    The food was ok. The service and ambiance were excellent. Parking g is evening. This can be a very romantic place to eat.

    We stopped by while in the area as we were up for some Mediterranean cuisine and this place did not disappoint! Environs were nice - nice view of the water outside. Service was was excellent and pacing of apps/entrees/desert was perfect! Salads were fresh, entrees were great - mine was Salmon which was cooked perfectly, and dessert was awesome, too. Next time in the area, we will add this venue to the dining rotation! Highly recommended!

    For starters...we did not have reservations. The hostess offered us a seat outside on a 100* weather day. I inquired about the bar area-and she said we could sit where there was not a linen table cloth. Yay! The bar area was the perfect t place for me and my friends. It had good entertainment-a man singing and playing a guitar. We enjoyed the pineapple sangria and were allowed to order from the dinner menu that's offered in the fine dining area. Our service when we sat down was quick but then became slow because the bar got crowded. We ordered the chicken parm and a burger. Both were delicious. The most outstanding garlic rolls with a garlic olive oil accompanied the chicken! Our servers were overwhelmed but I would still go back and sit in the bar area again. Who needs a tablecloth?

    This is a nice restaurant to take somebody for a special occasion. It's pretty fancy looking, the lighting and other decorations makes for a good ambiance. All of the food we got was pretty good. I really liked the seasoning on the calamari and on the chicken parmagiano. The strawberry lemonade mocktail was also made pretty well and is very photogenic. The lava cake is probably my favorite part of the meal. The service could've been a little more attentive but it's nothing to complain too much about. All of the food we got was good, but doesn't really stand out from other establishments.

    Outdoor seating with a great ambience

    A great vibe in Cape May right on the Bay. We were meeting friends for a night out and had my 2 kids with us (10/12yos). We chose this spot because of the wood pizzas on the menu but found out this was the bar area only. But that's ok because my kids still thoroughly enjoyed the garlic bread for the table and their meal options. It was a great night out and experience! We were well taken care of by the server and support team! Stick with the meat options - my kids enjoyed the crispy fish and lemon chicken but the pasta dish I ordered left much to be desired for the price point (literally tasted like a frozen lean cuisine dish). I liked the experience but for the price point...the food was just meh. Not bad...but not great.

The veal Valdostana was somewhat tough, and when I asked for whipped garlic potatoes as opposed to the roasted potatoes, I was still served the roasted potatoes. I did mention it to the server and was brought a side order of the whipped garlic potatoes which was appreciated. What ruined the evening was a table of individuals who were exceptionally loud. They were obviously overly intoxicated and in any other establishment would have been quieted or asked to leave, but the management just allowed their behavior continue to the consternation of other diners. It is for this reason that I am sure it will be a long time before I ever visit this establishment again.

Reservations seem highly recommended because it seems most people came here with one. It's fine dining (price-wise - very reasonable for fine dining). It's also BYOB -- like the name says. I loved every moment of this. Service was very attentive and professional. I did feel worried that I was a bit underdressed because I had tennis shoes on, but it was not an issue. It is not a huge restaurant, but it's elegant and definitely meant more as a special night out than a casual spot. If you are looking for seafood options, look no further than here. If you want to impress someone, take them here. Now, onto the food. The bread is complimentary and we ate it all (along with our refill). The butter was freshly made, I believe. I had the winter prix fixe menu and my sister ordered à la carte. Their prix fixe and tasting menus tend to change quite often so it'll always be interesting. My sister ordered the Spanish octopus (1st course) and the Scottish Salmon. I had some of her octopus and salmon. They were both such well-made dishes. We would definitely order the octopus again. Chewy and delicate. I had the arancini, fra diavolo, and the chocolate tart. It was absolutely delicious. The arancini were small, but it was still well filled with tiny bites of clam. The fra diavolo was also very good and filling. Plenty of seafood to go around in that dish. Spicy too, which I like. At the end, we shared a chocolate tart -- and I must say, we were already full at this point. The chocolate was rich and the pistachio ice cream was perfect. We will definitely be back.

We started with the caprese salad, which was fresh and exactly what you want from a starter, followed by the summer corn soup, which was comforting without feeling heavy. The standout was the special New York strip. It arrived beautifully cooked, tender and flavorful. Service was equally strong by being attentive without being overbearing. The one misstep was the rigatoni, essentially a truffle mac and cheese with mushrooms and shaved truffles. On paper, it sounded promising, especially paired with a steak. In practice, it was overwhelmed by garlic to the point that the garlic eclipsed nearly everything else. There was also surprisingly little rigatoni pasta; the dish was dominated by mushrooms. We wouldn't order the pasta again, but that's a relatively minor complaint for an otherwise excellent meal. Grana is absolutely worth a return visit and there's plenty on the menu that we'd happily order again. It gets a relatively older crowd, but I don't mind if that food is good.

You have to almost walk in the street just to get around the corner. We were greeted upon arrival and seated almost immediately. Hostess was very pleasant and the service was decent. I wish they checked in on us a little more. I had to ask another server for a spoon and extra dipping oil. For an appetizer we ordered the squid and calamari. Both were very good, but the calamari was only the rings and didn't come with any sort of dipping sauce which I think would have been nice. Everything ordered was good and so was the portion size. All the plates came in around $40 each. I had the spicy salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. IMO, it wasn't that spicy. It seemed like they used a crunchy chili oil to give it the heat. It was serves with rich which had no taste and asparagus which was fibrous and undercooked. The bread and dipping oil was absolutely delicious and the mini pumpkin cheesecake was rich and velvety. In addition to the 1 dessert, we had 2 cappuccino's and 2 coffees, No drinks or alcohol. For 5 people, tax and tip (20%) ended up coming in at just under $350. A bit much, but it is Cape May.
