410 Bank Street Restaurant, Cape May

BETTER THAN MARDI GRAS We visited on the very last night of the 2008 season, and were somewhat startled to find the host and all the staff dressed in costumes, clever to exotic, as well as many of the customers,who I guess know the ropes that the last night is dress up night having been here before. At first we were a bit put off--but never been to a restaurant of this calibre with such a friendly staff. And THE FOOD was incredible. Rich deep succulent spicy Lobster bisque and an elegant crab meat avocado terrine started us off, then the most delicious and largest meat dish I've ever eaten, a smoked, blackened and then grilled prime rib still on the bone, crispy smokey and spiced on the outside, tender within, while my wife had local caught Mahi Mahi with a vanilla laced somewhat sweet coconut lime sauce, with a miniature glass of an amazing little fruit drink and coconut battered shrimp delightfully arranged on the plate. And shockingly we somehow split a chocolate bourbon pecan pie helped by a glob of real whipped cream, and cups of dark French Roast coffee. We both agreed, best restaurant meal we ever had anywhere.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere!
