"Went for dinner around 6 PM Friday night And was seated right away. Our server came over promptly and asked for our drink order. They have a nice selection of beers and other drinks but my husband and I just opted for soda. We ordered 2 appetizers, the Thai chili wings and the potato skins with bacon and cheese. The wings were crisp and meaty and the potatoe skins were nice sized and flavorful. For dinner my husband had the prime rib beef Sandwich with fries and I had the 12" tavern pie. My husband said the sandwich had a generous amount of tender beef and both the horseradish sauce and au jus were flavorful. As for the tavern pie, it was MEH. Not at all like the tavern pies in North Jersey which are thin and crisp. This pie was doughy and chewy and honestly had no flavor at all. Had to ask for red pepper flakes, garlic powder and parmesan cheese just to give it a bit of flavor! Skip the pizza and try something else! Also, FYI.... if ordering apps and a meal, space out your order. Tables are very small and we still had half of both appetizers on the table when our meal came out....I actually had to hold our wing platter in my hand for over 10 minutes so we could finish eating them...there was not enough room on the table for everything! They have a nice sized bar in the middle as well and the tables are on either side."

"This place is so good. They have the best wings that I've ever had and also their French onion soup is amazing. We got the garlic Parm wings and it is so good."

"Busy spot on the corner of the building. Came on slider night but I was not a fan of the burgers. The wings were really good. Hot Honey Garlic was my choice. The steak sandwich was ordered and another family member liked it. Plenty of beer on tap and place gets crowded quick. Negative feedback, the stairs are steep coming down. If you are not careful you will eat the cement. I've heard multiple people falling and I've witnessed it happen in front of me."

"Just left the C-View on this lovely day in the off season. We were fortunate enough to grab a seat at the bar. We had the pleasure of having Brianna as our bartender/server. She does an excellent job, knows her customers, and is very friendly. We enjoyed our wings(best in cape may in my opinion) and sandwiches along with our ice cold beers. Love the C-View all year long but especially in the winter!"
