Freda's Cafe

"I had a truly disappointing experience at this restaurant. The seafood bisque was a complete letdown - my bowl didn't have one piece of shrimp, lobster, or crab and it had no flavor either. To make matters worse, when the waitress brought my salad, she presented me with the choice of Thousand Island dressing or some ginger concoction. I went with Thousand Island, only to be greeted by a watery, flavorless disaster. It was evident that the salad was freshly made by the chef, which made its dismal taste even more baffling Her attitude sucked too. While she sensed the dissatisfaction I tried to hide, instead of addressing my concerns or attempting to make things right, she became defensive and seemed personally offended"

"What a wonderful find! November night, well into the 60's, and we wanted to sit outside. Found Freda's Cafe with a large heat lamp warming the 4 outdoor tables. We ordered the duck and the grouper (duck was amazing, grouper was ok, but the fish came with crabcakes that more than made-up for the mediocre fish). Flossy, our server was exceptional, which made the food and ambiance that much better. Save room for coffee & dessert (we chose the Bread Pudding)."

"Today I saw the Google reviews & decided to give this place a try. I didn't realize I would need a reservation on a Monday night, but I did. The waitress was so nice. She told me to come back in 1 1/2 hours & I would get a table, no need to reserve. Even though it was still busy, she kept her word. They did have a note on their door during the day asking customers to be patient because they can't get enough help. Though this was the case, the quality of the food didn't suffer. The lamb chops were superb! My waitress was great. Just be patient & understanding of their situation & you won't be disappointed. Michelin grade food, hands-down!"

"Great food and service. We ate here as a large party of 7. The portions are decent but the taste of all the dishes were delicious. It's a little pricy, with each dish costing between $30~$40, but it's BYOB which might make off for it."

"Freda's Cafe is great culinary experience. That is one of the best I have had in Cape May, county. The name cafe is a great way to hide a special dinning experience. The decor fits with the s cape may. Style and building it hides in. The price was well matched to the chefs skillfully designed menu, is the start of gourmet experience. The seafood bisque was fresh and savory. The appetizers were some thing to experience. If you have the time sneak in to Freda and don't blab about a hidden gourmet experience. Like me"
