The best meal I’ve had in Cape May in 10+ years First sign of a top tier experience is the service of COLD water. Everything we ordered was exceptional. Service was great. The brioche bread pudding was the best dessert I’ve had in Cape May, until I tried the peach crumble special. Both memory making desserts to cap off a 10/10 meal. Not pictured: fried scallops, PEI mussels, fried calamari all fire.
Mayers is the best in town. We crave their food. The scallop platter, the burger, the kale salad , the clams……😀
We had to visit our namesake while we were in Cape May this last time... Dinner was good, they have a smaller menu which is fine because where they shine is their drink menu. Every single thing we ordered was wonderful. From the calamari to the crab fritters. And the Cold front cocktail was a favorite of everyone!
I started w a side salad that had a great Challot vinaigrette! Excellent. One item to note. You can’t serve a salad outdoors on a teeny tiny rectangle dish. I could not even cut up my lettuce without is blowing and falling off the plate. Please. It was so tasty but I’m not eating lettuce after it’s fallen on the table. Just change the plate.
I had the seafood tower which did not disappoint. Everything was chilled perfectly!
The main event was for sure the scalllops. Cooked so good they tasted like butter. Just melted in your mouth. The Cole slaw was good too. Fries cooked well but could have been a bit warmer. Not mushy. But not hot either. We will be back!
The oysters were the best oysters I’ve had since visiting Ireland. The shrimp, the mussels, and clams were all wonderfully fresh and tasty. Best spot for seafood!
Bartenders and servers were great. Super helpful for out of towners. Gave us many recommendations outside of their establishment. Food was great. Burgers were stellar. Kept the kitchen open late for us as we were traveling in. Nice atmosphere with big open outside area on the marina. Will go back when I’m in the area.
Third visit and I think have eaten the whole menu. All the food is excellent. My favorite is chicken with yogurt and polenta and collards. Very limited menu but all the food is done right. Full bar, attentive staff, small dining room with outside seating in the summer.
FUN, and near the water. Good vines,
good wines. Had lovely Spanish white meritage.
Today had a (new) appetizer--a great deconstructed salad with arugala fresh gold & red beets and wedge of GOOD blue cheese. Yummy
Great scallops choice for Restaurant Week. Loved the fresh, light cabbage too. Maybe get rid of French fries - so over those as sides. Drinks were great. Lovely pace for dinner. Got to see the Sunset eating on the porch. Thanks!
The crab appetizer, burger, and scallop meal were all exceptional. Will make this a regular stop when we visit Cape May.
Great place, good quality food. The atmosphere is super, there are a lot of waiters and they work quickly and with a smile, many thanks to the chef’s , as well as the owners of this wonderful place. May God grant you good luck, success, smiles of visitors and more visitors.
P.S. Musicians huge respect for wonderful music. 5+
Such a treat, starting with the kale salad with tahini dressing and ending with the "fried scallops" uniquely prepared with crispy (but NOT breaded) outside, but moist and tender inside.
Love it. My wife loved the burger,I loved the scallops. Nice atmosphere. Great service. Home made fries. Yum .
My wife and I ate here, Tuesday night on the 20th. Our server was Riley and she is AWESOME! She was friendly and always had a smile on her face. 10 stars for her. We ordered the large shellfish tower which had a dozen large shrimp, raw clams and Oysters. They were fresh and terrific. Another 10 stars.
The drinks........the drinks ..WOW. This establishment knows how to serve a drink. My wife had the Cold Front and I had a Long Island Iced tea. They actually put alcohol in there drinks, nothing watered down here. 10 stars for that as well. This place was on our radar for sometime and I'm glad we went there. If you are in Cape May, make sure you stop and visit Mayers, you will be glad you did. I can only give 5 stars here, but they deserve more, way more.
Unquestionably the best scallops in Southern Jersey! Crab fritters have an amazing flavor. If you have not tried Mayer's you are missing out on great food.
Still love this place for the relaxed and friendly vibe and fantastic drinks...but maybe the food has become a bit more uneven. Our scallops were very overcooked and the accompanying fries were served cold. The crab fritters were more like a a-suggestion-of-crab fritters, although the accompanying sauce was perfect. Expert martinis!
Recently redone and upgraded this is no longer a fisherman's shot and beer bar expect a chic local vibe with a new outdoor deck and large open bar window with a view of the deck. The menu is limited but all of the appetizers are excellent. Indoor seating with air conditioning or outdoor seating Worth the visit as many locals and Cape May tourist have found this new spot. If you boating in the area at South JERSEY marina or Cape May Marina its less than a five minute walk. If you are coming from the Cape May Whale Watcher you are. Across the parking lot. As of July 2018 the are only serving dinner and open at 5pm
Both the food and the service were fantastic.
Calamari for starters, Scallops for dinner, both were superb.
I can't wait to go back!
