Was DJ Smith at Mayer's Tavern a mag?
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. View all feedback.
What Linda Rice Bailey dislikes about Mayer's Tavern:
It was a horrible experience. We waited over an hour for a 6 party. After we waited over an hour, we changed the res to 2, since the other 4 of our party couldn't handle the horrible noise from the girls singing off key guitar playing. They then said it would be now another hour since we were just a party of 2. Forgot it. There are so many other great places to eat in Cape May. Don't go there. View all feedback.
We had a fantastic evening at this welcoming restaurant that feels like a cozy pub, with a focus on fresh food! We enjoyed the concise menu that offers something for every taste, all beautifully presented and tasty. Our server Kelly was fantastic. We waited until the busy rush died down and can't wait to come back soon. This place is a hidden gem in Cape May, with everything being fresh and delicious - you won't be disappointed!
This place is a bit of a dive bar with live music, but the food is pretty good. The inside dining area is small with seating at the bar, and there is also outside patio dining. We chose to sit inside, and the service was fine, but not very enthusiastic. We started with drinks and the crab fritters, which were pretty good, especially with the sauce. The cold front cocktail was excellent, but my wife didn't care for the hibiscus drink. The menu is limited, so we both went with the fried scallops that came with tasty french fries and vinegary coleslaw. The scallops had very little breading, but were flavorful and came with your choice of sauce.
Lovely casual spot. Excellent scallops. Pleasant staff. Nice outdoor seating. Highly recommended
Pretty solid food! Amazing scallops. Bartenders were nice and the service was very good. Had a great seat near the corner of the bar so we had an easy time talking with each other. Cozy little spot!
I must eat here when I am in the areas. It's just how it is. We stopped in early on Wednesday for dinner. I normally get the scallops although this time we decided to get a bunch of picky food and drinks. The cucumber mule is the perfect summer drink. So good! We enjoyed the pimento cheese, fried calamari, cold pick and peel shrimp, clams and crab fritters. Our waitress was wonderful and the food was awesome, as usual. It's a staple in my summer when I am down here because it is consistent. Great service and good every single time.
