$20 to Park & the Park is Not Dog Friendly

The other reviewer hit all the important points. Dogs are not allowed on the shuttle buses. Our “hike” ended up just being the walk from the parking lot to the town area. It took so long and was so miserably hot that we didn’t want to hike a trail.
$20 to park. It’s a 3 day pass but who is interested to go for 3 days?
5 foot tall weeds are so overgrown by the river embankment that you cannot even view the river as you trudge toward the town.
Half of the exhibits were closed but it was no heartbreak because the ones that were open were lacking and unmanned.

The park is “trash free” so they provide NO TRASH RECEPTACLES anywhere in the park. Responsible per owners left their bags of poop along the path. Patrons of restaurants left their empty cups etc littered throughout the park. How frustrating to not have any trash cans.
I will say that the retailers were all very dog friendly, with many offering samples of treats they sold. Also, many eateries had outdoor seating which was dog friendly.

Seating Out Back

They allowed our dog to walk around the back of the building with my husband, while I was escorted to the table. The dog hospitality ended there. No water dish or anything. But that is fine.
Our salads with flank steak were good, although my steak was a little livery/ gamey. He liked his. However, because of our server’s initial attitude (didn’t feel like she wanted to be helping us) I completely forgot to tell them to put the dressing on the side and the greens were swimming in an overly sweet balsamic dressing, so I couldn’t eat them. The pecans were not candied. The strawberries were a half-step from rotten. $26 for a salad and I couldn’t eat the greens.
They do not do tastes of beers. My sour was yeast stressed and not good.
Key lime pie was nothing to write home about.

Open Tables but couldn’t get seated

We went to Cape May and were wanting to get something to eat before boarding the ferry back to Lewes. even though there were several open tables in the outdoor seating they said there was a 15 minute wait. The host had grabbed menus and was walking around to seat us when someone came over and stopped him from seating us. they said it was a 15 minute wait. We walked around but they never texted to tell us a table was ready.
In Cape May dogs are not allowed on the Washington Mall which is the main drag where you want to be, especially if you want to do any shopping.

Cape May Washington Mall Not Dog Friendly

Don’t be fooled. The Washington Mall, which is the main drag street where most of the shops and restaurants are located, does not allow dogs. Even as a certified ESA we were hassled.

Cape May NOT dog friendly but Ferry is Great!

The Ferry is great!
However, in Cape May, dogs are not allowed on the Washington Mall, which is the main drag of the place (where you most want to be).

Can’t Wait To Go Back

Everything was very good, from the service to to the food and beer. They even brought our pup his own water and gave him some lovin’.

Excellent

We go here whenever we are in the area. The food is always good and the ouzo pours generous. They were very accommodating for our furkid.
