We had the 3 course pref-fix menu celebrating St. Patricks days. The food was absolutely stunning both visually and taste. We loved everything. Service was exceptional, I'd say world class. Fast, professional, always available without being over bearing. This is BYOB for wine/beer. We bought a nice bottle of wine that was $20 in the store, it would have been 65-100 with the standard wine markups most restaurants use so we enjoyed good wine at a great price, and NO Corkage fees either. There is a good reason this restaurant is the #1 spot in Cape May - it earned it and you will not be disappointed.

Westside Market

Reviewed By Carole S - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

A must visit.
Our family has shopped here for over 28 years. Convenient and courteous.
Always remembers our family, even by name, when we shop. Their fresh chicken and meat is cut to order. Their filets are to die for and their subs are great size and very filling.

After two decades of visiting Cape May, we discovered a new winner in the residential haven of Cape Mat Point. As you drive in, you may be surprised to find a restaurant among the sweet homes leading toward the lighthouse. Inside is a general store, hinting at years gone by, and a small interior space and an outdoor patio where brunch is served. I believe they also do lunch and dinner on select days. The choices were a tad limited for vegetarians I suspect, but the options were creative and delicious. There was a great Latino offering with rice and beans, plaintains and eggs. My basic ham and cheese omelet was overflowing with precisely cut pieces of ham. And the bread basket case with a croissant, cinnamon bun and a multigrain bread. The price is a tad steep so this would not be an everyday choice, but a choice you should make when you want to treat yourself.

I love to go here after a couple hours on the beach to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. I always get a crepe and recently I tried the Pina Colada smoothie, which is definitely the best smoothie in the Cape May area. Chill inspired me to start making crepes at home!

Each year that we visit Cape May we visit Sunset Beach and eat at the Sunset Beach Grill. They serve a variety of sandwiches with many side dishes. They have a Ice Cream stand as well, This year we shared a huge Philadelphia Cheese steak Sub. The food is delicious whatever you order. The view of the water while you eat is spectacular especially at sunset. Come visit when you are in the area.
