Our daughters will be 5 and 8. We're trying to decide where to eat for X-mas eve dinner. Cape May would probably appeal to my husband, Chef Mickey my kids, I'm easy either way. We haven't eaten at either so I have nothing to base my opinion on.
You can't go wrong with either restaurant, IMO. Both have plenty of characters, except at Cape May you won't see Mickey. Of the two, my DH preferred Cape May (we were w/o kids) but only because he thought the food was better there. Chef Mickey's is more on the lively side 'cause there's music and napkin twirling and stuff, but both are great!
