Cape May’s only beachside rooftop deck and restaurant with amazing views of the water is back for the final weeks of summer and the early days of fall. Mother nature may have rained on the parade for June and July, but Harry’s and The Montreal are hoping the forecast is smooth sailing with beautiful beach days, lots of rays, sparkling waves and a signature crush in hand with music in the air for now through October.
Diners at Harry’s may have spotted a new face in the kitchen with the addition of a Cape May local. Executive Chef Matt Calvert is leading the culinary team and firing up your shore favorites – with his own twist on Harry’s signature favorites and new additions. Calvert is passionate about elevating ingredient-driven food classics with modern cooking techniques and an emphasis on freshness and flavor. Born and raised in North Cape May, Calvert is a graduate of Lower Cape May Regional High School where he began his culinary journey at a local pizzeria. From there, he navigated his way through popular Cape May destinations with culinary positions at Congress Hall and Villas Fishing Club.
Calvert expanded his talents to Buffalo, NY where he climbed up the ladder towards his first Executive Chef position at Canal Club 62. After a 7-year journey, Calvert wanted to return to his roots down the shore. He found Harry’s as his new home, coincidentally located just blocks away from his favorite Queen St. Beach. When he’s not crafting delicious shore town eats, Calvert enjoys fishing and surfing with huge interests in music and art.
Some of Calvert’s most notable dishes include his award-winning New England Clam Chowder packed with clams, potatoes, bacon all together in a rich and creamy mixture. Be on the lookout for additional specialties coming soon to Harry’s like his Loaded Pulled Pork Nachos, Crispy Fried Calamari and Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese!
