The service and food is always outstanding! We especially love the Parker rolls and butternut squash soup. The piano playing made the whole experience a 10!

Our first impression was homey, and inviting. It was very well decorated and the lighting was perfect. The service was excellent and so were the cocktails. That's where the 5 stars ends. The fare was at Best 4 stars and value was less. We started with the grilled oysters and they were good. Our entrees consisted of a 8 oz filet with broccolini. The filet was cooked fine but was a little tough, the broccolini was charged/ burnt. For 64.00 dollars I would expect a lot better. The duck special was tasty but lacked more flavor and was not crispy. They had a few Asian influenced dishes, which I felt were moved away from their identity. Espresso was lacking depth and body, in other words weak. Overall we had a good time. I would give it another try.

We ate on a Tuesday night recently while all of the Christmas decorations in Cape May were appearing. Decorations in the Ebbitt room were fabulous. We were cheerfully greeted from the moment we walked in. The service was very good and prompt. The wine list is terrific. Our meals were definite five-star. We'll be back!

The oysters were wonderful from the Delaware Bay. The halibut and scallops were to die for especially the scallops; big, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The ambiance inside during Christmas time adds to the dining experience. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend.
