We've gone to Tisha's many times and their food never disappoints! We love a BYOB too!

We really enjoyed eating here the decor was nice and the food was wonderful. We wanted to try a couple dishes. I came here with my sister and cousin. They got the salmon with Thai sauce and I got the peppered crab cake and shrimp. Both dishes were delicious. Even though the crab cake had a little more breading than I like it was seasoned nicely and had a great flavor. The sauce was yummy and not peppered too much. Our server was Jersey. She did a great job, was efficient and friendly. We will definitely go back here . read more

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! read more

Food was a little but excellent, our server Cat was so nice and very attentive. My husband had a special-pasta Lauren, a rigatoni in a pink sauce with shrimp and I had the chicken Pasquale, both delicious! read more

First time diners here, we had a very enjoyable dinner! Ambiance in the front dining room is elegant and very comfy. Noise level is great for conversation. Our service was perfect throughout the meal. Not a huge menu here but there were several additional specials added to the mix. We started with the fried oysters (excellent) and the pumpkin stuffed gnocchi (declared by my wife to be the best app she ever had). For mains, we went with: the pork Milanese (huge and very tasty) and the shrimp and crabcake dinner (great crabcake). Great food, great service and very nice ambiance - certainly a winning combination!!! read more

Best New England Clam Chowder you will find. Also highly recommend both the Seafood Risotto and Pesto Shrimp and Gnocchi. Service by Barbara was perfecto. Love BYOB read more

Tisha's Cape May - Pesto Shrimp and Gnocchi - Seafood Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

I'm so happy that we ate at Tisha's. I had really good memories of eating here at least 10 years prior, and I'm glad to report that nothing has changed. Food is still incredible. This is one of the most popular restaurants in Cape May for good reason! Apps are where it's at! We shared the scallop risotto, calamari and rice balls and everything was standout. Portions are generous for apps as well! Service was also great. Don't forget to bring a bottle and make a reservation. Without one, you likely won't get a table on a weekend. For a quality meal in Cape May this is a must. read more

This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Such a gem located in the middle of the main strip on Washington Street. We were lucky to be able to get a reservation during our yearly trip to Wildwood and really enjoyed everything Tisha's had to offer. Food was incredible- my husband still can't stop talking about the sambucca cream sauce on his dish. The service was also great and really good with the two one year olds we had in our party. We're already looking to go back next year (and make a reservation way in advance!) read more

The food was stupendous as always. We started with the house salad which had walnuts, cranberry and goat cheese. The portion was large and we shared it. The appetizer of scallops and sautéed spinach was on point. The scallops were sweet tender and Lucious. My meal was seafood with a garlic sauce, scallops, mussels, and shrimp over linguine. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was silky and smooth with the perfect amount of garlic. Our server Diana, with 16 years of experience was always there to make sure we were satisfied and her suggestions were welcomed and appreciated. Our desert was chocolate flourless cake with a side of vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce. DECADENT!!!we sat in the rear area of the restaurant which was cozy and very pleasant. Make your reservations because it fills quickly. You will not regret choosing this place. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tisha's Cape May - Pork Bolognese...outstanding - Seafood Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

Good experience at a super popular place. Hostess was a bit salty but was eventually kind enough to honor our request for a particular table. Restaurant has a simple and clean design. Vibe was lively except for the back dining area. Food was good. Enjoyed the shrimp and calamari apps. Halibut and scallops entrees were very tasty. Key lime pie finished off the meal nicely but the cappuccinos were cold and had to be sent back. Service for the most part was good and friendly. Although the servers all wear these "purses" that hold service related items. Always felt like it was her regular purse and that she was on her way home! Would go back for sure. As others have noted, reservations are a must. read more

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! read more

The lobster bisque was amazing and I would 100% go again for this. But what was supposed to be pumpkin gnocchi - seemed more like pumpkin flavored pizza rolls and you got 6 for $20 cover in a flavorless brown butter. The waitress was interested in tables with more people and a bigger check, we weren't even offered dessert. read more

My Wife and I always enjoy Tisha's! To be completely honest, we find it hard to dine anywhere else. The food is amazing, hot and the Service is outstanding. When in doubt, go to Tisha's!!! FYI, they have outdoor seating which is amazing because they are located in Cape May on the historic Washington Street Mall. read more

Our server, Cat was very good! I ordered the pescatore with shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams. The overall taste was amazing. Two small complaints - the shrimp were overcooked so they were chewy. Chef needs to be aware. And the mussels were so tiny inside they shouldn't have even been served with the dish. Others in our group were very pleased with their food. read more

Great food and service! Everything was made to order, which means that our part of 8 lunch was close to 3 hours, but the food was all made well - clean and not overly seasoned. Service was also great. A safe and great option for a restaurant on the mall. read more

TLDR: rather overpriced for what was delivered We came for dinner and getting a recommendation from our B&B host. We got same day reservations with an 830 seating. We arrived very early and still got seated right away, at 810. This good because service was very slow. We ordered the seafood risotto and crabcake with shrimp. It took over 45 minutes to be served and it really wasn't worth the wait or price. The seafood risotto had a wonderful briny taste and the mushroom was amazing. However, the rice was a bit undercooked and the clams and shrimp were overcooked. The crab cake came with mashed potatoes and the green beans that I subbed in for spinach. Veggies were good, but plain. The crabcake was good but my shrimp were overcooked as well. Service wasn't bad, but I finished my water about 1/2 way through the meal and the server never bothered to check in to see if I wanted more. We expected higher prices for the vacation location tax, but we also expected higher quality preparation and service. read more

I haven't been to Tisha's in many years. It was always good but now it is great! I had an amazing special of scallops and mushroom fettuccine with a touch of Sambuca in the sauce. The place looks so beautiful! It's definitely upgraded since the last time I visited. A great experience overall. read more

Beautiful little restaurant. FYI: no alcohol is served so BYOB. I had gnocchi with pesto and shrimp. My mother had salmon and it was the best salmon ever. Wonderful service as well. read more

Excellent food. Severs were kind, thoughtful and served with a smile. I think the restaurant could use an extra hand or two or have less tables per server to reduce pressure on nights where they have more people. I had the watercress salad and the mushroom risotto. Both were good. Vibe is relaxed elegance. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We really enjoyed ourselves. Will go back. FYI- This is BYOB. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Cape May. Highly recommend a reservation. They're BYOB. We brought a bottle of champagne and they brought us the glasses and a ice bucket for it. They offer bread complimentary. The calamari and Lobster Bisque are a great way to start the meal. Only restaurant that rivals their bisque is Fredas. I always get the Seafood Risotto. I'll put a picture up. read more

Wait for table wasn't long whatsoever with reservation. Seems they turn over tables quickly Service by Lily was fantastic. Pleasant. Radiating. Good Luck with your first born Food was on point. Never thought I'd like pumpkin anything but the appetizer of gnocchi was delicious. Give me ossobuco anything and I'll take it down to the marrow. A must visit read more

We return to Tisha's every summer because the food is consistently very good. The risotto is especially outstanding. The servers are young, but clearly well trained. Two issues - the front room is freezing cold and the background music is horrible. I felt like I was stuck in an elevator or dentist office listening to acoustic versions of "classic" rock performed on guitar and/or piano. read more

Perfect Cape May dining experience, right in the heart of the shopping district, with great food, wonderful ambience, everything you could want! We'll be going back here every time we visit! And it will be the highlight of our dinners in Cape May. And that's besides the fact that it's located right in the center of the shopping area which makes it even more fun! This is a must go to spot . The food is to dream for. I had the halibut with crab meat, and it literally put me in heaven. Delicious and a good portion too. The filet mignon is nothing short of wonderful! For an appetizer we got Cajun shrimp and rice. This is a must order! Couldn't think of a better way to start off the meal. This restaurant is adorable inside! It's so much fun to eat here and they have a great selection of all kinds of food. Something for everyone. Of course, it's just great to be walking in the downtown shopping area and just step into this restaurant without having to go blocks away, or even a mile away to find a good restaurant. as you can imagine getting a reservation is very difficult so you need to do it well in advance of your trip. Highly recommended for a fine dining restaurant, while visiting Cape May, especially if you're looking to eat right in the downtown shopping area! read more

Had such an excellent meal here! Service and ambiance were wonderful. Started with complimentary bread and olive oil (so rare these days!) Had the halibut special and broccoli rabe and sausage pasta - both really great. Love that it's BYOB and right in town! A great spot! (Huge portions too!) read more

I can only think of positive things to say about this place. Everything was perfect from the food to the service. Our server had great suggestions and was very pleasant. The place has an interesting decor and was very clean. I think I may have had the best pork chop I have ever had in my 47 years of being on this planet. I literally can't stop thinking about and may go back today and order the same thing. read more

Eh...food was just average...service was fast and friendly...went on a summer Monday night for dinner, had reservations. Seated promptly. BYOB. 9 people in our party. I had the rice balls as an appetizer...it was ok. Main entree was the Cajun shrimp gnocchi...not Cajun enough for my liking, seasoning was on the light side. They have numerous gluten free dishes. read more

4.5/5. We had a great meal here. The Thai salmon and seafood pasta dish were both very good. We also got the blueberry goat cheese salad as a starter and it was delish. A slice of key lime pie to go rounded out the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, one of our better meals in Cape May! read more

We look forward to eating here every year, but tonight was less than enjoyable. We had to wait 15 minutes for our reservation, and the hostess failed to acknowledge the delay. Our appetizers (lobster bisque, clam chowder and scallops risotto) were amazing. Then we waited for an hour and half for our pan seared halibut. An hour and a half!! It arrived, and while fine, it was overcooked and under seasoned. We turned down the offer a free dessert, and were instead given one of our soups removed from our bill. The hostess made our waitress, who was awesome, address all of this and hid as we left. I can't describe how disappointed we are with the kitchen and the hostess. An annual highlight dining experience became an ok meal with weak leadership, only saved by Isabella's professional experience as a waitress. Disappointing. Do better. read more

The service and food is exceptional. Been here several times in the past and I've never had a disappointing meal. Love that it's a BYOB highly recommend it to anyone who's visiting Cape May. read more

Love Tisha's and loved my scallops and risotto. I adore sitting outside Tisha's on a summer night and enjoying my food, my conversations, and watching people pass that are enjoying their night also. The ambience is so romantic and cozy. I had a lovely time with my boyfriend and we look for to going back. Restaurant is BYOB. read more

After we left Tisha's, I told my husband that my meal here was one of the best meals I've had at a restaurant in a long time. After thinking it over last night, I realized it was one of the best meals I've had dining out EVER. We were with our dog, and they were gracious enough to accommodate us on the back dining area where we felt comfortable with him. They even provided us a doggie water bowl for him! We ordered the arancini appetizer - risotto and mozzarella - and it was outstanding. I noticed about five other people ordering it, as well. The marinara sauce was so good I ordered extra bread to mop it up with. Second course, lobster bisque. Yowza! Creamy, gorgeous soup with giant chunks of lobster. I could eat this every day and not get enough. My entree was the short rib bolognese. The pasta was done to absolute perfection and the shredded short ribs and sauce were unbelievable. The portion size was huge, but I managed to finish it all! I'm not one to order dessert usually, but I ordered the flourless chocolate cake, and again, it was beyond my expectation. Dense but velvety and perfect with the scoop of vanilla ice cream it came with! What a beautiful way to top off an amazing dinner. To top it off, we had the most AMAZING service from Sandy. She is a pro, one of the most outstanding servers I have ever seen. I now know why Tisha's has such a great reputation here in Cape May. I certainly can't wait to get back! read more

We chose Tisha's for a very special occasion. As we arrived for our reservation,we where escorted to the backroom. It was nearly empty,but our party was seated by the backdoor. The door opened and closed constantly,waiters and patrons going in and out to the patio. We asked to sit somewhere other than there,this when things started to go downhill.We got bad vibes from all the staff,including the front desk person. It was noticable that all the waiters and bus boy glanced at us repeatedly. They where very put out by this polite and reasonable request. The food:Extremely dark,fried oysters arrived,this item was difficult to eat,extremely crispy oysters sat on a few sad leaves of greenery surrounded by a creamy sauce. Without the sauce the oysters ate like sawdust. This should have been an indication of the terrible cooking happening that evening. The seafood risotto was not risotto and plated in a very unappetizing manner. A pile of seasoned,overcooked rice,was spread underneath shrimp and other seafood.The seafood was plentiful albeit overcooked and rubbery. The special,halibut,was plated in a haphazard,cafeteria style manner. A puddle of rice,next to sauteed spinach,next to a large serving of fish sitting on a lake of something white. Sadly the fish was mushy and unappetizing,the sauce uninspired white goo. This whole meal was not in the least enjoyable.The whole experience felt more like punishment than a special evening. This meal couldn't have been cooked by a chef,it was that aweful. The table next to us also had halibut,theirs was plated in a rather delicate nice way. The message to us was,by asking to sit somewhere else,we made them mad.Thus the inferior food,bad attitude and lackluster plating.It made me think of the saying,if you complain about the food they will spit in it.We complained and got rewarded with the worst meal in many years. Amazing that this supposed fine dining restaurant would put out this kind of bad,extremely overcooked food or shall we say slop. As for the service:Jersey,as all the other waiters we ever had there,was going by the book,doing everything that you expect from a waiter,in a souless,robotic manner. It is the kind of uninspired service you get at a large event,where the waiters are instructed to bring food,but don't interact with the patron much. This has always been infuriating in this establishment. Last night we asked for salt,so she brought salt,but not pepper.That in itself was interesting and a first. We have eaten at Tisha's many times before.What used to be a nice restaurant,a go to,will forever be stricken from our list restaurants to visit while in Cape May. Interestingly enough,Tisha's is not in the list of recommended restaurants that our B&B hands out.Upon arrival we perused said list and commented on it. Sadly,we ignored that red flag and made a costly and unenjoyable mistake. read more

Risotto was fabulous. I was after scallops on this trip and I sure got them... with risotto! Food, atmosphere & service were exceptional. Special props to server Barbara. She is pleasant, well versed, prompt and excellent. Playlist of exclusively cover songs done with a contemporary jazz vibe was a great touch to the mood. I will return and recommend to friends. read more
