We had a six person dinner and enjoyed each course one after the next. The specials were thoughtfully prepared and we found ourselves sharing and complimenting the creativity of the menu. Dylan our server was knowledgeable, classy, and timely. The wine list was well curated. An additional note of enjoyment was choosing some of our favorite songs for the talented musician to play on the piano while we dined. Excellent all around.

Washington Inn has upped its game in the food category! Fantastic meal including some old favorites -oysters Rockefeller and their famous crab cakes. Beef tartare was terrific with truffle sauce. Atmosphere cozy and friendly. Bartenders are excellent and the cocktails were delicious. They have a huge wine list and a knowledgeable sommelier. Highly recommend!

We chose The Ebbitt Room to celebrate Christmas! The restaurant was beautifully decorated, the staff was friendly and the food was excellent. We had the king salmon, the cioppino and the lamb shank. All 3 entrees were very flavorful and nicely plated. For dessert we shared the donuts and cinnamon ice cream. Both were enjoyable. The Ebbitt Room is one of Cape May’s finest restaurants!
