Gather at the Blue Pig Tavern, our distinctive restaurant tucked in the corner of Congress Hall. Known for hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner favorites, its name derives from a gambling parlor sited in Congress Hall in the mid-1800s. Earlier still, in the 1700s, Elias Hughes operated a tavern for whalers on this site. It was the first tavern in Cape May. Today, we offer timeless classics and new seasonal delights with ingredients that are always farm-fresh.

Price: Expensive
• Mediterranean • Cape May
Booked 4 times today
Long before the farm-to-table trend invaded America, Louisa’s espoused this philosophy, and served food to match. The tiny-but-iconic eatery was established in 1980 and has been dishing out incredibly fresh and delicious food in the small historic yellow building ever since. The menu is all regional fare — fish caught from the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, plus vegetables, fruits, herbs (and beautiful fresh flowers) from West Cape May’s Beach Plum Farm, augmented by produce from other New Jersey farms.The kitchen philosophy is to cook simple, expertly seasoned dishes that are lovingly prepared and made from fresh, first-rate ingredients. The menu changes often but the one constant you’ll find here is the dedication to a great dining experience.

Reservations recommended. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability. We will do our best to accommodate requests for seating preferences and/or outside dining, but they cannot be guaranteed based on limited outdoor seating. Outdoor dining may have additional wait times.

    Another perfect meal at Washington Inn. Celebrated a birthday with my parents here from out of state. Mushroom soup was very flavorful and both the sea bass and short rib were excellent. Presented beautifully too. The short rib was the best I have had anywhere. Jenny our server was very attentive and really knew the menu and also made us aware of the sommelier on staff. We were not doing wines tonight but good to know as we will continue to go here. Decorated beautifully for the holidays too!

    We had not been to Louisa’s in many years in spite of having a home here. We were very happy to rediscover it! The scallops and flounder were both delicious. Service was also great. It’s a small, intimate little BYOB. It’s happily back on our regular list !
