Our family dined there on a Monday night. The restaurant filled up quickly at about 6:30. The location is next to a commercial fishing dock and the view is more rustic than beautiful. Service was prompt and friendly. Main dishes were about $30 including starter salad and even children's dishes were about $22. Sharing is not permitted. Salad was good... more

A short drive out of town on the back road to Wildwood, this very nice restaurant sits among the fishing docks. Its not exactly on the water, but you can see the commercial fishing boats tied up all around. We were welcomed very graciously by a hostess--a mature person at least, and waited at the bar. And what a gorgeous... more

Axelsson's Blue Claw Restaurant is terrific. We had dinner there on 8/31/2007. The food and service were terrific! The restaurant, was busy but quiet. Service was very friendly and accomodating. The seafood was wonderful. Axelsson's is not open every day in the fall so be sure to check their schedule but we had a great dinner. more

Average (but very expensive) seafood place on the highway between Cape May and Wildwood. We were staying in Cape May and this was not worth the drive, particularly since there are so many great places to eat in Cape May itself. more

In a nutshell I'm still wishing for them 2 years passing! They seated us in a tented area attached to the main building, and that did set off alarms... until... more

The Blue Claw has decent food and a nice atmosphere, but it needs some work to really bill itself as a "fine dining restaurant." A key example is the "uni-glass" system. I ordered an expensive bottle of wine, and the waitress proceeded to pour it into what looked like water goblets on the table. When I pointed out that these... more

I can always count on the Blue Claw for decent meal and decent service. No, it's not outstanding, but it does stand out in Cape May because none of the restaurants is outstanding. The food is not gourmet, but it's good basic food. I enjoy the grilled seafood kabob with drawn butter. My husband likes the surf and turf. They... more
