On the latest trip to Cape May (see Foodie’s Guide to Cape May) we had lunch at the recommended Mad Batter. The restaurant is located in one of the charming, quaint and cozy victorian houses on Jackson street which is also home to the Carroll Villa Hotel. We went after the brunch rush with the restaurant half empty. Yet our server seemed rushed and rude. Her attitude however, did not ruin our meal which started off with the one of the tastiest bloody marys I’ve had to date, it was followed by several rounds of lime margaritas. Our meal consisted of the lobster egg benedict, hamburger served with a slice of camembert cheese and fries, blackened fish sandwich, and crab meat omelet. The lobster benedict was really delicious with generous pieces of fresh lobster topped with hollandaise sauce on two pieces of english muffin. The only complaint at the table was the blackened fish which was too dry and flavorless. Ending the meal with bellies full, we all left feeling quite satisfied. Overall, a great brunch spot if you can get past the service.
