It is more of a fine dining experience. Their appetizers are on the smaller side so you don't fill up with them. I had the steak tartar which was very tasty and unique to others I've had. For my main I had rabbit Ragu with homemade pasta that was perfect and the sauce it was cooked in was so tasty and I greatly enjoyed it. Finished the meal with desert which was apple cobbler. It also was very nice that they had a live piano player that would take song requests.

It's easy to get to all the shops and eateries, but you aren't right in the thick of everything, which made for a more calm and relaxing stay. The hotel has complimentary bikes, and we were able to bike to town in just a few minutes. The hotel is small and there are only a few guestrooms. We stayed on the top floor and our window had ocean views which was such a treat. I was worried about the room being hot but the AC was extremely strong. Rooms are a bit dated and the carpet really needs to be replaced. The bed is super comfy and the bathroom is more updated, but new carpet would really make the room - the current carpet is like a funky green. We had to try the restaurant since it gets such great reviews and it definitely lived up to the hype. The lobster fra diavolo was sooo good and came with so much lobster meat. Breakfast is included in the stay and was so delicious. They have a screened in porch that overlooks the ocean and there's really no better way to start off your day. Everyone that works here is friendly and helpful, and there are little cute touches like complimentary drinks and snacks, a wine and cheese hour and beach items like umbrellas and chairs. Overall this is a super cute hotel - it's classy and beautiful and the perfect backdrop for photos, and the oceanfront location is prime.

The whole set up is confusing. You have to wait to get seated, but then you have to go order your drinks and your food separately a la fast food restaurant vibe. And when I say drinks and food separately, I mean, order food in one line and go to a separate line to order wine. No opportunity to have a taste before you commit to a glass if you want to try several different whites or several different reds you have to order a flight. Because nobody's pouring you a sip and asking you what you think. I'd have had a better experience drinking a bottle of wine at home.

We were extremely disappointed with the Christmas walking tour. We were told to come anytime after…read more530 and that it was a walking tour. We got there at 630 to find out we only had until 730pm to do the tour. Furthermore, we were told only 5 homes were open on the night of our tour, and that only *2* of them were actually walking distance, in opposite directions. We had driven around for 20 minutes looking for parking for our group with 2 cars and 3 strollers, so there was no chance we were going to be able to load up to drive to another home, because the starting point was in Cape May Proper on the Washington Mall. The first house we went to was not Victorian, it was very very modern and newly redone, and decorated for the NBA because the owner became an NBA player, which was great- but not festive in the least. At that point we didn't have time to trek the opposite direction for house #2. The entire trip was a bust. We came to town for this tour which was advertised as walking tour of Cape May *Victorian* homes decorated for Christmas. We got none of the things advertised and paid $350 for the 8 tickets. The worst part is when I called to explain the chain of unfortunate events, saying 4 of us will definitely try another tour in the future but that this was not what we paid for, the director of MAC events, Janice, argued on the phone with me for 5 minutes over and over again. I kept explaining our experience above and she just kept arguing about what the tour is supposed to be- not what we received. I said we need a refund in order to give future tours a try. She finally relented and agreed to a refund, and when I thanked her she hung up on me- clearly a reflection of how they value the customer experience at MAC. Regardless of her unprofessional behavior, we will give a different tour another try. We will definitely be cautious in trying future tours but would never recommend the Christmas walking tour one to anyone.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable & kudos to the driver, CM is rich in history & there were plenty of great stories told. We took the basic show us all around CM tour & tell us about the homes & characters that lived here many moons ago. The homes are really gorgeous to look at & since this was only day 2 of our vaca we could appreciate it all the more later on during the week while walking. A thoroughly enjoyable way to learn the history of CM, highly recommend & reasonable price per ticket.

What a beautiful mansion with impeccable grounds & an inviting porch to lounge around on! When selecting your room, if the room is not on the first floor, note that the stairs are quite steep & can be a little difficult to navigate if you are carrying a lot of things or wearing high heels! We stayed in the famous Red Room on the second floor, room 3. It was a lovely room with very high ceiling & a very unusual painting. The bed was very comfortable & I liked that we could control the temperature in our room. The sink for the bathroom is outside the bathroom with hardly any countertop just so you know. Excellent breakfast - you do have to make your selection the night before which is a little difficult since sometimes I want something different when I wake up. food was very good & excellent service. I think a fire pit would be a great thing to add to the property. Other than that, we had an enjoyable experience & I greatly recommend this place!

Unfortunately, the once beautiful Southern Mansion is falling into disrepair. We have been coming…read morehere for more than 20 years and have very slowly seen its decay. In our most recent visit we observed the following: 1. Our shower was not as clean as it should be. The grout was black in some areas. 2. There were quite a few areas below the roofline that had rotted wood. 3. Rotted wood was also noticed on the bottom of the siding near the foundation. 4. We found the yellow paint on part of the building vs. the faded paint on the remainder of the building In desperate need of a new paint job. 5. There are missing roof tiles. 6. The gardens that were once beautiful were full of weeds and dried up flowers. It seems that management is restricting watering of the flowers. 7. The outside shower was filthy, it was smelly and the mold was disgusting in the once beautiful shower. 8. The breakfast was not very good and the cook got the order wrong. 9. The lighting that once lit the outline of the buildings are no longer used in the evening. It appears that the owner lost interest in this property and is probably going to sell it. To run it into the ground and in doing so alienating many loyal customers is not just bad business it's a slap in the face to the many families who year after year support this business I am being generous when I say this is a 3 star hotel at best Sorry to say it but we will return.

It was a nice late spring afternoon when we went so we opted for outside under their covered patio area. Our server was so knowledgeable, fun, and really made the experience that much better! He allowed us to unwind and enjoy the space and gave us lots of interesting information about the winery and its history. Including how they names their bottles which was a neat detail to take home to share (as we got a few bottles for souvenirs). We opted for tastings of their sangria (so cool they have a few options of these) and a flight of their other wines which were all great but our favorites were their summer sangria (with peach) and their sparkling white wine. We also got a few bites to eat as well. The food paired well with our wines and we left full, happy, and with wines to take home for all! Highly recommend Willow Creek if you are in the Cape May area. You will not be disappointed!!! Also they sell their farm fresh eggs so you can get those too!

It's exactly as you'd expect, although I'll try something different next time since stuffed French toast isn't quite my palate. The loaded tater tots is also a generous portion and crispy. The side of bacon was nice. Crispy, basic, not mind blowing but exactly as you'd expect. Fills the cravings!
