Amazing gourmet food. Excellent service. Staff was extremely knowledgeable. The homemade bread was the best!

As a perennial top restaurant contender in Cape May I was very disappointed in our Blue Rose dining experience yesterday.
The food was top notch as expected, but there was a disconnect between the front and back of house.
Not sure if it was just our server,but the three tables seated near us all had a similar experience.
Some examples. ...
We ordered a poached pear salad for two and the server brought us a single salad.
They skipped the sorbet for us and blamed it on the kitchen firing entrees prematurely!
They asked us what desserts we wanted before our entrees even arrived.The explanation was that the special dessert souffle takes 20 minutes to prepare. I really don't want to have to order dessert after I finish my appetizers!
When it was the proper time for dessert, our coffee was brought out 10 minutes after the actual dessert was served.
Our anniversary dinner turned into a very strange affair.Not the same lovely experience we had in 2016 for our anniversary dinner.Hopefully ownership can work out the front of house kinks and return to the previous high standard.
I have to say, it was the best trip I've had to Cape May. The staff of both the Inn and the restaurant were so much more than just accommodating. Any question was met with an answer. Every person here had a smile and a nice thing to say. Everyone was so friendly and informative. The breakfast was beyond delicious. Coming in June meant we could eat outside and see the locals and visitors passing on the street. Such a relaxing way to begin the day. Staying for the weekend, we were able to enjoy the restaurant as well. It was the perfect amount of food. Everything we had was cooked to perfection. And the desserts! The lemon ricotta doughnuts are to die for! The homemade ice cream was the best combination of sweet and creamy. Compliments to the chef indeed!!!
We ate at the Blue Rose Inn twice this week: once for Sunday brunch and once for dinner. Both visits were fantastic! I defy you to find a better brunch anywhere else in Cape May: amazing 3-courses; delicious coffee and juices; and very friendly and accommodating servers. We felt like we were treated to a gourmet experience at an unbelievable price! Dinner the next night was just as delicious. Great job! Will be back soon...
Easter brunch was good. The first course dishes in particular were quite tasty (especially the rye gnocchi). The service was excellent -- our waiter Michael was on top of everything, which was impressive given our large party size. I'd go back.
Our first visit was spectacular, and we will certainly return. The atmosphere was both relaxing and elegant, and the staff was accommodating, friendly, and professional. Each of our party members enjoyed three courses, plus bread and a freshly-made lemon sorbet palate cleanser, and each was better than the last. A highlight was the mussels, made with Cape May Brewing Company beer, served already shucked. The teres major was a delight, and the desserts were excellent. We spent over two hours dining and relaxing, and we were never rushed. The chef accommodated our food allergies, and the server helped us celebrate a special birthday. In short, The Blue Rose is a gem.
This is fine dining at its best. Because all meals are prepared from scratch once ordered, plan at least 2 hours. Our food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented; a 5-star rating is definitely warranted. John our server was very knowledgeable about each dish and was a joy to speak with between courses. Patrick visited our table regularly; our water glasses were not empty long. He, too, was a pleasure. We look forward to returning so that we can, again, savor the taste of another of the chef's creations.
The atmosphere was lovely for a wonderful dinner. The food was deliciously fresh and innovative. Our server, Alex, was attentitive and very pleasant and knowledgeable about the dishes. It's a BYOB but we ordered a good local wine which was reasonably priced. ($24) Can't wait for a return visit.
I just had an incredible meal. The manager Justin is the absolute best and patient . I had changed The time on my reservation and mistakenly changed The date as well, for The following week. I had taken friends, their 1st experience, to dine tonight and Justine made sure we had a table. OMG that was so awesome because they were busy. ☺ The Chef Michael mixes taste and texture perfectly. We had the pear salad and the mussels to start, than the scallops, The Pork and the boneless ribs and a delicious Expresso and Pecan Tart with ice cream. 😁The service is awesome, Michael the server and Abby are sweet and made our experience even better. I would recommend The Blue Rose 100% , when visiting Cape May put this place on your to do list. Simply Incredible.
We didn't stay at the inn but we did eat at the restaurant. This is without a doubt one of the best meals I have ever had. The ambiance was just right. Our server, John, was attentive and informative but didn't pester. The food was Amazing. I had the Teres Major (beef shoulder) it was so juicy and flavorful! My husband had the scallops and says they were "melt in your mouth, definitely the best I've ever had". Do not miss this.
