  My first time impression was not great. I was excited about the piano music & romantic lighting. With reservations I expected a nice table, but my husband & I were sat at the farthest end of the restaurant where I could barely hear the music. When I got up to look around for another place to be seated the place was so packed there was no where to move to. We also had no lamp centerpiece like every other table. I had to ask for one which the nice waitress brought us. And we were sat by a wall that had a spotlight on it so it was obnoxiously bright compared to the romantic ambience the rest of the place. So with an expensive menu where I couldn't enjoy my seat I wasn't thrilled. The food and staff were average. Nothing spectacular for the pricey menu. If I ever go back it would be just to sit at the bar with a drink to be able enjoy the music.

  This place is a really fun night for a couple or a larger party. I always stop here when I'm in Cape May.
  Great bar and piano player. Very friendly atmosphere. If it's not too busy the bar tender will tell you two jokes for every one you toss up and some of the bar patrons will join in.
  The piano bar is jazz or standards. You're not going to hear classic rock or later.
  Perfectly adequate -- and sometimes very good -- food. Pub fare and more refined. Nice dining rooms if you want to sit down to eat at a table instead of the bar.
  The help are all friendly and nice. Easy going laid back joint.
  If you're looking for a good time where you'll have great drinks and good food and meet a lot of friendly folks then this is the spot.
