    Fried oysters
    Deirdre C.

    A friend recommended this restaurant to me when I told her we were coming to Cape May for my birthday this year. We decided to have dinner here on a Monday evening in mid October. We were thrilled we made that decision! There is a hostess station right inside the door. She was friendly and took us to a table in the back of the room we were in (there is another separate room in the back). We did not have a reservation. Our waitress Cat was wonderful!! Personable and professional, answering every question we had about the menu and restaurant! We started with the fried oysters and a harvest salad (I think that was the name of it). I had the seafood risotto and my boyfriend enjoyed the Thai salmon and shrimp. The food was absolutely delicious! We were so happy we found a new restaurant that we love in the area!

    This place was amazing and earned it's well known reputation for fine dining. First of all, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. The place was completely packed and I saw two parties get turned away simply because the restaurant was completely booked already. However, I overheard the conversation and I have to give kudos to the restaurant staff for having great recommendations for those parties to get a good meal. From what I heard, they really knew the area pretty well and I backed their recommendations too. We arrived with our reservation and were seated almost immediately. We had a little trouble deciding what to get. Luckily our server Kat walked us through the menu and had good ideas on what we wanted. We ultimately decided on: mushroom risotto and grilled polenta for appetizers. Seafood Pescadore and Seafood Risotto for entrees. For dessert, we got the flourless chocolate cake and bread budding. The grilled polenta had a great smoky flavor that paired well with the rabe. The mushroom risotto was really thick, creamy, and every bite was oozing with a savory flavor. The Seafood Risotto was also very similar and was filled to the brim with clam, mussels, scallop, and shrimp. The seafood Pescadore was equally chock full of seafood and sat on a bed of Linguini. It came with a choice of marinara sauce or white wine sauce. The mussels that came with that dish might be the very best mussels I've ever had. It was cooked tender but not chewey, and was seasoned with incredible flavor. The bread pudding had a caramel sauce with vanilla ice cream. The flourless chocolate cake was equally as good too with a gooey strong chocolate. As you can probably tell, I am raving about every single part of our meal. I don't believe we chewed on a single morsel of food that was bland or unseasoned. There was an incredible attention to detail on every ingredient on every single dish. This is definitely the place to go for a special occasion. The food and service have completely exceeded all of my expectations. So make that reservation, dress up nice, and show up. You won't be disappointed.

    Halibut
    Thomas G.

    This restaurant has become a staple for us. Not only is the atmosphere, service and food quality delightful but with all the competition of places to fine dine, it's nice to find one you grow to depend on. BYOB is option! We haven't had a bad meal ever. My wife longs for the Halibut dish perched atop of mashed potatoes and green beans smothered in some creamy gravy-of-a-sauce-goodness is simply different in a subtle brilliant way. I had a Chioppino style dish which was a special that night. I ate all of my dinner only to leave freckles of marinara broth as traces of my experience. No desert this night because we frequent a spot out back. Great meal at Tisha's but $$$ so fair warning.

    Pork Bolognese...outstanding
    Chris A.

    Both the service (Lisa) and the food were outstanding. This places has two rooms...one is lively and vibrant, and the other quiet and romantic. Food portions are just the right size and there are options for those allergies. And the location is right in the middle of the quaint downtown area.

    Clam chowder
    Sheila R.

    We had a delicious dinner at Tisha's. We arrived for our reservation and front dining room was packed, so opted for the smaller, quieter back room! Tisha's is a BYOB, so don't forget to bring a bottle! We started with clam chowder, burrata over arugula, and beets/gorgonzola over mixed greens. All were very good and fresh! For dinner, my boyfriend just really wanted plain crab cakes, so ordered 2 of the appetizer portions. The 2 arrived on plates as individual servings. Would have been easy and looked better to just put 2 on the one plate. Mom and I split the Thai salmon with shrimp over potatoes and green beans. A very nice sized portion, I'm so glad that we shared! We didn't even look at dessert bc we had to meet family. Overall, a great meal with good service. Despite being packed inside and out, Gavin did a good job trying to stay on top of things! It was a nice evening!

She explained everything to us about the menu in detail and allowed us to order our different courses at separate times. Never did we feel rushed or neglected. Onto the food: oh my God, what can I say? It was spectacular. The Spanish octopus was extraordinary. The tuna appetizer was a beautiful blend of taste and textures. The buratta melted in your mouth. The pork loin was so tender and delicious and the portion so large that even though we were sharing it, we couldn't finish it. The other entrées, the pork chop and the Seabass looked delicious even though I didn't taste them. While the desserts looked amazing, we were too full to eat anymore. We definitely will be back for another delicious dinner soon.

The menu was even better this time around too. We went for the prix fixe meal. We got: seared crab cake, yellow fin tuna poke, grilled octopus appetizer, rigatoni, Berkshire porkchop, strawberry panacotta, and dark chocolate tart. Everything was extraordinary. That grilled octopus was cooked to perfection. It was the perfect amount of charred without making the inside chewy in the slightest. The meat inside was still very tender. The yellow fin poke was an authentic dish with great portions. The entrees did not disappoint either. That rigatoni and the porkchop were both great main courses. The porkchop was easily my favorite dish of the night. Everything was perfect. The service was speedy, the food was delicious and in great portions. I would highly recommend visiting Grana.

    Ruined my family vacation…read more My family and I had been having a wonderful, stress-free trip until we made the mistake of eating here. From the moment we sat down, it was a complete disaster. We waited nearly an hour before anyone even acknowledged our table, around two hours for our drinks, and over four hours for our food. Our drinks weren't refilled a single time during the entire meal. When the food finally arrived, it was cold, undercooked, and completely inedible. It looked like something you'd hesitate to feed a stray dog. The meatballs were so undercooked I genuinely joked that they might still be moving. To make matters worse, there were enormous flies buzzing around the dining room and hovering over the food the entire time. It felt less like a restaurant and more like a picnic in the middle of a swamp. Swatting flies became just as much a part of dinner as trying to eat. I politely asked for a refund on just one item that was raw, and the owner responded with, "What do you want me to do? Lol." That response alone told me everything I needed to know about how customer complaints are handled here. The entire experience was unbelievably slow, frustrating, and chaotic. By the time our food arrived, we had completely lost our appetite. Even the live entertainment didn't help. The singer struggled through nearly every song, sounding like roadkill pleading for a second chance. This was, without question, the worst restaurant experience I've had in over 50 years. I would literally eat anywhere else. Anywhere. I'd have better luck grabbing a gas station hot dog or a vending machine sandwich. Even a homeless shelter would probably serve a hotter meal with faster service. The whole experience felt like an episode of *Kitchen Nightmares* featuring Gordon Ramsay--except there were no cameras and no happy ending. Do yourself a favor: save your time, save your money, and eat somewhere else. Absolutely awful.

Not knocking the Staff there they are friendly, small atmosphere inside outside just a bunch of chairs. In a small mall area. Near an Acme market. In my opinion and 40 years of food experience in all areas of the food industry. Breathe real air try the place at the beach. Taste real authentic Italian foods as well as African specialties on request.
