The yb Eat Place, Cape May, NJ:
A Restaurant Review

Restaurant Review

The yb Eat Place is the creation of Chef Peter Karapanagiotis The younger brother of John Karapanagiotis, owner/chef of George's Place, down the street.

Chef Peter Karapanagiotis, with movie star looks, comes with an impressive culinary resume. Prior to opening yb in 2012, he was the Executive Chef at Privé and Brasserie Perrier in Philadelphia. Prior to that he honed his culinary skills at Buddakan and Le Bec Fin. He has also been featured on the Food network show, “Chopped."

The yb is one of the top dining spots in Cape May and a place where you can get an excellent dinner with mouthwatering dishes, at an affordable price --- a rarity in Cape May.

Using fresh ingredients, Chef Karapanagiotis masterfully prepares a limited New American Menu with a Mediterranean Influence. The dinner selections are limited to 10 selections, mostly seafood, pork belly. Not often are their beef or chicken on the menu. Has a nice touch of their serving of an amuse bouche between courses.

They are located across from the promenade in the center of Beach Ave. The dining area is small with a cozy chic cafe ambiance, dimly lit with large photos of major international cities and black and white fabric covered banquettes adorning the walls. Black tabletops are set with a fork and steak knife wrapped in a cloth napkin pocket along with a votive candle supported by some loose coffee beans.
