    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!

While there are…read moreseveral places in Cape May to get a Lobster Roll, we chose Cape May Fish Market because it had lots of seating indoors & out. It was quite chilly while we visited Cape May so we really wanted to sit inside. First, the positive: The place is clean and the staff is nice. The Lobster Roll is delicious and the Shrimp Cesar Salad tasted good, but this is also where it goes bad. It is a huge salad and only had 3 shrimp. The cost of the salad is the same as the Lobster Roll. There is no way a salad should cost 26.99 and only have 3 shrimp. A pound of shrimp market value is approximately $25.99 depending on size & location. When it was expressed to our server, she quoted market price increases and that we could order more shrimp at an upcharge. If market price for shrimp is that bad, take it off the menu or offer alternatives like adding chicken that won't result in an upcharge or advise your customers upon ordering that they'd only get 3 shrimp. Hubs probably would have ordered something else. It's Cape May Fish Market so they should be upfront about their seafood. I didn't really care for the fact that we asked about it and were brushed off. While we'll definitely return to Cape May, we may not return here. .

She had the farm fresh salad. Both flavorful. Entree for me, 2 sautéed soft shell crab special. Don't knock them until you've tried. I am a huge fan and these did not disappoint! Cooked perfectly with a nice crunch to the shell. I will not eat if battered and fried. Scallops for my friend. We shared the dark chocolate salted Carmel bread pudding.

Reservations are a must and don't forget to BYOB. The vibes are quaint with a very small indoor dining room and an outdoor patio that's a bit larger. I'm really glad we requested a table outside, because the patio was so nice on a warm summer evening. What we ate -- started things off with mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad (on special) and kale cesar. All produce is sourced locally from Beach Plum Farm and both dishes were fab. For our main we shared crab cakes and scallops. Both were so fresh and came with a large portion. Every entree comes with brown rice and house cabbage slaw. Reviews will mention that this is pretty plain, but with the fresh seafood and dipping sauces it's really the perfect accompaniment. The scallops came with a delicious sweet ginger sauce and the crab cakes came with a creamy lemony tartar sauce. The decor is fun and kitschy and the inflatable whale in the bathroom tub made me laugh. Don't forget to grab a chocolate bar at the Louisa's chocolate shop which is adjacent to the restaurant. I'll be thinking about this meal for a while.

First, we were seated in the back where the wait station and door to kitchen was located and staff was just standing around.

So we went early (no problem being seated around 5:30 or so, but it did seem full an hour later) and were we ever rewarded. Everything was simply perfect, including Vicki, our veteran and down to earth waiter. When we are unsure of things, she provided expert guidance with kindness and wisdom. The mussels appetizer are an experience not to be missed - save the bread for lapping up its saucy juice. My wife loved the pork chop - its huge and she took half home for lunch. I devoured the blackened fish of the day over bok choy. Both simply were outstanding. If/when again in Cape May again, we'd certainly come back. With a reservation!

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
