The Merion Inn
Kyle's review The Merion Inn was built in 1885 by Main Line residents who were looking for a quiet restaurant similar to those found on the Main Line. When you enter the restaurant you step back in time. There is a piano bar with a grand piano. We ate in "the Porch" This room is decorated with stained glass, old paintings and Victorian wallpaper and carpeting. The room has a warm feel. the non smoking section which was smoke free thanks to glass between us and the smoking section. There are a number of dining rooms in the restaurant. he front porch is cozy but you will have everyone passing by on their way in. The Merion Inn website has some excellent 'virtual tours' of their dining rooms. I ordered the "no frills" broiled shrimp and scallops. It was a healthy, delicious serving with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and applesauce. For dessert I ordered the Profiteroles. These are delicious cream puffs with a sweet filling. The service was prompt and attentive. They are kid friendly. Parking, as with almost any place in Cape May, is tight. Your best bet if you are nearby is to walk. The air conditioning provided for a pleasant dining experience. Kiki's Review The Merion Inn opened in 1885. There are several dining rooms. The main entrance leads to a walnut bar with a black baby grand on the side. Oil paintings from the 19th century decorate the walls. Orchids and baby breaths grace the white linen table cloths – pink-petaled frosted candles light the tables. Fresh muffins and rolls are served with butter and apple butter. Jazz standards play from the baby grand. Water is served in pink stemmed wine glasses. To start I had a green salad served with chunk Blue cheese dressing. Next, I had spinach ravioli in a sun-dried tomato sauce served with squash medley and coleslaw. For dessert I had crème brulee which was very creamy and rich in texture. Dining at the Merion Inn is like stepping back in time.
