Cape May’s culinary scene just got a sophisticated refresh—without losing its soul. Harry’s Ocean Bar & Grille, a beachfront institution for decades, has emerged from a thoughtful redesign just in time for the 2025 shore season.
Still full of character, Harry’s now offers a refined yet familiar atmosphere. Under new ownership by Madison Resorts, the property was subtly reimagined this past winter with fresh finishes, a redesigned rooftop deck (the only one of its kind in Cape May), and the arrival of Chef Michael Giampa, whose updated menu balances tradition with elevated coastal fare.
Guests can still sip their favorite crush cocktails—now offered in 12 flavors—while overlooking the Atlantic from shaded rooftop tables. The newly refreshed space includes marble bar tops, upgraded kitchen features, and stylish new furnishings that elevate the dining experience without sacrificing its laid-back charm.
Local ingredients take center stage, from oysters and clams sourced right off the Jersey Shore to craft beer and regional wines from South Jersey. Whether you're starting your weekend with a kick of smoked paprika hummus or diving into the indulgent seafood chop salad topped with lobster and lump crab, Harry’s delivers casual dining with a distinctly upscale touch.
Located just steps from Cape May’s sands, Harry’s blends old-school hospitality with a fresh, coastal-modern vibe. It’s the perfect pit stop before a sunset stroll—or your new go-to after a beachside showing.
