The Skinny: Head chef Chip Roman’s impressive resume — he’s worked with Marc Vetri, Georges Perrier and Daniel Stern — also includes a keen sense for healthful cooking. His summer menu is ripe with fresh, locally sourced fruit and vegetables, and he uses oil sparingly to prepare each light, simple dish.

Order: The Cape May oysters (a fat-free plate with refreshing lemon juice and pickled local honeydew) or the free-range chicken (prepared sous vide — chef-talk for vacuum packing and slow cooking — with just a tiny bit of oil, and served with Kennett Square mushrooms, squash from Jersey and PA farms, and baby greens from Branch Creek Farm).
