    Brussel sprouts and fries
    Marla C.

    We went back to the Port this summer after how good it was last summer. And they changed the menu. We absolutely loved the Brussels sprouts and they are no longer on the menu. They were out of the spring rolls that I really wanted to try. The whipped feta was good, I would get this again. I liked the grilled chicken sandwich but I think $22 is a bit expensive for a chicken sandwich. The grilled corn and avocado salad was okay. I think the dressing needed more flavor to it, it was dull. My sisters said the first tacos were good but better last year. My dad got a chowder and he did really like it. My dad also got the flounder sandwich and it wasn't good! The tap water literally tasted rusty, they shouldn't serve it to anyone. I had a big group so we did have a wait. So be prepared to wait. We got drinks and apps at the bar while we waited. I would go back because the vibes are good. The dj was good. But I might eat before I go.

    Rainbow roll, tomato peach salad, sangria

    One of my favorite restaurants in Cape May. I love the ambiance of the outdoor seating area. They have a nice cocktail menu and wine selection. On my most recent visit I tried the sangria, and it was delicious. The oysters were very good, as was the tomato and peach salad. I had the rainbow roll, which was good but I think I would try another type of sushi next time. The best part of the meal was the crab and lobster chowder. It was so good the notes I took just said "soup wow!" There are so many more dishes on this menu that I hope to try on my next visit!

    This place is a vibe. It's on the water so it comes with a view second to none. Newly renovated and massive amount of seating , bar seating . There were many drink options we sampled a few different drinks all were cold and refreshing . We had the orange and grapefruit crushes which were so good . We opted for appetizers to pair with our drinks and a few meals. The whipped feta was so good. The perfect blend of creamy and savory. We also had the fish tacos which Came recommended. The fresh fried fish was good and refreshing with the garnish. The burger was good well cooked and flavored. The French fries were meh but we ate them. Surprisingly the service was good considering how crowded it was. The star of this show is the location . Can't beat a spot with a water view. You can also pull up your boat and have lunch !

    This is a really fun place. You can't beat the outdoor atmosphere. We really enjoyed the DJ who was remixing bands like The Rolling Stones. I would say the food wasn't the best. I have definitely had better sushi and the scallops were absolutely tasteless and so incredibly small for the astronomical price. The chicken sandwich was basic and I was surprised that they didn't have frozen drinks. I wanted a piña colada.

    Beet Salad And Avocado Corn Salad

    We had an enjoyable lunch Saturday 9.20.25. We sat under cover in the bar area at a table. You still have a water view in the bar. It was windy Saturday and that helped block the wind a little. We ordered a Lychee Martini, Cucumber Martini, Whipped Feta, Beet Salad, and Avocado And Corn Salad. Cocktails were well executed, food was delicious, service was good, and atmosphere is relaxing. I intend to return.

    Hands down the best atmosphere and outdoor dining i've been too. Our group tried a little of everything and it was all absolutely amazing. Hands down the best lobster roll I have ever had, even being to Maine before. All of the sushi was fresh, presented well and delicious. Drinks were also presented and garnished perfectly. Such a great restaurant, atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area, and hope to try the indoor menu next.

    We took the boat out & stopped here for a drink & bite to eat. Really great experience being able to dock our boat & get a table. They have the most fresh and delicious sushi! Very attentive server. Relaxing atmosphere. Always love coming back here!

    The food here is very good. Very fresh. The four of us shared two sushi/snack/ shareable dishes. It was a lot of food and we enjoyed it all. The service was attentive. This was a girls night out but this is a very romantic setting and the views in the upstairs dining room are amazing. Do make a reservation!!

    For having such an amazing experience the first time, we had a pretty awful experience the second visit only a few weeks later. I learned that you should come to Port Marina for lunch or when it is not as busy. We knew there would be a long wait and didn't even mind the 90 minutes since my husband and I planned to sit and enjoy being outside with a cocktail. Unfortunately when we finally sat, the food portions were significantly smaller than our previous visit, the service was extremely slow and the restaurant seemed dirty. There was unfortunately fecal matter all over the floor of the bathroom. When I reported this to the staff, it still hadn't been cleaned after 30 minutes when I returned. The line for the bathroom was also 15 minutes long. I won't be returned for dinner on a busy evening.

    Very fun place for dinner on a weekend with the DJ. This is a very nice vibe restaurant in Cape May, the inside and outside decor is amazing. The wait time wasn't horrible we waited about 30 min for 4 people on a Saturday night around 7. The dinner service was very good and attentive. The food was pretty good! Everything had good flavor would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Port Marina was nice. The ambiance is all about the vibes. The wait was about 40 minutes but we arrived around 5:20 on a Sunday. In town for vacation and celebrating our anniversary. We sat outside and got a nice seat by the water. Sometimes when you dine with a toddler, restaurants will put you in a back corner tucked away, but that wasn't the case here. Ordered wine and my husband had a cocktail. Drinks were delicious. We ordered their crab cakes as an appetizer, they were good, even my toddler loved them. Husband ordered fish & chips and i ordered a lobster roll. Everything was good. Our waiter was attentive. I took off 2 stars because the outdoor bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. There was tissue paper all over the stall floors. The trash bin was overflowing and there was no soap. No soap!! I'm not sure of the bathroom conditions for those dining inside but this is unacceptable. I hope the workers have soap wherever they use the bathroom. Management, please, make this a priority! More effort should be made to clean the bathrooms and replenish soap and tissue paper. Thankfully, this was after we had already dined and I was grateful I had hand sanitizer in my car.

    The food is very good, a bit pricey with drinks but definitely worth it, but crowded and long waits after 5. We came here for lunch and dinner several times and dinner time is crazy here. Have to say we felt rushed after waiting a long time for a table. Lunch was a totally different enjoyable experience. The lobster roll is so good and they offer gluten free rolls. Muscles are so good.

    This place came up on my Instagram as a new spot to check out and it was awesome. The place itself has amazing views and great food. My group and I shared the calamari and some of their sushi (all delicious). I got the lobster roll with butter and it was incredible, they were generous with the lobster meat and it was so yummy. We really had a great time , the music and service was on point . I walked in on a Friday during lunch and I didn't need a reservation. There is plenty of parking and it's a great place to hang out.

    Doesn't look laid back and comfortable anymore. Am I wrong?

    It is not the same laid back atmosphere as the old harbor view.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, they don't take reservations

A friend recommended this location because it was on the water and supposedly had great views. Well, she was not wrong! We planned to enjoy dinner there at sunset, and it was absolutely stunning. You can even see a shipwreck in the water from the restaurant. The food was delicious and the outdoor bar overlooking the water was definitely popular! It was packed. I recall having a refreshing, bubbly, berry libation. So tasty and beautifully decorated with fruit and a pearl skewer on top. My only constructive criticism is that this place is very busy and the wait time can be quite long. You may consider sending one person from your party there a bit earlier to wait for a table, because it can be up to an hour wait during peak times. (Not a spot to head to if you are very hungry and need to eat ASAP!) Aside from having to wait about 45 minutes to be seated, this place is a gem. Would definitely come back for the relaxing, beach ambiance.

    Yelp Mad Batter…read morereally impressed me. There we were, in Cape May on Thanksgiving Saturday looking for parking nearby. After finally finding a space, we walked up to Mad Batter, where there were already a number of people standing outside. We were a party of seven, so this wasn't looking good for us. Well, we had a Thanksgiving miracle. They had a table ready for us in less that ten minutes! The food and service here were both very good. I had the crab cake sandwich. It was very mild in flavor but still good. I recommend it, but I'll try some of their other offerings before I get it again. My sister-in-law had one of the specials, the Fried Tomato & Cracked Black Pepper Bacon Sandwich. She and my brother agreed that it was messy but delicious. The lobster mayo set it off nicely. Our server was really friendly and accommodating. She made sure we were taken well care of. We pointed out an error in the check, and she was very kind in taking care of it, and gave no attitude. If you can find parking, this place is worth coming to!

    The worse possible service ever! TO THE OWNER: Please…read moreremind all waitstaff to ask customers about any allergies before serving food, to ensure their safety and prevent any potential harm. I ordered the harvest salad with candied walnuts. I have no idea what candied walnuts are, so I wish the waiter asked if I had any allergies because they can SOMETIMES contain cinnamon in it and I am allergic to cinnamon. When the salad came out I started to eat the salad and noticed my throat starting to feel funny. I didn't mix the salad well so I just ate the arugula with the sauce and the chicken. Half way through I noticed there were walnuts and I took a bite of it and my throat immediately started to swell and I can feel my face and tongue getting itchy. Thank god I have my allergy medications on me, but what if the next person this happens to doesn't... We immediately told the server about my cinnamon allergy and the waiter looked at me like I was joking because I ate half of it and then asked me "So you're done with that?" and I said, "Yes I can't eat it anymore, I'm allergic to it and it's contaminated with everything else. I felt my throat starting to close up, but I am okay because I have my allergy medicine. " He asked if I wanted anything else and I said no just a hot tea to help with inflammation. I appreciate that the server was trying to help us out, but he still came back with the bill and said the owner is still going to charge me because it says candied walnuts on the menu, implying that it's my fault...I really expected this place to have better service, but looking at past reviews I can see how this place has overpriced underrated food and terrible service. They don't care about their customers and certainly just focused on making money. Hopefully after today they include that their candied walnuts have cinnamon in it! Or at the very least ask the customers if they have any allergies beforehand
