Sad to say, PSI isn’t the same since the new chef took over. This used to be our #1 restaurant in Cape May. Halibut was overcooked and gnocchi was chewy and overly sweet. Filet mignon was over-salty. Side of carrots were fine. Truffle Mac was dry and underwhelming. The service staff remains fantastic and it was good to see familiar faces. We’ll be skipping PSI until the kitchen gets its act together.

The food was nothing special. I ordered the pork tenderloin which was dry. The sides were average and the dinner rolls were stale. Very nice ambiance but overall meh. Will not go back

I like this a nice restaurant I liked it more. That was a BYOB because it was already so expensive as is there was a good meal. My chicken was OK but the rest of the food was good.

This is our 2nd time at Peter Shields and found the food to be bland and tasteless. For a restaurant that prides itself as high end there are better restaurants in Cape May for the price.

Another awesome experience. Food, fantastic; Dillon, our server, once again, “the best”! Going to miss the clean BYO experience, but hopefully the corking fee is reasonable, as we like our choice of wine. Thank you.
