La Dona Mexican - CAPE MAY

This restaurant was recommended highly to us so we went in with big expectations. It didn't live up to the recommendation. The price was expensive for what we got, but it seems comparable to what's in the area. The staff were very nice and attentive; so I have nothing against them. Unfortunately, the food was lackluster at best. I got the steak fajita, and the steak bits were small, dry and unseasoned. It made me grateful that the steak was less then a 1/3 of the hot pan unseasoned sautéed onions and peppers making up the rest). My sister had the chicken fajita which atleast was seasoned even if the serving was skimpy. Not a place I'll go to again.

Fantastic Mexican place! We had the freshest guacamole and a great mix to go with the tequila that we brought (BYOB). Delicious choices on the menu and pretty good service overall.

SO MUCH DRAMA! My family and I made an outdoor reservation for 9 of us this past week. When we arrived, they had our table ready but were not happy when we had a stroller. We told them it was 8 adults and a high chair. We also said we had a baby so we didn 't need anything for him. They said it was fine and we made our reservation. Once seated, my husband brought our sleeping baby in the stroller to where our table was. They said to me we don 't usually allow strollers because of the small space. I said what do you want me to do with my sleeping 7 month old baby. Needless to say they didn 't seem to care and when I got upset and said then we can 't eat here the hostess had the audacity to say so much drama . You know what...I will make so much drama and make sure everyone knows never to go to this restaurant. I cannot believe how rude they were. To make matters worse, a family friend went there last night and they were outside next to a family wtih a stroller. WTF?! DO NOT GIVE THEM A PENNY! GO ELSEWHERE!

Every year we have a good meal here. The salmon special was as good as you can get any any great restaurant. Nice staff too.

I would give this review zero stars if I could. Let me start my saying that I have eaten at this restaurant two times (each time that I 've been to Cape May with my husband). We have always had a pleasant experience. My husband, my toddler daughter, and I are vacationing in Cape May this week and wanted to enjoy this restaurant with our daughter as is our tradition. When we arrived, we were told that there was no table available. I then asked, no table? Even if we wanted to wait? I was then told 45 minutes. I immediately felt like this was strange because a restaurant would never simply say no, no matter how long the wait is...they would just tell you how long the wait is. My husband and I walked away for a moment but felt unsettled. We had a hunch that it had something to do with the fact that we were with our daughter. We decided to walk back towards the restaurant and saw a couple walk up and were told that it would be a couple of minutes to be seated. When we confronted the hostess about it, she claimed it was because there was no room to place the high chair. When I pointed out an empty table, she claimed that there was no room for the high chair, even though another employee overheard and said, it looks like there is room. At that point, we definitely did not want to eat at this restaurant. The hostess continued to say that there is no room for the high chair. If there is room for a chair, there is room for a high chair. Needless to say, this restaurant is not child friendly. There are plenty of other restaurants in Cape May for you to enjoy. Take your money elsewhere.
