Shamone<br />
Take pleasure in a 15-course tasting menu in <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong>’s only tapas-style restaurant<br />
HIGHLIGHTS<br />
WHERE IS IT? At City Centre Mall on<br />
Washington Street.<br />
WHY SHOULD I GO? The only <strong>Cape</strong><br />
<strong>May</strong> restaurant accessible by escalator,<br />
Shamone offers an elevated dining<br />
experience unlike any other. Designed<br />
for those evenings when you’re either<br />
feeling adventurous or simply have<br />
no idea what you’re in the mood<br />
for, Chef/Owner George Brannon<br />
develops a brand-new 15-course tapasstyle<br />
tasting menu every night.<br />
No more endless staring at the<br />
menu while trying to decide. Gone<br />
are the days of suffering order<br />
envy when the neighboring table’s<br />
meal arrives. The well-trained staff<br />
delivers the palate-pleasing small<br />
plates with perfect timing, each more<br />
delicious than the last. Allergies are<br />
accommodated — just let them know<br />
when you call to reserve! Bring your<br />
sense of adventure along with your<br />
appetite, oh, and your favorite drink —<br />
this intimate joint is BYOB.<br />
Despite being told by Joe<br />
Bastianich on the show Restaurant<br />
Startup that “Shamone might be the<br />
worst name I’ve ever heard for any<br />
restaurant, ever,” the Kara Restaurant<br />
Group team — also behind George’s<br />
Place, Younger Brother, Vintage,<br />
Scola, George’s Place Court House,<br />
and Michael Kara Catering — is proud<br />
to say that this <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong> gem has<br />
outlasted the television series.<br />
