Amazing! We walked in and we were treated by a talking cow. Our little one loved it and warmed up to the staff. We picked up the cheese plate. We ordered it to go and they put it on a real plate. I asked about the plate and she said âyou get what you pay for.â It was a wonderful cheese plate with local honey and fig spread. We will be back every time we come to Cape May.

Visited Cape May last week and stopped at George's 2x. They made a very good and quick breakfast sandwich/coffee for us to take birdwatching; very nice staff. Day 2, hubby hit the trail and I came here for a peaceful breakfast on my own. Delish bagel, coffee (they have excellent Bonne Maman jelly packets....blueberry!) and time to read! I was hoping for chipped beef, but only on the weekends. Again, very nice staff. The place is pretty small overall, and I felt trapped in the booth...a tight squeeze! Waitress said I picked the smallest one, so changed to a more comfy table. Lots of parking right out front this time of year and they don't start vigorous ticketing until 10:00 am. Did not come for dinner as the menu was heavy on Mediterranean flavors; not our fave. Do give this spot a try; they are open all year, but with some reduced hours.

Tishaâs has always been a five star restaurant for my family and friends but our recent visit this past weekend left us very disappointed. We started with some excellent appetizers....their delicious fresh tasting calamari and an absolutely wonderful burrata salad with beets and heirloom tomatoes. So good that I will try and duplicate it at home. Entrees were definitely a problem. My wife got their special which was seafood pescatore . It was literally a huge plate of mussels in their shells. After picking the mussels out of the shells, there were literally just two shrimp and two scallops. I am not kidding you. For $32, this dish was appalling. My pork Marisa was not much better. It was described as a pork chop with apple brandy sauce and Gorgonzola crumbs. It was so devoid of flavor that I had to ask our waitress for more Gorgonzola. Luckily desserts helped end the night on a high note. Their flourless chocolate cake is one of the best weâve had and their key lime pie is the real authentic kind. Beyond the food though, our service was terrible; our waitress just disappeared. Plus it was so dark in the restaurant that every other table was using their flashlight app on the iPhone. I get that you want ambiance but turn the lights on. A disappointment for sure.

Went here during restaurant week 2019. The menu offered extensive choice in all three categories â that isnât typical of most participating restaurants. Yes, some of the items were smaller than the usual size when you are paying full price. But the ambience and taste were top notch. Started with the tuna tartare - very light. Diced tuna on top of seaweed salad on a single crisp taco. Small but well done. THe entree for me wasa lobstertail atop lobster rissoto. Delicious. Dessert was a fruit tart. Light as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We ordered ala carte as well as the chef's tasting menu and the garden menu (myself). I loved each dish from the garden menu, the portion sizes were right on target so that I wasn't full by the time my entree arrived (though I couldn't finish most of my dessert - the apple crisp). The first course was endive with goat cheese and a beet puree and it was excellent. I loved the berry-basil sorbet course, perfectly balanced the herb with other ingredients. The house bread was wonderful - warm, cheesy, moist. My brother's short rib was outstanding as well as his appetizer, the duck ravioli. My mother had the chef tasting menu, while she wasn't overwhelmed with the steak tartare, my brother happily finished it up. She loved the scallops entree. The setting is lovely as well - a comfortable distance between tables and especially since my elderly mother has a bad back and hip, comfortable seating. Courses were served in perfect timing, as well as the taking of our orders. The staff (wait and owner) were attentive, but not too much so.

For a very special occasion,it would be difficult not to make this a top choice. The appetizers and entrees were absolutely divinely delicious with a presentation that could not be beaten.The baby octopus and lamb cavatelli were a shared delight as appetizers. The salmon, crab cakes and Meyers Steak received high ratings from my dinner companions and my braised ribs were other worldly. There are many other enticing dishes on the menu just waiting for our next visit. The wine list is extensive and of high quality. Treat yourself to a very special night out.

Everything about The Red Store was great -- service, food, atmosphere. It's fixed price, six-course, creative cooking, great variety of dishes, beautiful dining room (we were inside because of the heat), friendly, professional service. The night we were there (7/19/2019), the menu started with a board called Pancitos & Picadita -- smoked trout, cured meats and cheeses, homemade naan, a brioche roll, pickles, vanilla and lavender butter. Along with that was course #2: empanadas (vegetable and chicken). Course #3 was delicious hamachi ceviche with watermelon. Then came squash soup with coconut, crab, zucchini and basil. I could have happily had another bowl. After that, risotto with chicken confit, tomato and cheese. Finally, my wife had seared scallops and I had striped bass. Both were perfectly cooked and outstanding. For dessert, panna cotta with blueberry. I would DEFINITELY return and we plan to in October, before it closes.We look forward to having you back soon, Michael! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and for the kind words.

Weâve been to Menz several times with family (not my choice!). I do not understand the fascination with this place. The food is overpriced and nothing special. The service was spotty at best-as if they did not have sufficient waitstaff. The portions are decent but for the price should be more. The decor is very eclectic...like someone took an antique store and blended it with your crazy uncleâs taxidermy collection (do you really want a deer or moose mounted on the wall, staring at you as you eat?). The gift/candy shop was nice-kids and adults will get a kick out of the âpenny candyâ. I get it that this establishment is a long time fixture in Cape May County (hence the multiple pictures of FDR). I guess everyone needs to go once for the experience. Do so, and then move on. And try not to be freaked out by the two-headed goat.
