    Eden was wonderful in every way. The food was creative and yummy. I tried antelope for the first time. My husband had their pork chop. Both were YUMMeee! The wine list is amazing. They even have a a good list of half-bottle wines. The service was gracious and attentive. They were perfect team. If another waiter thought you needed something, they took care of it…without in anyway being annoying. They were seamless! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We’ll definitely be back!

    We dine in Cape May often at the better places such as The Ebbitt Room, Tisha’s, Washington Inn, Peter Shields and of course Maison Bleue. It’s hard to say which is the best but Maison Bleue is probably our favorite if I was perfectly honest. The food is definitely the best. Finely crafted, well presented, hot and cold as necessary and extremely flavorful. Anna was great as our server. Professional, well informed, attentive and friendly. Dorothy, I believe to be one of the owners, visited our table and wished us Happy New Year and is so pleasant. Pricing is in line for such quality food and service. I can’t express enough things about how good the food is as I think about it more and more. Just soooooooooo delicious. Thank You MBB!

    This was just one of our many visits to Il Posto, and they have never disappointed. We were slightly surprised how busy they were on this night in December, but that's good for them. They stay open all year, and we try to support them for it. Our entrees were outstanding and the service is amazing. from our waitress to the server who brings bread and water. This is simply an outstanding restaurant. Don't miss it it -- in summer or winter.
