Our whole expert was above our expectations. A classy restaurant with a small menu that does everything right. There is something for everyone on the menu and every dish is special. We had the Scallop Risotto and the pesto shrimp gnocchi! Both were delicious. Sandy was a great waitress in explaining the menu and specials. My congratulations to the ownership, chef and the staff for an excellent dinner experience! read more

We had the best meal we've had in a LONG TIME at Tisha's last night. We had the lobster bisque, burrata and peach salad, scallops special, and chicken Milanese. WOW. Everything was perfect. When we thought it couldn't be any better, then dessert came. The bread pudding and flourless chocolate cake were extraordinary, at Danny's recommendation. The service with Danny was top tier. We ate on the back patio, it was quiet with excellent music. We cannot wait to go back and order the same exact this. Dreaming of Tisha's until then... read more

Nice place for dinner and they had great seafood pasta dishes including muscles over linguine!! Service was good as well!!

One of the best dinners I have ever had-top 3. Everything on the menu looked good! The blueberry vanilla goat cheese was unbelievable! I wish there were more pieces of it in the appetizer. The mushroom risotto was one of my mom's favorite/ the scallops were cooked to perfection. I can't talk enough about the food. The pesto sauce on the shrimp and gnocchi was so creamy and flavorful, I couldn't put down my fork. My mom and I also agree- this is one of the best crabcakes we've ever had. It didn't have a lot of bread filling, it was mostly crab and wow! I highly highly recommend the food here. Bonus: We also had a very kind, skilled server:) read more

This restaurant always has amazing food it's a bring your own bottle. It's located right in downtown Cape May so it's great for taking a nice stroll after dinner read more

Great all around. Food. Staff. Ambiance. Must go. BYOB. Would go back next time in Cape May.

Tisha's is one of the best in the Washington Square area. It shows because if you want a table, you need to reserve ahead of time. There are a few tables outside available which don't require a reservation but there could be a long wait for them. The waitress who served us was very knowledgeable and knew the menu well. The food was excellent and I recommend to try the clam chowder for an appetizer. For the main courses, I had the pesto shrimp and gnocchi. It was a 4/5 meal, I think I would have liked a bit more sauce on my food. My child tried the Pescatore. It was a special that night but it was very good. In terms of alcohol, there is a limited selection with mostly wine. We had a local white wine and it was spectacular. Finally, as for the pricing, it is a bit expensive but the food is well worth it. read more

Brought a friend here for the first time. Not to disappoint, she loved the food as much as I always do. Our server (Dan or Dean? Sorry) was very helpful. Answered all my questions and gave his suggestions. Mussels were part of the specials for an appetizer. Done in a curry sauce. Scallop Risotto and burrata salad rounded out our meal. Kept it light and finished with oh soo creamy vanilla bean ice cream! Will be back, Tisha's is one of my favorite spots read more

Tisha's is located right in the Washington Street Mall & it has a cute slightly upscale vibe. We had a reservation for 8, but when we arrived they notified us that they were behind & that they would text us. It didn't bother me too much, we had time to walk around and enjoy the mall. We were seated around 815, and greeted immediately with water & an ice bucket for our white wine. We each ordered an appetizer that were AWESOME. I had the Burrata Salad which was very balanced. The arugula was peppery, the burrata creamy & the beets earthy/sweet. My husband the scallop appetizer, which honestly was the star of our entire meal. The risotto was seasoned perfectly and was so tender, while the scallops were caramelized. It was so good! For dinned I ordered the seafood risotto, which was honestly disappointing in comparison to the scallop appetizer. I wished it had more garlic, but that is just my preference. It was good, not great. My husband ordered the peppered shrimp & crab cakes. He enjoyed it & joined the clean plate club. We did get Tiramisu for dessert (a favorite of mine) & I appreciated the espresso flavor. It was creamy and perfectly bitter. Ultimately, if I were to come back I would probably just ordered several appetizers because they were phenomenal. read more

We had reservations for Tisha's (thanks, OpenTable!) for an early birthday celebration. First, we loved the BYOB and we came prepared thanks to the reviews posted. We didn't know it was Restaurant Week but it was a pleasant surprise! All five of us decided to partake in the RW menu which was a set menu with 4 different appetizers, 4-5 entrees and 3 desserts. For apps, we got the shrimp polenta, burrata salad and calamari. The shrimp polenta was the best of the three but all of them were delicious and large for one person. The calamari was well cooked and had great flavor as did the burrata salad. We would definitely get all 3 of them again. For entrees, we got two strip steaks, two gnocchis with Gorgonzola sauce and the swordfish. Each portion was large and tasty. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The gnocchi dish came with spinach and roasted red peppers which was outstanding. The swordfish was great and got rave reviews. For dessert, we got 2 key lime pies and 3 blueberry pound cakes. The pound cake was just ok but the key lime pie was to die for. Would pass on the blueberry in the future but we would 100% get again and recommend the key lime pie. Our server and the ambience was awesome. We truly enjoyed our experience at Tisha's and would go back again! read more

One star is one too many. This restaurant came recommended by friends. I liked the menu and was looking forward to our dinner, expecting to spend some real money on a fine dining experience. Alas, it was not to be. Our Open Table reservation was for 6:45 PM on 9/17/2025. Due to parking issues we arrived late, but still within the 15 minute grace period. I apologized for the delay, but as a welcome, the hostess read us the riot act instead, just in case we would "arrive late the next time." When I asked if she still had a table available, she responded yes and pointed to a table in front of the door. The other option was in the back. When I asked where in the back, she answered "next to the toilet". At that point my husband decided, he had heard enough and we told her to cancel our reservation and left. No need to say, that we will not be back for this kind of rude treatment. We dined at a restaurant nearby, where the hostess was gracious and welcoming and our patronage was appreciated. read more

Delicious anniversary dinner! Great service. I had the lobster bisque for an appetizer, which was amazing. For an entree, I had the pesto shrimp and gnocchi-- very, very filling & tasty (love pesto--forgot to take a photo!) For dessert, we had bread pudding with caramel ice cream. The MOST delicious bread pudding and they wrote an anniversary message for us. read more

Tried to eat there the other night and hostess very rude. Extremely warm and wanted us to sit outside in direct sunlight not happening so she huffs and takes us to back patio. Shaded but no airflow. They act like they're doing you a favor to charge $50 for a piece of fish. Too arrogant and lazy to install ceiling fans and portable fans. read more

Been coming to Tisha's for dinner every time we visit Cape May for the past 4 years! Food has been consistently very good as was last nite 9/9/25. The reason for the 3 stars is the hostess "Linda". I make my reservation at least a month in advance requesting an outside table in the back by the heaters as I do every year and have had no problems until last night! We stopped in in the afternoon to check on our reservation and was told our table was in the outside front tables (no heaters) I requested the back as stated in my reservation and was told they would see what they could do when we arrived for dinner that night ! Well, Linda did nothing and could care less. She just said that's where our table was and could do nothing about it! She was not only willing to try and accommodate us she was down right rude! So Tisha's, get your act together and learn how to treat repeat customers that spend over 300.00 for dinner every time we come. We will go elsewhere there are too many other excellent restaurants in Cape May to deal with being treated rudely! read more

The food was good with nice flavors and presentation not spectacular. The service abysmal. Unfortunately not the fine dining experience we hoped for. read more

Never have gotten a poor meal here. The service is on point in high season. The ambiance is very nice. Don't try to go without a reservation or make one well in advance! read more

Arguably the best restaurant in Cape May. Food is outstanding, service is impeccable, mood is upscale but relaxed, location is in the center of everything. We started with burrata and heirloom cherry tomatoes and moved on to the Seafood Linguini Pescatore done spicy. It was delicious with clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops. We also had the Curry Scallops over risotto. Both were perfect. Tisha's is a BYO, but they do offer bottles of Cape May Vineyards wines exclusively. If you plan on having only wine, I'd highly recommend trying a bottle of the Cape May wine offered there. We especially enjoyed the Petite Sirah which was as good as any California wine. And we also felt good about supporting a local winery. Seated at an outside corner table, watching the Cape May tourists pass by, listening to 40's jazz and enjoying a great meal made for a pretty perfect experience. read more

The service was friendly, but the food was just mediocre. Some dishes were better than others, but nothing really stood out. I might come back if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip. read more

I have visited this Resturant a few times. Overall was ok. My last visit the hostess was not very nice or accommodating . We added 1 person to a table of 4. We called ahead in the afternoon. No one answered but we left a detailed message. When we arrived and explained the hostess refused to seat us. They did not have any extra chairs! We waited an hour for a larger table. She was apologetic for the wait in the end. Food was ok. Just disappointing that they couldn't care less about their guests. read more

I don't know. They are always uptight in this restaurant, and on the verge of being rude, if any at all tiny questions/issues. I've eaten there at least 3 times. The food is fine. But the service is not a a relaxing one. Not going back. read more

Our group of four all had outstanding dishes! I really enjoyed the flavorful Thai salmon and shrimp. We didn't realize it was BYOB but we were able to buy a nice red wine from the restaurant sourced from a nearby NJ vineyard. The service was impeccable and we loved the ambiance eating outside in the garden area behind the restaurant. Definitely recommend! read more

Great location, nice ambiance, byob, wonderful staff and the seafood risotto was delicious!!

Very nice dinner alfresco. I had the New England clam chowder which was AMAZING followed by the appetizer size scallop risotto which was plenty for me. It's a byob so make sure yr prepared. They also offer glass bottle Aqua Pana which is great! read more

Best food in Cape May! Great outdoor area! Byob - excellent restaurant would highly recommend!

I will def return but will order a diff starter than the bisque. Overall I would def recommend this restaurant and plan to return in the future! read more

We love Tisha's! As long as you can get a table and they do have limited hours. The steak, ricotta and flourless chocolate cakes are the standouts for our favorite dishes. It's a nice break from the typical shore restaurants and no screaming kids in sight so you can enjoy a quiet meal. They have an outside patio too which is lovely. Staff are always friendly and attentive. read more

Ambience and service rated 4 stars Food 2 stars. The bread was just a grocery store roll. ordered the short rib which the waitress said was a fall favorite and waited for all year. A very heavy, stodgy meal consisting of a large mass of noodles and meat, lacking in sauce and flavor. It was obviously untouched but was not followed up on by our server or management. Very disappointed in what is considered one of Cape Mays top restaurants. read more

I had high hopes heading into this restaurant but unfortunately the staff and food both let us down. Mistake after mistake with no management to step in and provide assistance to waitresses who have zero training. The food was very overpriced and sub par in quality. At this price point you're better off going elsewhere. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else. read more

Great as always! Tisha's is a definite favorite go to restaurant when in Cape May! Highly recommend!!! read more

Came here with a family group of 8 for celebratory dinner. It is BYOB and several of us did, so we had Chardonnay, champagne and sauv blanc at our disposal. We ate appetizers, and the burrata was notable. Then the mains, and 3 people had fillets, which they loved. A couple had new york strip which they liked also. My choice was Veal Chop, and it was tender, juicy and delicious. The service was terrific and attentive. We ate indoors and the atmosphere was warm and convivial. Be careful eatibg outside as some of the tables face the parking behind the mall. I can't wait to go back, and you should go too! read more

Great spot, swordfish was to die for, a little expensive but that's the reason this spot exists, lol. We had reservations and were quickly seated. It wasn't busy, and the food came out promptly. read more

The service was abysmal. I'm horrified at the way the Maître d' treated us. We were going to sit for dinner and my mother was going to walk to the car for just a moment to pick something up. As we went to sit, she told us she was not going to hold the table for us. That our whole party had to be fully present. When we walked back a few minutes later, and kindly asked for a table once more, she glared at us and said there were no more tables available. The tables were still all empty. Very disappointed. read more

Great spot for a relaxing dinner. Well appointed dining room, and great patio in back. Food was excellent and service was friendly and prompt. Bring a great bottle of wine and slow down! read more

Such a nice change up from the usual "shore dining". Classy, tablecloth, adult dining. BYOB. Service was excellent. We had the Scallop Risotto app. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The risotto was perfect. Al dente, creamy and fresh. The Aroncini was one of the best I've ever had. Light and crispy outside, cheesy and light on the inside. I did. find the tomato sauce that came with it a little sweet for my taste. Main course was Steak Au Poivre. (Sp?). Done perfectly. Came w Mashed, asparagus and shallot frizzles. We also had the Chicken Milanese. This was not good. Over fried to the point I could barely cut it w steak knife. And very dry. Pounded very think on one side, thick on the other which accounts for uneven cooking. Came w a slice of lemon, arugula and cheese. I would not order again. Lastly the dessert was Flourless Chocolate Cake. Very good. Wish they had left the Raspberry sauce off. All in all a great experience with a new Place. Will be back. read more

First time at Tisha's this year after reading wonderful reviews. Personally find Washington Mall area to be overwhelming, so we came for lunch this week with some friends and the portions were great, fresh ingredients and delicious food and the staff was lovely! read more

I'm not sure why there are reviews complaining the portions are small. For me the portions are right to their price point. The appetizers are pretty big and good for sharing. I suggest the scallop risotto and sausage polenta. Both very delicious. The Thai salmon was a big portion as was the Pork Milanese. The pork was pounded thin and fried perfectly tops with a fresh arugula salad. The Thai salmon was top with a sweet chili sauce but not overwhelming spicy. Tisha's is byob so bring a bottle read more

I really love this place. I love the fact that you can bring a bottle of wine and they don't charge you a cork fee. We were seated outside which it was nice and it felt very quaint. I decided to go with crab cake for my entrée and it was one of the best crab cakes I had ever had. The flavors were amazing and you could tell they use real crab meat. My husband had the steak and he really enjoyed his meal as well. I cant wait to come back to Cape May to eat here again. read more

The food was fantastic, and did not disappoint. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because it is really loud inside. Now with that being said, we knew that ahead of time from the reviews and made reservations for the outside. The waitstaff knew the menu well and made great recommendations. If you are looking for a romantic dinner, this would not be the place unless it's off season. But if you have a large family, or want a fun night and excellent food... this is your place! read more
