I've been coming to On the Rocks since it opened a few years back. I've had mixed experiences in the past, but the last time I went, mid July, 2018, it was really quite nice. It's pub grill food--burgers, sandwiches, etc. As a vegetarian, I got the vegetable wrap with the truffle fries (which were delicious). It's particularly nice with kids. I have a 2 y/o toddler who enjoyed watching the ferry come in and out--although frightened by the loud whistle. He also enjoyed the small playground on the grounds and the lawn games they had put on the deck (large sized Connect-4, Cornhole, etc.) There's live music on the weekends in the summer, and that's always pleasant. ...and, of course, there's a full bar. My wife enjoyed the cocktails. It was a hot day, but the breeze blowing in from the bay cooled things off as we set on their deck. Keep in mind that folks smoke and bring their dogs on the deck if that is/isn't your thing. It's an outside space after all.

First, I will say the location of Blue Pig Tavern is perhaps my favorite spot in Cape May. This "resort" that has grown into a collection of many iconic properties and restaurants and that is perhaps the reason my recent visit to the Blue Pig Tavern was so underwhelming. I believe no one is paying attention to "detail" anymore.I frequent the Blue Pig Tavern several times each year usually as part of the "Dinner and a Show" offer. The three course fixed menu is seasonal and the menu changes are welcome; your ticket is included with the price, currently $59pp. A great bang for the buck! I do recommend that one makes a reservation for both thru The Blue Pig Tavern. That said, let's get to the details. The young seating hostess, while pleasant, lacked awareness of how to seat guests comfortably. Our seating was for an early 5:30 PM, along with many older patrons. Observation: While the less stable cafe chairs were OK for us, not so much for the more unsteady on their feet mature guests. Witnessed a few guests move themselves to booths or round tables for better personal comfort. Then as we were taking care of our check, the hostess moved together three cafe tables for two to seat a party of five that included a set of older grandparents, a child and parents, The father/husband of the group was at least 6'3" and barely able to fit on the cafe chair or under the table. Good Luck with a pleasant dining experience sir. Anyway, we were seated inside, at a small cafe table near the window. The seating hostess gave us the regular dinner menu, although we had checked in for the select limited menu reservation. Bread was served quickly, but was just ordinary white Italian-style bread, not heated. I remember of my many visits in the past to have had warm artisan bread served. When I reached for my napkin, it was NOT a napkin but the signature place-mat folded as a napkin. Finding that it would not work for me, and because my table attendant had not yet presented herself, I reached over and took the napkin from the table next to me. When is it OK to use a place-mat as a dinner napkin? The table attendant was also young and pleasant, but her table service was minimal the way it is abroad, "unobtrusive". Had to request ice water to be refilled and then waited for over five minutes for her to return to complete the task. The dining room was not bustling and from my corner of the room I could easily observe the non-productive wait staff across the room. No one was tending to tables or guests needs. The three course tavern menu always has a good mix of choices. We chose salad (Caesar & Beet); main courses (Salmon & Fish n Chips) both bland to the palate. My Fish n Chips were light, crisp and meaty haddock pieces (needed salt). The chips/fries were limp and saturated in oil, not good. I added a squeeze of lemon into the tartar sauce to give it a bit of something as it was also without flavor. The dessert course was the chef selection (no choice this time) of strawberry swirl cheesecake squares. Likely the best part of the meal.From my experience and observations, I recognize that maintaining a consistently well trained staff in a seasonal resort town is a challenge. However, I do believe that the management is failing to instruct their staff in American dining custom and expectations in a fine dining establishment. The service would be greatly improved if they did take the time to manage their staff and hospitality better. It is the small things that go a long way.In the kitchen, the chef needs to step up his/her game. Even simple food should have flavor and presence. Overall, our regular dining experience was disappointing ..... I am blue.

My wife and I arenât huge chicken wings fans, but we absolutely love the wings at this long-time Cape May bar and grill blocks away from the crowded Washington Street mall. When we do get wings, theyâre boneless, but at C-View, we get them with the bone because the staff says theyâre tastier (the wings, not the staff). We wonât argue â the wings are super meaty, and the skin is perfectly crispy. Since it was Taco/Pizza Tuesday, I gobbled down a $1 hard-shell taco ($1.50 for soft shell) and most of a large pizza ($5.50 plus $1 to cover it with pepperoni), washed down with a glass of Blue Moon from the tap. My wife savored a prime rib sandwich and took some home for a snack. The pizza crust tasted like a frozen variety, but everything else was great, and the menu has something for every appetite, from fish and chips and crab cakes to cheesesteaks and burgers to kielbasa sandwiches and chicken parm. Prices are very reasonable, the staff is super friendly, and the setting is old-school relaxed.

Finally got in to eat here on our last stay in Cape May! Will not be our last visit. Amazing artisan pizza in a fantastic and cool atmosphere. Great staff and fast service. Had a 45 minute wait, but did not mind as we passed the time, drinks in hand on the lawn of Congress hall. Hostess called when our table was ready. Canât wait to visit again..this will definitely be a regular stop for us!

I chose the Lobster House for lunch on a Thursday as I came into town for my first visit ever to Cape May. I sat at the bar hoping for a quick bite to eat. It was super busy and as I visited the bathroom almost 20 women wearing lanyards with name tags came and formed a line, so I assume some type of tourbus had let out. My husband and I sat at the bar for a few minutes until the overwhelmed bartender had a chance to greet us and see what we wanted to drink. We ordered a couple of Appy's and a lobster melt sandwich. Shrimp cocktail very underwhelming, in size of shrimp and cocktail sauce was weak, flavorless and liquidy / thin. The clams casino were quite the opposite, way too big in size and so rubbery, couldn't even eat them. The lobster melt was OK but I really expected the lobster to be more evident than it was. While sharing our negative experience with friends over the course of the weekend most said you must do the fish market take out versus the restraunt. Sorry, I don't plan to give it another try.

We haven't been in here since it was the old Bayshore. They did a beautiful job when they remodeled. The bar is located when you first enter and there are dining rooms on either side.We were there on a recent Saturday night and they were very busy. We got the last two seats at the bar. Even though the bar was hopping, our bartender came right over and took our drink order. Their menu offers lots of tempting selections. I ordered the Cheeseburger and my husband got the Red Brick Burger. Both were juicy and delicious; the portions were very large. They give you a knife to cut the burger in half and believe me, you need it. The burgers came with a big portion of tasty seasoned fries. Can't wait to return to sample more items on the menu.

A friend recommended Lucky Bones for their pizza. It is thin crusted cooked in a wood fired oven and is delicious. We had a traditional pizza and a mushroom pizza, both amazing. The mushrooms were fresh and perfectly roasted. The Manhattan clam chowder was the best I ever had with a nice subtle smoky favor. In a beach town where many restaurants are overpriced with average food this place is a gem.

We have been coming here for years during our annual family vacation to Cape May but sadly this year will be our last. We came during a party apparently where they had a DJ. Normally this would be fun, not an issue at all BUT the music was turned up so loudly that nobody could talk to anyone else, not even someone sitting right next to them. And we were sitting outside while the music was inside. We witnessed several people sit down, get up, then leave because of the loudness while we were there. Also note that this was not a nighttime visit. I want to say we were there around 3-4pm. We did ask them to turn the outdoor speakers down a bit and it seemed like they did but soon after it got loud again. The food this time was pretty mediocre. It seems to be going downhill ever since it was sold. Shame. It used to be one of our favorites.
