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.

Main food course came out wrong had to wait for it to be remade while my wife’s came out correct. She got to eat while I waited for it to be remade. Server was a bit off on timing and lack of attention. Still a good meal and nice experience but it was a bit off last night.

Lovely quiet spot off Washington St. excellent service. Varied, creative menu. Calamari app had light breading with a perfect light hot touch. The short rib parpadelle was heavy with a lot of shredded meat and a heavy tomato sauce. The bread pudding was delicious. Would highly recommend everything except the short rib dish.

Delicious food, service and atmosphere. Menu options for side dishes and salads were limited to chefs offerings for the evening and the overall price seemed a bit high. Very overall lovely dining experience and I recommend as one of the best dinners we’ve ever had in Cape May.
