Louisa's Cafe - CAPE MAY

This is a long-term favorite I don't have in a few years to last night. What a treat! I loved the new decor (the tables! and the agricultural season menu. As always, the staff was polite and sweet and offers exceptional service. The small glasses for wine reminded me of my journeys through Europe, where the wine counts more than the ship. If you find yourself somewhere near Cape May, pamper yourself here.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The food and the service were excellent. Louisa’s Cafe is a hidden gem. We’ve been meaning to try Louisa’s Cafe for years. We called midweek for a Saturday reservation and got seated right away. The entrees were delicious and the desserts were superior (save room . Louisa’s Cafe is a BYOB and there’s a liquor store nearby with a pretty good selection. We’ll be back.

Excellent food, as I remember, and highly recommended by my guest house hosts, who knew it well. But that was 20 years ago and more, and I can no longer remember details of the meal, except that it was excellent. What I do remember, however, is that we needed to make a reservation when reservations were first taken on Tuesday, in order to be sure of a spot by Friday or Saturday.

The restaurant is cute. I recommend the flounder as an Entree. I’m not a big fan of all the sauces that go on the flounder, but it depends on what you like. I like squeezing the lemon that comes with it onto the flounder. The Louise’s Chocolate Pie is my favorite dessert in Cape May. I recommend that you try the restaurant.

Super delicious locally sourced food. All menu items written on the black board. Friendly and helpful staff. Reservations recommended (it's a small space). Don't forget dessert they own the chocolate shop next door and the desserts are wonderful.
