    On December 28th, 2024 we had an excellent dinner at The Washington Inn. My wife had roasted wild mushroom soup, baked escargot, and the colors of the garden salad. I had 2 oysters and seafood cioppino. For dessert we shared Bananas Foster. All the food was excellent along with the service. This restaurant exudes old time Cape May quality and I am sorry we have not dined here more often. The bill came to $150 including tip.

    Always love to have breakfast at the Blue Pig when we visit Cape May. Their Eggs Blackstone is a unique take on Eggs Benny with their perfectly poached eggs are placed on delicious cheddar biscuits with sautéed spinach and crispy bacon covered in hollandaise sauce and sprinkled with black pepper. It is delicious and I have not found this dish anywhere else. The setting is always great inside the iconic Congress Hall where several U.S. Presidents have stayed. A must stop if you come to Cape May.

    Service was good, everyone had a delicious meal but some of the table ordered one of the specials and the serving was very small. Other than that it was a fun night with good food.

    My husband and I have been to Maison Blueu many times, and we have always loved it. The setting is gorgeous (both inside and on the porch). The service is excellent (ask for Dottie). We both ordered the local scallops last night. There were seven beautifully seared scallops in a yummy sauce served alongside perfectly cooked carrots and potatoes. We skipped dessert last night, but we always enjoy their crème brûlée. We love that this little gem is also a BYOB. It is intimate and classy, and you will leave saying “that was lovely from start to finish.”

    Small intimate dinning room in the Washington pedestrian mall. Professional, friendly & attentive staff. Attractively decorated for the holiday while still maintaining elegance. It is BYOB. The New England Clam Chowder was flavorful with generous amount of clams. Husband had grilled polenta with broccoli rabe & fresh shaved Pecorino Romano cheese “like Mom used to make.” I couldn’t finish my seafood risotto. So generous was the portion of local shrimp, scallops & clams though I tried ! Husband had Shrimp & Salmon with mash potatoes in chili sauce. Delicious. Try the Pumpkin cheesecake & you’ll think it’s Thanksgiving again. Highly reccomended
