Beautiful waterfront view with great service. Food was absolutely delicious. Audrey, my waitress, and the kitchen were accommodating to my dietary needs. All of the staff were very nice and seemed very happy. They were friendly towards all of t...
he customers and treated everyone equally. The food was served in a timely manner even though the restaurant was quite busy with the ferry crowd.
To those complaining about flies- you're by the water. Deal with it. The restaurant was very clean. And to those complaining about the staff, you were probably the problem. This was my third time here, and everyone has been nothing but nice, and the food has been consistent. Be kind to your food service workers. They're human, too

We stopped to grab a bite while waiting for the ferry to Cape May.
The service was fantastic, very quick and attentive. I ordered the sticky pineapple chicken tenders; they were crispy and full of flavor. I upgraded to tater tots and they were...
crunchy! My husband ordered the Philly and said it was good and flavorful, the cheese was gooey.
The view is nice and their ambiance was very warm and welcoming.

I enjoyed my meal at Grain on the Rocks. I had the lobster roll, and my husband had the grain burger. Both of us were very happy with our food and our beers. Our server was friendly and attentive, which is always a plus. I loved the outdoor sea...
ting to enjoy the breezes off the water and watching the ferry and other boats go past.
The ferry terminal as well as the restaurants are wheelchair accessible. I personally think someone would be more comfortable with the outdoor seating. My only reason for not giving five stars is my slight disappointment in the lack of options on the menu. Still, it was overall a good experience for us!

Service was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. My crab cake sandwich needed more seasoning, in my opinion, and the added $ for the roasted asparagus was well worth it! My sister had fish and chips and liked it. The restauran...
