Fins Bar & Grille

I was walking around the mall area, got hungry, and decided to stop here for lunch. First time at Cape May and apparently there are better restaurants around here. The food at Fins was alright, nothing special. Came during "off season" (winter) so we had no issues with getting a table. They played Christmas music. Ordered old bay chicken wings, a crab cake sandwich, and a spiked hot cider. You would think the chicken wings would come with celery and carrots. The crab cake sandwich was okay - neither particularly great nor awful (8/10). This is a beach town so I was expecting something exciting. It came with a small bag of chips .... I thought we would get fries like a 'fish and chips'. You can't really mess up spiked hot cider so there was that.

I heard weekend will be long waiting time to get in . Luckily we entered no wait time at all because of Thursday branch. Foods could be better if I’m close to water but it’s not too special. We had great time while we having brunch. Service was good.

We’ve ate here a few times during the summer. Recently, we were a bit taken back by the prices. The food is mediocre overall, the atmosphere is nice with the option to sit inside, at the bar, or outside. I’ve never had an issue with services as they are attentive and friendly. We stopped for a quick bit and ordered the French onion, claims, and shrimp cocktail. The French onion and claims were good and priced fairly. The menu for shrimp cocktail (jumbo shrimp) did not list the number of shrimp. Turned out only being 5 shrimp for $22 which seems a bit steep for shrimp just placed in ice and a plate. Total bill was $100 with one $13 drink and tip. We were hesitant to order more at that point and left still hungry.

*I want to give credit to where it was do. Staff members did a great job. Best thing about this place is the service. Our waiter from the other night did a wonderful job.* Entrees were not good. Sadly over priced. Appetizers are good and so are the drinks. Again they are a little expensive though. Not somewhere I'm coming back unless their is new ownership or a new chef in that kitchen.

The sandwiches and fish and chips looked amazing. We enjoyed the French onion soup and cold combo.
