasty, I had a great time., Ali”

“Pretty good pub fare with decent prices. Sometimes a little too crowded & loud for my liking,but most won't mind that.

They know how to make two of my fave casual meals: a Reuben and Fish & Chips, both of which in other places manage to be soggy rather than toasted or fried to crispy perfection.”

“Our family has been coming to a ca mia annually for quite a few years, as this place was one of the few more upscale places willing to accomodate my kids when they were younger. (Note: my kids were relatively calm, stay in their seats, and were not interrupting anyone else’s dining experiences.)

Over the years we’ve had the same server often, how he manages to remember is impressive. Service here is always very attentive.

The chicken parm is one of my favorite offerings, other family members speak highly of the scampi. It’s an enjoyable reliably good meal in a great location.”
