The Restaurant

Where Coastal Meets Classic

Nestled within The Inn of Cape May, Ocean 7 offers an elegant yet approachable seaside dining experience — the venue's Victorian character behind a menu that's anything but old-fashioned. Vegan and gluten-free guests are always welcome, with indoor and al fresco seating year-round and dog-friendly patio dining.

Built for golden hour

A room that holds the light

Black-framed windows wrap the room and open straight onto the marina. Cane chairs, marble-topped tables and a long green banquette make it equally right for a slow brunch, a celebratory dinner, or a martini as the sun goes down.

The Bar

Raw Bar & Cocktails

Oysters on ice, Cape classics and porch crushes — poured against the best view in town.

The seared scallops are the best I've had anywhere, and the Victorian setting makes it perfect for a romantic dinner.

Only spot in Cape May with gluten-free crab cakes. Staff brought bread for our kids without being asked — thoughtful touches go a long way.

The tuna tartare was excellent and generous. My wife had the prime rib, I had the scallops — both outstanding. We'll be back.
