I was eager to try Tish's in Washington Square, Cape May, as my Mom had been wanting to go for a while. We visited for lunch on Memorial Day weekend, and I specifically chose lunch as I'm not a fan of risotto, which is prevalent on the dinner menu. The atmosphere was lovely, and the guests at the neighboring tables added to the charm. However, it was evident that the restaurant was understaffed, with our waiter juggling multiple tables both inside and outside. We waited for about an hour for our fried calamari and Cobb salad. One of the appetizer dishes was dirty, but the waiter promptly replaced it. While another guest mentioned that everything is freshly prepared, waiting an hour for lunch seemed excessive. The fried calamari was tasty, and the honey mustard drizzle added a unique touch, although the portion size was small. The Cobb salad with blackened chicken was missing the raspberry vinaigrette and lacked blue cheese crumbles. The Italian Burger, with roasted peppers, baby spinach, Fontana cheese, and balsamic drizzle, was flavorful, but the fries were underseasoned and the roll slightly soggy. Food rating 2.5/5 stars The ambiance was elegant, earning a 5/5 rating. The service was a bit slow, likely due to being short-staffed, but our waiter worked tirelessly, and we appreciated his efforts. The hostess was also accommodating when we were late for our reservation. It's challenging for me to rate the service definitively given the circumstances. Overall, I find myself on the fence about returning to Tish's. I'd like to give them another chance, as I believe they may have been understaffed or faced unexpected challenges during our visit. Additionally, I appreciated the BYOB policy. Our total bill came to $80 with tip, $5 for metered parking, and a $20 bottle of wine. So overall $105 for two lunch.

Swung by Trisha’s while visiting Cape May. Just needed some appetizers to hold us over. The scallops and risotto was terrific. Perfect size for an appetizer! Perfectly cooked scallops. Terrifically made risotto. Good service, but a little slow (perhaps understaffed?). They only sell wine by the bottle and not by the glass because they are BYOB. Been here once before and we recall it being terrific food and well presented.

We had dinner at Tisha's Fine Dining in the Washington Square mall (pedestrian street). It is a BYO, so we did. However, they do sell local wines by the bottle, and there are some good choices. We got a table outside on Wasington Street on a perfect night. Not much foot traffic in early May, so it was very nice. The service was attentive, and we ordered a rasberry-goat cheese salad, which we split. It was very good, the dressing and goat cheese were special. For dinner, my wife got a gluten-free clam, shrimp, and scallop risotto. She loved it and would get it again. I went with a filet, medium rare, which was cooked perfectly (See my photo). It had mashed potatoes and crispy onions on top. I really enjoyed it. For dessert, we split the flourless chocolate cake. Very rich, but we found a way to finish it accompanied by the last of our red wine. Overall, the food and service were excellent, and the atmosphere sitting outside made for a perfect night. We were pleased and will go back again.

Service and atmosphere WAS lovely, can’t deny that but the low stars are for the food itself. Honestly, the food was pretty underwhelming. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it was heavily breaded with a peppery batter and then covered in a spicy mayo type sauce. It was cooked well, but there was just too much flavor and batter happening. It almost felt like we were eating fried chicken. The flavor of the calamari was lost in all the other competing flavors. My partner had the fillet. He ordered it medium rare, it was unfortunately over cooked and the meat itself just didn’t taste how it should for the price. Underwhelming, not bad, just not amazing. I ordered the special, scallops sambuca. The sauce was very tasty and the scallops were cooked very well. But again for the price…it was starved over linguine and we were disappointed that it wasn’t fresh pasta. That would have made the dish a 10. Again, it was a beautiful restaurant and service was fantastic. We had a reservation for 5:30, outside, seated right away and the restaurant was nice and quiet at this time. But for the price, we think the food could have been better.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner here on our first night in Cape May. The portions were fresh, generous and very flavorful. Service was very warm and attentive. And the atmosphere was very relaxing. Highly recommended!

We love this restaurant and eat there every year on our vacation to Cape May. The food doesn’t take long to cook, and service is awesome. Definitely recommend Tisha’s. We absolutely love this meal and look forward to going. It’s our favorite restaurant in Cape May.

Great food and in a prime location by the Washington Street Mall. Food took a while to come out, but it was worth it. 4 people and 4 empty plates. Crab cake tacos were the best thing I ate all week. They were great!

Exceptional! Our first time here. We had reservations. We lucked out and got the window seat. All decked out for the holidays. My porkchop was perfection. My husband's seafood dish w marinara also excellent. Lovely surprise after all these years and never once did we go after passing by... now we know!

The service was friendly, but the food was just mediocre. Some dishes were better than others, but nothing really stood out. I might come back if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip.

I'm so happy that we ate at Tisha's. I had really good memories of eating here at least 10 years prior, and I'm glad to report that nothing has changed. Food is still incredible. This is one of the most popular restaurants in Cape May for good reason! Apps are where it's at! We shared the scallop risotto, calamari and rice balls and everything was standout. Portions are generous for apps as well! Service was also great. Don't forget to bring a bottle and make a reservation. Without one, you likely won't get a table on a weekend. For a quality meal in Cape May this is a must.

Risotto was fabulous. I was after scallops on this trip and I sure got them... with risotto! Food, atmosphere & service were exceptional. Special props to server Barbara. She is pleasant, well versed, prompt and excellent. Playlist of exclusively cover songs done with a contemporary jazz vibe was a great touch to the mood. I will return and recommend to friends.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Cape May. Highly recommend a reservation. They're BYOB. We brought a bottle of champagne and they brought us the glasses and a ice bucket for it. They offer bread complimentary. The calamari and Lobster Bisque are a great way to start the meal. Only restaurant that rivals their bisque is Fredas. I always get the Seafood Risotto. I'll put a picture up.

This restaurant has become a staple for us. Not only is the atmosphere, service and food quality delightful but with all the competition of places to fine dine, it's nice to find one you grow to depend on. BYOB is option! We haven't had a bad meal ever. My wife longs for the Halibut dish perched atop of mashed potatoes and green beans smothered in some creamy gravy-of-a-sauce-goodness is simply different in a subtle brilliant way. I had a Chioppino style dish which was a special that night. I ate all of my dinner only to leave freckles of marinara broth as traces of my experience. No desert this night because we frequent a spot out back. Great meal at Tisha's but $$$ so fair warning.

Jenny K. L.

Yelp
Great food and service! Everything was made to order, which means that our part of 8 lunch was close to 3 hours, but the food was all made well - clean and not overly seasoned. Service was also great. A safe and great option for a restaurant on the mall.

Love Tisha's and loved my scallops and risotto. I adore sitting outside Tisha's on a summer night and enjoying my food, my conversations, and watching people pass that are enjoying their night also. The ambience is so romantic and cozy. I had a lovely time with my boyfriend and we look for to going back. Restaurant is BYOB.

We had a delicious dinner at Tisha's. We arrived for our reservation and front dining room was packed, so opted for the smaller, quieter back room! Tisha's is a BYOB, so don't forget to bring a bottle! We started with clam chowder, burrata over arugula, and beets/gorgonzola over mixed greens. All were very good and fresh! For dinner, my boyfriend just really wanted plain crab cakes, so ordered 2 of the appetizer portions. The 2 arrived on plates as individual servings. Would have been easy and looked better to just put 2 on the one plate. Mom and I split the Thai salmon with shrimp over potatoes and green beans. A very nice sized portion, I'm so glad that we shared! We didn't even look at dessert bc we had to meet family. Overall, a great meal with good service. Despite being packed inside and out, Gavin did a good job trying to stay on top of things! It was a nice evening!

TLDR: rather overpriced for what was delivered We came for dinner and getting a recommendation from our B&B host. We got same day reservations with an 830 seating. We arrived very early and still got seated right away, at 810. This good because service was very slow. We ordered the seafood risotto and crabcake with shrimp. It took over 45 minutes to be served and it really wasn't worth the wait or price. The seafood risotto had a wonderful briny taste and the mushroom was amazing. However, the rice was a bit undercooked and the clams and shrimp were overcooked. The crab cake came with mashed potatoes and the green beans that I subbed in for spinach. Veggies were good, but plain. The crabcake was good but my shrimp were overcooked as well. Service wasn't bad, but I finished my water about 1/2 way through the meal and the server never bothered to check in to see if I wanted more. We expected higher prices for the vacation location tax, but we also expected higher quality preparation and service.

Yelp
Excellent food. Severs were kind, thoughtful and served with a smile. I think the restaurant could use an extra hand or two or have less tables per server to reduce pressure on nights where they have more people. I had the watercress salad and the mushroom risotto. Both were good. Vibe is relaxed elegance. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We really enjoyed ourselves. Will go back. FYI- This is BYOB.

Steve R.

Yelp
I can only think of positive things to say about this place. Everything was perfect from the food to the service. Our server had great suggestions and was very pleasant. The place has an interesting decor and was very clean. I think I may have had the best pork chop I have ever had in my 47 years of being on this planet. I literally can't stop thinking about and may go back today and order the same thing.

Wait for table wasn't long whatsoever with reservation. Seems they turn over tables quickly Service by Lily was fantastic. Pleasant. Radiating. Good Luck with your first born Food was on point. Never thought I'd like pumpkin anything but the appetizer of gnocchi was delicious. Give me ossobuco anything and I'll take it down to the marrow. A must visit

Never have gotten a poor meal here. The service is on point in high season. The ambiance is very nice. Don't try to go without a reservation or make one well in advance!

4.5/5. We had a great meal here. The Thai salmon and seafood pasta dish were both very good. We also got the blueberry goat cheese salad as a starter and it was delish. A slice of key lime pie to go rounded out the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, one of our better meals in Cape May!

Tisha's remains my favorite place to grab lunch in Cape May. This was my first time sitting on the back patio surrounded by the greenery and flowers. Victoria provided stellar service. Food was fantastic as always. *Arancini - Mozzarella and Peas *Lobster Bisque *Crab Cake Tacos *Scallop Risotto

The ambiance at Tisha's is giving beachy fine dining. The service is great and the food is exceptional. The menu does change with the season. They also offered specials. This restaurant is a byob but they do sell some wine through the local winery.

Our whole expert was above our expectations. A classy restaurant with a small menu that does everything right. There is something for everyone on the menu and every dish is special. We had the Scallop Risotto and the pesto shrimp gnocchi! Both were delicious. Sandy was a great waitress in explaining the menu and specials. My congratulations to the ownership, chef and the staff for an excellent dinner experience!

Brought a friend here for the first time. Not to disappoint, she loved the food as much as I always do. Our server (Dan or Dean? Sorry) was very helpful. Answered all my questions and gave his suggestions. Mussels were part of the specials for an appetizer. Done in a curry sauce. Scallop Risotto and burrata salad rounded out our meal. Kept it light and finished with oh soo creamy vanilla bean ice cream! Will be back, Tisha's is one of my favorite spots

Alex F.

Yelp
One of the best dinners I have ever had-top 3. Everything on the menu looked good! The blueberry vanilla goat cheese was unbelievable! I wish there were more pieces of it in the appetizer. The mushroom risotto was one of my mom's favorite/ the scallops were cooked to perfection. I can't talk enough about the food. The pesto sauce on the shrimp and gnocchi was so creamy and flavorful, I couldn't put down my fork. My mom and I also agree- this is one of the best crabcakes we've ever had. It didn't have a lot of bread filling, it was mostly crab and wow! I highly highly recommend the food here. Bonus: We also had a very kind, skilled server:)

Rafael A.

Yelp
Tisha's is one of the best in the Washington Square area. It shows because if you want a table, you need to reserve ahead of time. There are a few tables outside available which don't require a reservation but there could be a long wait for them. The waitress who served us was very knowledgeable and knew the menu well. The food was excellent and I recommend to try the clam chowder for an appetizer. For the main courses, I had the pesto shrimp and gnocchi. It was a 4/5 meal, I think I would have liked a bit more sauce on my food. My child tried the Pescatore. It was a special that night but it was very good. In terms of alcohol, there is a limited selection with mostly wine. We had a local white wine and it was spectacular. Finally, as for the pricing, it is a bit expensive but the food is well worth it.

After we left Tisha's, I told my husband that my meal here was one of the best meals I've had at a restaurant in a long time. After thinking it over last night, I realized it was one of the best meals I've had dining out EVER. We were with our dog, and they were gracious enough to accommodate us on the back dining area where we felt comfortable with him. They even provided us a doggie water bowl for him! We ordered the arancini appetizer - risotto and mozzarella - and it was outstanding. I noticed about five other people ordering it, as well. The marinara sauce was so good I ordered extra bread to mop it up with. Second course, lobster bisque. Yowza! Creamy, gorgeous soup with giant chunks of lobster. I could eat this every day and not get enough. My entree was the short rib bolognese. The pasta was done to absolute perfection and the shredded short ribs and sauce were unbelievable. The portion size was huge, but I managed to finish it all! I'm not one to order dessert usually, but I ordered the flourless chocolate cake, and again, it was beyond my expectation. Dense but velvety and perfect with the scoop of vanilla ice cream it came with! What a beautiful way to top off an amazing dinner. To top it off, we had the most AMAZING service from Sandy. She is a pro, one of the most outstanding servers I have ever seen. I now know why Tisha's has such a great reputation here in Cape May. I certainly can't wait to get back!

Lisa G.

Yelp
Our group of four all had outstanding dishes! I really enjoyed the flavorful Thai salmon and shrimp. We didn't realize it was BYOB but we were able to buy a nice red wine from the restaurant sourced from a nearby NJ vineyard. The service was impeccable and we loved the ambiance eating outside in the garden area behind the restaurant. Definitely recommend!

Yelp
Perfect Cape May dining experience, right in the heart of the shopping district, with great food, wonderful ambience, everything you could want! We'll be going back here every time we visit! And it will be the highlight of our dinners in Cape May. And that's besides the fact that it's located right in the center of the shopping area which makes it even more fun! This is a must go to spot . The food is to dream for. I had the halibut with crab meat, and it literally put me in heaven. Delicious and a good portion too. The filet mignon is nothing short of wonderful! For an appetizer we got Cajun shrimp and rice. This is a must order! Couldn't think of a better way to start off the meal. This restaurant is adorable inside! It's so much fun to eat here and they have a great selection of all kinds of food. Something for everyone. Of course, it's just great to be walking in the downtown shopping area and just step into this restaurant without having to go blocks away, or even a mile away to find a good restaurant. as you can imagine getting a reservation is very difficult so you need to do it well in advance of your trip. Highly recommended for a fine dining restaurant, while visiting Cape May, especially if you're looking to eat right in the downtown shopping area!

Very nice dinner alfresco. I had the New England clam chowder which was AMAZING followed by the appetizer size scallop risotto which was plenty for me. It's a byob so make sure yr prepared. They also offer glass bottle Aqua Pana which is great!

Margaret L.

Yelp
Ambience and service rated 4 stars Food 2 stars. The bread was just a grocery store roll. ordered the short rib which the waitress said was a fall favorite and waited for all year. A very heavy, stodgy meal consisting of a large mass of noodles and meat, lacking in sauce and flavor. It was obviously untouched but was not followed up on by our server or management. Very disappointed in what is considered one of Cape Mays top restaurants.

Katie R.

Yelp
Tisha's is located right in the Washington Street Mall & it has a cute slightly upscale vibe. We had a reservation for 8, but when we arrived they notified us that they were behind & that they would text us. It didn't bother me too much, we had time to walk around and enjoy the mall. We were seated around 815, and greeted immediately with water & an ice bucket for our white wine. We each ordered an appetizer that were AWESOME. I had the Burrata Salad which was very balanced. The arugula was peppery, the burrata creamy & the beets earthy/sweet. My husband the scallop appetizer, which honestly was the star of our entire meal. The risotto was seasoned perfectly and was so tender, while the scallops were caramelized. It was so good! For dinned I ordered the seafood risotto, which was honestly disappointing in comparison to the scallop appetizer. I wished it had more garlic, but that is just my preference. It was good, not great. My husband ordered the peppered shrimp & crab cakes. He enjoyed it & joined the clean plate club. We did get Tiramisu for dessert (a favorite of mine) & I appreciated the espresso flavor. It was creamy and perfectly bitter. Ultimately, if I were to come back I would probably just ordered several appetizers because they were phenomenal.

Yelp
I had high hopes heading into this restaurant but unfortunately the staff and food both let us down. Mistake after mistake with no management to step in and provide assistance to waitresses who have zero training. The food was very overpriced and sub par in quality. At this price point you're better off going elsewhere. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

Great as always! Tisha's is a definite favorite go to restaurant when in Cape May! Highly recommend!!!

I've been a customer at Tisha's for over 10 years; unfortunately, the last 2 years were very disappointing. For instance, we arrived on time, but the hostess tried to seat us adjacent to the front door which was cold and cramped. There were two open tables available and when we rejected the table she reluctantly complied. Considering our reservations were made 4 months ago. you would think that a more suitable table should have been waiting for us. The calamari portion was small and over cooked, but the main course (Veal) was very good. The dessert menu was limited and the coffee at $6.00 a cup was old from the bottom of the pot. It's time for us to venture to another restaurant in Cape May.

Ipora N.

Yelp
The service was abysmal. I'm horrified at the way the Maître d' treated us. We were going to sit for dinner and my mother was going to walk to the car for just a moment to pick something up. As we went to sit, she told us she was not going to hold the table for us. That our whole party had to be fully present. When we walked back a few minutes later, and kindly asked for a table once more, she glared at us and said there were no more tables available. The tables were still all empty. Very disappointed.

We had reservations for Tisha's (thanks, OpenTable!) for an early birthday celebration. First, we loved the BYOB and we came prepared thanks to the reviews posted. We didn't know it was Restaurant Week but it was a pleasant surprise! All five of us decided to partake in the RW menu which was a set menu with 4 different appetizers, 4-5 entrees and 3 desserts. For apps, we got the shrimp polenta, burrata salad and calamari. The shrimp polenta was the best of the three but all of them were delicious and large for one person. The calamari was well cooked and had great flavor as did the burrata salad. We would definitely get all 3 of them again. For entrees, we got two strip steaks, two gnocchis with Gorgonzola sauce and the swordfish. Each portion was large and tasty. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The gnocchi dish came with spinach and roasted red peppers which was outstanding. The swordfish was great and got rave reviews. For dessert, we got 2 key lime pies and 3 blueberry pound cakes. The pound cake was just ok but the key lime pie was to die for. Would pass on the blueberry in the future but we would 100% get again and recommend the key lime pie. Our server and the ambience was awesome. We truly enjoyed our experience at Tisha's and would go back again!

Great spot for a relaxing dinner. Well appointed dining room, and great patio in back. Food was excellent and service was friendly and prompt. Bring a great bottle of wine and slow down!

A return to Tisha's. This time we were seated in the back dining room which was not near as nice as the back patio or the front dining room. I'm guessing everyone had reservations because I would hate to think that they gave their best tables to walkins over those of us that had reservations. It just seemed strange the table we received was next to the bathroom. Service was friendly but terribly slow. I will say it was crowded even at a 6pm reservation. We started with the calamari and the lobster bisque. Both were good, but the lobster bisque, which had several nice chunks of lobster, is not near as good as the clam chowder. The calamari was OK but the drizzle of honey they put on it and sauce makes it kind of soggy. Probably wouldn't order either appetizer again. For our main courses, we had the seafood risotto and the pesto shrimp with gnocchi. The seafood risotto was superb - a must try. I will have to say though that the shrimp with a little over cooked in it. The pesto shrimp was very good. I recommend both. In my opinion they have a very limited dessert menu with not a lot of great options. This time we tried the bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was pretty good.

First time at Tisha's this year after reading wonderful reviews. Personally find Washington Mall area to be overwhelming, so we came for lunch this week with some friends and the portions were great, fresh ingredients and delicious food and the staff was lovely!

Great food. Had polenta and curried chicken as well as a special dessert. Excellent service. Would strongly recommend reservations-even during the week and in the off season.

I read about Tisha's online and decided I had to try it due to the high rating of an excellent fine dining restaurant that is quaint, small, and that had a woman owner and chef. I was intrigued! The ambience is simple elegance, the food is first rate and very special. I had the scallops with risotto in white wine burblanc sauce- delicious is an understatement! The ravioli appetizer and chocolate cake are delicious. Definitely make reservations to make sure you can get a table for 1-4. Outstanding experience overall !

Delicious anniversary dinner! Great service. I had the lobster bisque for an appetizer, which was amazing. For an entree, I had the pesto shrimp and gnocchi-- very, very filling & tasty (love pesto--forgot to take a photo!) For dessert, we had bread pudding with caramel ice cream. The MOST delicious bread pudding and they wrote an anniversary message for us.

We love Tisha's! As long as you can get a table and they do have limited hours. The steak, ricotta and flourless chocolate cakes are the standouts for our favorite dishes. It's a nice break from the typical shore restaurants and no screaming kids in sight so you can enjoy a quiet meal. They have an outside patio too which is lovely. Staff are always friendly and attentive.

Great spot, swordfish was to die for, a little expensive but that's the reason this spot exists, lol. We had reservations and were quickly seated. It wasn't busy, and the food came out promptly.

We have eaten at the place every-time we visit Cape May NJ. On this last visit we sat outside on the mall or square side very pleased with the sitting on a gorgeous early Saturday evening. The place is perfect not overly big and one of the quintets place to eat in Cape May. We were greeted by out waitress professional (Kat) explained the appetizers specials and two additional dinner options and some other items she liked or explained on the menu. We started with two soups lobster bisque and clam chowder both were perfect. Lobster bisque had pieces of lobster and was not an over heavily broth. Clam chowder was the same way with very fresh clams and perfectly cooked red skin potatoes. Ordered a fried Calamari that was perfect and a dinner entree of Salmon with Shrimp in a Thai Chili sauce perfect. Funny thing is I tend to lend to a whiter style fish but it was the very best Salmon dish I have ever had. The place is one of the best in Cape May try for yourself.

We came to Tisha's for lunch a second time. It was not crowded and we were seated quickly. Our orders were taken quick and service was great. The food was a little slow coming out and the burgers were over cooked. I enjoyed the blacken chicken. The ambiance was nice and it was a quiet atmosphere. Definitely a repeat and we suggest Tisha's

Dined at Tisha's on a Friday evening in September. We had a 7:30 indoor reservation that we booked 2 months in advance to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant was clearly overbooked and not managing their tables. At 8pm (30 minutes past my reservation) I walked in to find out what was going on, and was rudely greeted by the hostess (I think named Jen) and told there was nothing she could do unless I wanted to sit outside with 50 degree weather and 30mph winds. To top it we saw other tables being seated before us who showed up well after we did.. not sure if it was locals getting preferential treatment or what but not a great experience or first impression of the restaurant. Once we were seated around 8:10, we were offered a free appetizer for the long wait (not sure if that is worth 40 minutes of my time). The food was good - veal Milanese was cooked perfectly and ragout was flavorful. Unfortunately due to this experience we probably won't be back or recommend it to any friends/family.

Simply outstanding! There is no other way to put it besides simply outstanding. Reservations only and highly recommended. Service is great! Dress code is casual. BYOB. Small menu but again... simply outstanding.

Everything about Tisha's first class it's a BYOB, which makes it very nice. That atmosphere is very nice, the noise level is acceptable and the service is always very good. If you don't see what you want on the menu most often they can adjust it to your liking.
