Elaine’s Cape May totally nailed it! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was cozy and welcoming, with a cool beachy feel that set the tone perfectly. Tracy, our waitress, was awesome. She was super friendly and made us feel right at home. She knew the menu inside out and gave us great recommendations. Her service was spot on—attentive but not overbearing. And let's talk about the food—absolutely delicious. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and you could tell they use fresh, top-notch ingredients. From starters to desserts, we were blown away. The overall atmosphere was laid-back and relaxed, but still classy. It’s the kind of place you can chill with friends or have a romantic dinner without feeling out of place. Overall, Elaine’s Cape May delivered big time. Great service, amazing food, and a vibe that’s just right. Tracy and the team really know how to make you feel special. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won’t be disappointed!

We were looking for a place to eat and went into Elaine's that had live music and a wonderful vibe. We took the outdoor seating and it was beautiful, except for the shower of cherry blossom petals every time there was a gust of wind, which was also beautiful in its own way. We tried limoncello, spinach dip, nachos and the veggie burger and they were all delicious. The singers for the live music had amazing voices. Jake was our waiter and he was friendly and great with service. Definitely worth visiting when in Cape May.

We had an enjoyable dinner for my wife's birthday over memorial day weekend. The food was delicious, well cooked, seasoned and plentiful. We had the red snapper and summer burger. Drinks were well crafted thanks to the bartender! Shout out to Jake who was on point as our server and balancing multiple tasks and a hectic evening at the same time. Check the website for the afternoon or evening live artist. We've been several times and each artist has been a great complement to the atmosphere at Elaine's! Limited parking is behind the restaurant.

First time staying at Elaine’s and we were very pleased! They put us in a larger room than what was booked. Everything was new and spotless! Credit towards breakfast was a nice perk and having a bar and music on Saturday was nice too!
