    A lot of “reviews” of dining at Disney is “it was good” but this was brutally honest. Savage- but I am here for it. Pete is the Simon Cowell of Disney. That’s why we love him 👍

    Unfortunately the price of crab has gone up tremendously. We do a crab boil every Labor Day. We purchase a box of king crab from Costco every year. I think we started at $150ish. It was $200 in 2019, maybe $250 in May of this year, it is now $319

This review reminds me of The Garden Grove restaurant at the Swan. It was a buffet that was meh and then 1/2 way through they brought out this seafood plate. I was like I didn’t order lobster and the server was like it’s included. The lobster was rubbery the only thing edible was the shrimp. I thought what a waste! Just like your experience there.

    Went just last night but had not seen this review. Best thing was the beef and mashed potatoes. Clams and mussels were ok. Everything else was terrible. The fish was so fishy it was gross. For the price, I’d say just terrible. It was never like this, but it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve been to Cape May. Skip this restaurant for dinner. Breakfast we did a few months ago and that was good.

    I've been screaming from the mountaintop both here and on DFB to avoid the "family-style dining" restaurants, *especially* the ones that were formally buffets. All this new style of dining is good for is to limit the amount and types of food that you will get, while not lowering the prices accordingly.
    And this place seems to be proof of that. Give the masses tons of bread, corn and frozen fish, and bank all of the extra money that they lost during the pandemic. People need to stop being such suckers to fall for this. Don't go back to these places until they are buffets again!

    Those chicken drumsticks on the Turf platter are some of the most disgusting, unappetizing things I have ever seen!
