    Cortado and friendly employees

    We stopped at Stowaways Cafe when we took the ferry to Delaware. We were immediately greeted with genuine friendliness, and the offer to find whatever sizes we desired for t-shirts. We only ordered coffees, but again the genuine friendliness and customer service impressed us. My Cortado was excellent too. It was a pleasant encounter.

    Nachos and kids quesadilla
    Amy K.

    I'll start with the good- the drinks and food all came out quickly. The ferry and boats are great for kids to watch to keep them engaged. Now the bad- they only have a QR code order and payment system. It's hard to customize food or ask for substitutions and no one can help you order unless you go to the bar. There was no pizza any of the three times we've tried this place since it was bought out. The drinks were very light on the alcohol and there were zero draft beers. The appetizers came out with the dinners. The nachos were huge and light on the toppings. He got the quesadilla and it was very greasy. My fish tacos had cold and bland fish- it was marginally edible. I really keep hoping the food improves but it hasn't yet since the kids love going here. Everything pictured was $80- there are way better places in cape may to go for that price.

    Shrimp tacos
    Tammi M.

    Probably the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. I was just waiting for the ferry and decided to get a quick snack. I'm so glad I did otherwise I would've missed out on those tacos. It's a beautiful spot overlooking the bay..

    The burger was good but unfortunately overcooked.

He had his hands full with several tables but handled everything really well. The food and drinks were terrific. My only criticism would be the cheese dip didn't have much flavor. It needed a little spice or something. We had the Tijuana Street Fries and Classic Taco Sampler. Both were terrific and huge portions for the cost. I would definitely eat here again if given the opportunity

Expect a long wait, but they are accommodating. After your table is called, they hold it for 15 minutes, which I very much appreciate--that gives you more than enough time to walk to the nearby shops or beach. The ambiance is nice, the tables are spacious, and the bar is long and open. I thought the tacos were alright but expensive and not too flavorful. I did really appreciate the wide selection of local fresh-caught fish, though, and could recommend going here for that reason. The appetizers are pretty standard, and I don't have much to say about them. I just wish there was more flavor in general. Additionally, the cocktails were extremely weak. I'm surprised they even needed to ID. Even people I know who are very lightweight commented on how light the alcohol was. I really liked the flavor and balance of the syrups, but a $15+ cocktail should highlight the liquor. The DJ was not good the night I went, but I'm not sure if that's a consistent issue or just a one-time thing. Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back. I just genuinely think the other restaurant selection in Cape May is good enough that I wouldn't spend a meal here during a limited trip.

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
