“ This is a nice restaurant to take somebody for a special occasion. It's pretty fancy looking, the lighting and other decorations makes for a good ambiance. All of the food we got was pretty good. I really liked the seasoning on the calamari and on the chicken parmagiano. The strawberry lemonade mocktail was also made pretty well and is very photogenic. The lava cake is probably my favorite part of the meal. The service could've been a little more attentive but it's nothing to complain too much about. All of the food we got was good, but doesn't really stand out from other establishments. ”
“ The restaurant was beautifully decorated Service was outstanding. Food was delicious. Four course prix fix on New Years Eve We went early. We loved the whole experience ”
“ We had delicious food. Service was good. I have the eggplant. My partner had the salmon. Both dishes were cooked very well. They even acknowledged special occasion for us, which was nice. Thank you. ”
“ Best restaurant in Capemay. Will & Jodi are the best behind the bar. We loved our sever Devon. He took really good care of us. The music was great and the outdoor patio was such a vibe. I'll be back ”
“ Don't overlook this hidden gem in the back bays of Wildwood/Cape May. Incredible menu - highlights seafood of course, but they have incredible Italian-centric dishes, and boast some fan favorites coming out of their brick oven. This sounds simple, but I feel like I have to always call it out when it is good...their house bread is unforgettable. They are situated right on a marina, and have a nice outdoor seating area with firepit. Great spot to go for dinner, or even just for drinks! Service is always friendly and not top tier. ”
