Where We’re Eating
Here’s what the EZ team were chowing on this week
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent
dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on
what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked
about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served
us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.
The place: Fins Bar & Grille on the corner of Carpenters Lane and
Decatur Street. It’s the large blue building next to the Ugly Mug — you
can’t miss it!
The vibe: Fins is always so bright and welcoming from the moment
Opening for the season on March 17!
you step in the door. There are tons of windows allowing for natural
light and the beautifully lit bar is just to the left when you walk in. Check
out the huge fish tank right in the center of the room. There’s tons of
aquatic life circling the coral structures — fun for all to watch while
waiting for a table or enjoying a drink. We just picked up some takeout
so we couldn’t grab a seat, but we plan to make time for that come
summertime!
The food: We were definitely hungry seeing as we had our orders
ready to go by 10:30am. Nicole even asked Kayla if she had ordered
yet before realizing the time... that got a good laugh. Once they finally
opened, Kayla went for a buffalo chicken wrap and Katie did the same!
It’s the season of Lent and a Friday so Nicole went for the traditional
margherita pizza since she can’t eat meat. Well worth it, however —
everything was delicious. Fins is a favorite of Kayla so we usually hit it
a few times a year for the column... and on our own another handful of
times. The food is always fresh and the cocktails are fun. And with the
atmosphere they have going, who wouldn’t want to dine there?
The Sunday Socials: Every week during the off-season, Fins hosts
their Sunday Social with 50% of every check going to a Cape May organization
— Cape May Stage, East Lynne Theater, Cape May MAC and
many others. These run from 10:30am to 2:30pm and they offer quite a
bit. Great live entertainment, enticing brunch AND lunch menus PLUS
a make-your-own bloody mary bar and mimosas. Check out their website
for which organization is up next and support a good cause while
having a good time.
The takeaway: Fins is open daily with a great happy hour from
BEACH & PERRY, CAPE MAY
2-6pm (3pm on Sundays). Visit their website for their menus and more!
