    Hamachi Crudo was fantastic! Then the Cape May scallops and the Iberico Pork were outstanding! We finished with the Valrhona Chocolate Pie and the Strawberry-rhubarb tartlet. OMG! Every dish was perfect and spectacular! The service matched perfectly - we had awesome servers and staff that took great care of us even bringing me a blanket as it was colder that expected outdoors. We also had 2 mocktails - both were wonderful! I can't wait to return and am doing so Monday.... Can't wait to see the restaurant week menu and dine there again!

    Our first dinner in Cape May could not have been better. We chose Tisha’s Fine Dining and it turned out to be the perfect way to start our vacation. We began with the Lobster Bisque, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. For our entrées, we ordered the Pork Milanese and the Chicken Pasquale. Both dishes were delicious, beautifully prepared, and cooked perfectly. Every bite reminded us why dining out is one of the best parts of traveling. What made the evening even more special was the atmosphere along Washington Street Mall. Watching people stroll by on a beautiful evening while enjoying a great meal created the perfect Cape May experience. The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and never rushed. Great food, wonderful service, and a charming location. A perfect first-night dinner in Cape May. We left happy, relaxed, and excited for the rest of our trip.

    The new menu for summer 2026 is outstanding. From the cocktails to the main menu- top notch. We weren’t aware of the Early Bird Dinner menu and was pleasantly surprised. Beach Water is my new favorite cocktail! Miles was our server- very attentive and provided excellent service!
