    Everything was great, the food, the view, the remolded upstairs and downstairs BUT the noise level on the second floor was crazy loud!!! We could hardly hear ourselves talk- it was like being in a night club. They might have to put some sound blockers on the ceiling or go to a rug???? It made it so uncomfortable!!!!!

    First visit, beautiful decor and view! We are local so wanted to get in before we won't be able to -menu is varied and interesting, we got entrees and just 2 aps- all good. Sushi roll was exceptional, special salad interesting and good- generous serving sizes. Entrees ordered- lobster with gnocchi, 2 nut encrusted black bass, and blackened red snapper - were all delicious, with included sides of veggies. We shared 2 orders of dessert- a cheesecake with an apple topping and strawberry ice cream-perfect!

    In my opinion not worth the money. They did a fabulous job on the decor however food was just ok. For $125 per person with tip just not worth it to me. There are so many better options in cape may

    Imaginative food in the new impressive upstairs space. Great gluten-free options. Attentive service. Sushi (crunchy spicy tuna roll) fresh and prepared perfectly and the wasabi is deliciously hot. Duck breast was tender and tasty. Lobster & gf gnocchi (rarely seen gluten-free) was amazing. Special salad with a kale base was fabulous - don't fear the kale! Will definitely return as there is so much more to try.

    Fun night & we were very patient so all was good !! waiter forgot part of our meal & also forgot the special price for the meal he advertised but we didn’t mind a few more cocktails while it was sorted out . If it were me, I’d give a complimentary drink for the mix up but oh well . We would come back in any case !
