We just recently returned from a two-night trip to Cape May for my birthday. We stayed at La Mer Motor Inn which is located directly behind Pier House. One of the perks of staying at La Mer is that they give you 15% off of breakfast at the restaurant. I'm glad we used it because it was definitely worth it.... more

I've been going to Cape May for over 20 years and found this to be one of the best restaurants in town, the only con is that its not a BYOB and the wine is a little pricey, the steak and salmon were cooked perfect and the service was among the best we've experienced while visiting Cape May over the... more

We are out of town guests and were here on vacation. We've dined here several times in years gone by when this restaurant was known as the Water's Edge and have never been disappointed... until now. When we were seated the a/c was cranking and most of our party put on outside jackets to beat the cold. Choosing wines we... more

I must say that I consult Trip Advisor religiously for restaurant suggestions. We love Cape May for the food and were looking for some place new. We were pleasantly surprised by the Pier House. We dined outside which was lovely. Our waiter was most attentive and helpful. The four of us cleaned our plates (including the 11 and 8 year... more

We ate at this fabulous restaurant two nights during our recent stay in Cape May. The restaurant made us feel warm and invited at every turn. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated promptly as we had reservations. Our window booth was comfortable and provided a view of the ocean while we dined. The wait staff were all... more

This restaurant is one of the best in Cape May and defiantly needs more people talking about it. It is located on the out skirts of town and is beautifully located right on Beach Ave. This has been one of the best dining experiences i have ever had and will be coming back every time i stop by Cape May.... more

We ate here in late May. we came as soon as they opened for dinner. It is a fancier place and the prices reflect that. I had the salmon which was very good. My husband had 2 salads, both of which he enjoyed. The desserts looked great but we passed. Service was pleasant. more

Contemporary, sophisticated, and very pricey, the Pier House is not for a meat and potatoes dining experience. Ambiance, service and presentation were first rate. Leave your flip flops back at the hotel. This is one of the few places in Cape May that you can get dressed up, and not feel out of place. As for the food, well, I'm... more

This used to be one of our favorite places to eat in Cape May, but Pier House has recently disappointed us.I ordered the shrimp and pasta. The pasta was overcooked and not well-drained with a small pool of water left in the bottom of the dish. There was little olive flavor and the shrimp were bland. My husband enjoyed his... more
