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.

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.

This place has good coffee and lots of choices. I like flavored coffees (which a lot of places don't have) so I was happy.

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!

Stopped by late morning for iced chai latte. Nice vibe & good retreat from touristy walking mall area. Baristas were friendly & efficient. Chai was a little weak, but added pepper & cinnamon on the side bar helped to bolden the flavor.

I am really picky about hot dogs, but my husband and younger daughter love them, so we decided to try Hot dog Tommy's. Not only was Bruce, the owner, friendly, but they had something on the menu for everyone. I really enjoyed the Potato Tornado, and my older daughter gobbled up her tuna sandwich. My husband and younger daughter thoroughly enjoyed their hot dogs.

I don't even like fudge but after trying one of their samples - well ok...a couple of their samples, I was hooked. My mom loves fudge and so we went in and she spent a good amount of time picking and choosing 2 lbs of fudge. They even give you a coupon for your next visit that never expires. My favorite was the vanilla coconut - to die!!!
