Housed in a quaint Victorian building, diners are about to experience an attractive tropical setting with a charming walkway that takes you under cover of overhanging of wisteria vines towards the restored 1840 Victorian carriage house with spinning fans and trimmed dining rooms as they are seated for dinner.
Under the direction of Executive Chef Chet Saign, the well-executed, inspirational menu shines with a fusion of Louisiana French, Caribbean and Asian culinary and smoking techniques, prepared with fresh local produce and locally caught seafood
Many of their seafood and meat dishes are cooked slow smoked in their on-site smokehouse.
The staff at 410 Bank Street, from the hostess to the waiters are friendly, professional, and efficient.
Try for outside seating, under the tent. The noise level in the inside dining area is high and the tables tend to be close together. Seating on the Bank Street facing narrow porch is especially cramped.
Prices are on the higher side but justified by the quality and attention to detail.
A must-visit for food lovers seeking a refined yet unpretentious meal in Cape May.
Not recommended for children. Reservations during weekends and the busy summer season are a must.
