Located on Sunset Beach in Cape May, this is the only eatery in the area, and it’s often crowded—expect a wait for a table. It’s a great spot to grab a bite and quench your thirst, but be prepared for typical beachside pricing, especially on drinks. Overall, the food is of good quality, though I wouldn’t recommend the grilled swordfish—it’s poorly prepared and not worth the cost. On the bright side, the drink and food menu offers something for everyone.

Stopped by just before the dinner rush. Absolutely beautiful chill spot with incredible food. I had the cold lobster roll and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I didn’t stay for the sunset but it provides an amazing view of the beach. They don’t take reservations and it fills up fast, the line was out the door when I left, but honestly, its totally worth the wait. The staff was great too.

A hidden gem at Sunset Beach, Cape May
At first, I thought this place was crowded simply because it’s the only restaurant on Sunset Beach. But when I arrived around 5 PM, it was surprisingly not too busy. I wasn’t planning to eat here originally, just grabbing something quick before watching the sunset—but it turned out to be a fantastic decision.

Sunset Beach itself is a must-visit in Cape May. It has a beautiful shoreline, a peaceful atmosphere, and even a sunken WWII ship visible from the beach—truly a unique and scenic spot.

The restaurant’s ambience is excellent, with thoughtfully designed decor and great ocean views. There’s a relaxed coastal vibe, and they’ve done a great job making the space both casual and inviting.

We ordered two summer-special cocktails: the Cape May Diamond and the Blackbird. Both were delicious and beautifully presented—perfect for a beachside evening.

For food, we had:
• Chili Garlic Shrimp
• Goat House Salad
• Cauliflower
• Day Boat Scallops

Surprisingly, every single dish was delicious. I honestly didn’t expect much—just something decent to eat while enjoying the sunset—but the flavors, freshness, and presentation really impressed me. This restaurant isn’t just surviving because it’s the only one around—it truly delivers.

The service was friendly and attentive, and overall the experience was excellent. Prices were reasonable for a seasonal beach destination, especially considering the quality.

If you’re in Cape May, don’t miss this place. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, eat well, and enjoy one of the best sunset views in New Jersey.

We had a fantastic experience at The Fish House in Cape May! The food was delicious, everyone at our table loved what they ordered. The location can’t be beat, right on the beach, which made it a perfect spot to grab dinner before watching the flag ceremony.

I had the fried Chicken Avocado Sandwich, and it was awesome, huge, fresh, and packed with flavor. My wife got the fish fry (basically fish and chips), and she raved about it. The fries were crisp and really good.

The kids ordered chicken tenders and fries, and they were thrilled to find out their meals came with ice cream, they cleaned their plates and their bowls!

Great food, friendly service, unbeatable location. We’ll definitely be back.

this spot is a gem! you’re right next to the beach/ dunes/ bay, and every table is outdoor seating (but with a roof). local fried sea bass is outstanding, as is the blueberry lemon cheesecake. appreciated the Cape May IPA on draft; my only suggestion is to have a couple more craft brews on tap. Alicia is the sweetest server who accommodated my elderly mother very professionally. keep up the good work!

Plenty of parking across the street. It’s sorta on its own. A bit of a hike to get to if you’re coming from downtown Cape May but it’s pretty both the restaurant and the views.

This day the limited bathrooms included an out of order men’s bathroom. Had to walk to the store across the street to use the bathroom.

Service was pretty good. Drinks were great. It took a little long to get our lunch but the salad and the sandwiches were excellent. Some of the best fish sandwiches I’ve had.

Only knock this day was they messed up the order of the family at the next table – 3 other tables received their orders before them (and they ordered first). Understandably not happy.

Overall a great first try at this place. Will definitely go again.

While we did wait while for a table because of how busy it was, it was COMPLETELY worth it!!!! The atmosphere is unreal, the vibe is so chic beach, and you can’t beat the views. I ended up getting a drink that I normally wouldn’t get but was so yummy. I was excited for the Chicken Avocado Sandwich because it sounded so good, but WOW! It hit the spot and I wished I lived closer so I can get it again and again! So happy with my experience and hope to come again!

Great food, great drinks, great service, amazing location right on the beach. Its an open air restaurant so if flying bugs are a big issue for you that may be something to consider. I would highly recommend to others. Fresh local caught fish on the menu! My wife and I enjoyed it very much. (photos missing pic of main course, oops)

We tried Fish House for the first time last night. Cape May is our happy place and this is a great addition. It was VERY busy but the hostess, Julia, was amazing – greeting every customer with a smile and doing her best to accommodate everyone’s wishes. We got a great seat with an ocean view and Brendan was friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the scallops and my husband enjoyed the sea bass. We will definitely be back again.
