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.

    We sat at a table near bar area. We had a couple of great drinks and enjoyed the ambiance. The striking white wood burning fireplace and the gigantic 500 year old urn were both pleasing to the eye. The food was outstanding and the servers were top notch. As we were leaving we chatted with the owner who was born in Naples. We talked about our love of Italy and its amazing culture. First time visiting but we'll be back.

    One of our favorite places. Food is amazing. Prices are reasonable for the shore. Our waitress Grace was friendly and professional. We also noticed the noise reduction decor, which should be utilized by far more restaurants. It was a great evening.
