We've been to Cape May many times and enjoyed the fare at many restaurants but for some reason we'd missed out on the Island Grille until this visit. We were happy to find it open on a Monday night prior to Memorial Day, when many other Cape May restaurants are closed. We were very pleasantly surprised with our meals. Although... More

Lovely place with good food and friendly staff. Not to large, so don't tell anyone about it, keep it a secret between us.

Couldn't wait to go back to the Island Grill. Had such a wonderful dinner the last time we were in Cape May in October. Unfortunately we were a week too early, and they were not open yet. We called the number listed just to make sure and left a message. The owner called us back to say they would not... More

I love food with an island flavor, and Island Grill has that. fresh,interesting items with lots of flavor and it won`t kill your budget. Informal, relaxed atmosphere make it a great place to stop for a cocktail.

Excellent food - good portions. The restaurant is on the quiet side so if you like to make some noise . . . not a good choice.

Island Grill is just perfect. We shared the ceviche taco app, the goat cheese and berry salad, the coconut shrimp app, and the calamari app. Calamari is rarely remarkable, but it was exceptional, and the cherry balsamic sauce was perfect. For dinner we had the baked grouper special with an amazing lemon nage (the yummiest lemon sauce I've ever tasted,)... More

The vibe in the restaurant is very friendly and fun. Comfortable, BYOB, and nicely decorated. The food is delicous! I had an island shrimp appetizer and my husband had the crab and beet salad. They were awesome! We shared an angel hair pasta with seafood (shrimp and scallops) in a creamy - yet light cheese sauce. Very enjoyable - not... More

As I recall my fish dish has fresh fruit baked with it and it was so ummy. Not large, in a small bungalow, with pleasant decor.

We visited this restaurant in August 2012 while we were in Cape May for vacation. The entire experience was fantastic! The food is absolutely incredible! The atmosphere is wonderful. I had the crab/corn salad as an appetizer and my husband had the Ahi Tuna...both out of this world. Our 10-year-old son shockingly said he was tired of chicken fingers and... More

We have been visiting Cape May for the last 6 years and we visit the Island Grill at least once each time. Carole is just a delightful person and excellent business person. Though we come just once a year, she remembers us and greats us warmly, like an old friend. Her focus is on the customer and the food and... More
