    Overall, it was a nice experience. I've never been here before and chose to make a reservation on a whim. It's very close to the Cape May waterfront and I could nearly see the ocean from my table. They catered to my desire for a mocktail instead of alcohol and it was lovely. The cranberry apple salad was very good, maybe a tad overdressed and the chocolate ice cream hit the spot. My entree though, for the cost, wasn't quite a hit with me; it wasn't bad but didn't "hit the spot" so to speak. I'd go again, because it wasn't a bad experience and maybe it was just a one off (or the meal just wasn't what I wanted). You will have to pay for parking, but it's worth a try.
