Pier House Restaurant is located in the La Mer Hotel. We generally have breakfast at the Pier House when staying at La Mer. The fact that we keep going back for breakfast speaks well of it. They deliver a good and varied breakfast for a fair price. The service is always efficient and friendly. Pier House is a good stop... More

We have been here Many Many times and the food is always amazing. You could make a meal out of the apps alone - but don't make sure to order dinner because it just keeps getting better!

We frequent the Pier House every time we visit Cape May and always have a great meal there. Good location, far from the crowds, and nice and quiet. Food was OK but we have had better meals there. Maybe because they had just opened for dinner only being it was kinda off season, I don't know. My husbands steak was... More

PROS: - Food was great, the lamb lollichop appetizer was to die for!

The calamari appetizer was amazing with the three dipping sauces and HUGE. The grilled octopus was equally delicious. The wine list was decent and the one that the server recommended... More
