The Blue Pig Tavern, Cape May, NJ:
A Restaurant Review

The Blue Pig Tavern, located in the landmark Congress Hall Hotel, a block from the beach. has a charming, 1800's historic, colonial vibe.

The restaurant with dark wood, rustic tones, is spread over several dining rooms; one of them has an open-air atmosphere with a large skylight looking out over the colonnade and the hotels facades. The other inside dining room offers a tavern atmosphere, with a large wood burning fireplace, especially cozy during the colder months, natural wood floors, and comfortable banquettes.

During the summer months there is outdoor dining on the street level patio,

The kitchen is run by Jeremy Einhorn who oversees a new American menu prepared with locale, farm-to-table fresh produce, herbs, and eggs from their own Cape May Beach Plum Farm.

Family and child friendly with a kid's menu.

The Blue Pig Tavern is open year-round and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
