Elaines Cape May: A Coastal Escape for Breakfast, Brunch, and Cocktails

The manager Bob was amazing and beyond accommodating to my needs for our reservation. He stopped what he was doing to help fix an issue.

Their outdoor bar is small, but they have plenty of outside table seating. This is a great place to enjoy live music and cocktails outside and close to everything. We have only eaten and drank here, never stayed here.

Drinks and dinner on the back deck is a great evening. Good food and good prices, including drinks. Excellent service from Jake, who must be one of the best servers in Cape May County. Handles the whole deck with grace and a fun attitude. And great music too!

We stayed in room 18 and overall it was absolutely wonderful and we cannot wait to go back. The only real issue we had was with the food; the burger we got was undercooked to the point the couple next to us made a comment about it but they immediately remade it so no major issue. Then the breakfast in the morning, we came down at 8 and nobody showed up until 830 and my French toast was burnt and a fly in the OJ but other than that the food was good. The rooms were immaculate and we loved the little porch area connected to the rooms. Both bartenders were also great as were the drinks. You get your own parking spot that corresponds to your room, which is nice too. The location is pretty much perfect as its in the heart of everything. Quick 5 minute walk to the beach, and to the outdoor mall. Despite the food issues, we definitely will be back as the atmosphere is top notch.

Beautiful Victorian wrap.aroumd porch deck with two.outdoor bars,.one large indoor wooden bar, plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Great menu. Good vegan options as well.

We stopped by for drinks + apps on a less than bus afternoon in October- the weather was gorgeous so we sat outside. Some of the tables had signs directing you to the bar to order. Some did not. There seemed to be some miscommunication with a staff member and our table as well as a few other tables near us- setting the mood off less than pleasant. We then proceeded to find another staff member and inquire to the procedure of ordering drinks to which *that* staff member was helpful and seemed contradictory to the first one. All of this to suggest to management better training of staff and or more clear / permanent signs indicating the ROEs for the patio. Drinks were good.

Stayed there at Elaine's 6 or 7 times over the years till 2020. I LOVED the old Victorian bedrooms we stayed at I. RM 3, 7, 9,8... Sitting out on the porch was Grand. The place is haunted. I seen one ,a small spirit wearing white,it was very quick and she ducked from site . My son and I smelled Phantom aroma of flowers outside our room. My adult son seen a spirit wearing a long dress looking right at us as he opened the door of room 8 . One summer afternoon I could feel there was an unseen presence so I said on a hunch, "Good afternoon doctor". I immediately received back,"Good afternoon." of a man's voice. My adult son heard it also. The antiques in the rooms,the photos, and beautiful beds& bureau were awe inspiring. The only thing bothered me was the loud noise from in the yard of people and music. Very decorated, I hope the old beds, lamps , and bureau's are still in most of the rooms.

This place is amazing!!!! Hands down! Best place to stay right near everything. The staff is amazing, you get $15.00 off each person for breakfast depending on how many nights you stay. Everyone was so nice there, welcoming and helpful! The room very clean! It is very near to the beach within walking distance it was just very hot to walk with beach chairs umbrellas etc, but it’s doable. We will definitely be back we loved Cape May and we will definitely stay at Elaine’s again.
