Aleathea’s Restaurant and Porch Bar located in the Inn of Cape May at 7 Ocean Street on Beach Drive in Cape May, serves American and seafood al fresco on their oceanfront porch or in their air-conditioned Victorian dining room. Talent and experience, that’s what Aleathea’s wanted in a chef, and Tai Menz encompassed both.





Tai learned his talent of creating fabulous dishes by attending ACCC’s Academy of Culinary Arts. With all this experience under his belt, Tai now has taken over as Aleathea’s top chef and he’s making wonderful things happen. He’s revitalized the menu with new, contemporary dishes. In his words, he “like[s] trying new things.” One of the breakfast entrées is Stuffed French Toast with a filling made of Grand Marnier and mascarpone cheese, dusted lightly with powdered sugar. Or, how does this lunch entrée sound: an eight-ounce, sushi-grade loin of tuna, grilled and resting on a bed of field greens and grilled vegetables, topped with an Asian sauce that includes a bit of aji mirin, better known as rice wine. Dinner choices include asparagus and jumbo lump crab soup, beef carpaccio, clams, oysters, or deconstructed spicy tuna roll. Dinner entrées run the gamut from seafood to meat, chicken to pork. The grilled pork chop with spice rub, filet mignon, and prime rib are all steroid, hormone, and antibiotic free, while also being fed a 100 percent vegetarian diet. The crab cake is always a favorite using jumbo lump crabmeat. The seafood entrées are always fresh and include, crab imperial stuffed flounder, blackened red snapper, sesame coated tuna loins, BBQ salmon and Chilean sea bass wrapped in banana leaves. Vegetarian entrées and tableside cooking are also available.
