Washington InnMy favorite restaurant in Cape MayI try to visit the Washington Inn at least once a year... To me, it is a "special occasion" restaurant... I couldn't afford it every week. But it is well worth the price. The food is spectacular. The maitre d is always extremely pleasant... The wait staff was very friendly and helpful... Even the valet boys were exceptional...All in all, a very pleasant and memorable experience.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA very nice timeFor us this was a splurge - more than we could normally spend but a special treat for Mother's Day. It did not disappoint.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful food & service.Patrice was our server & she was wonderful.
Food is always amazing.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMHusband's Birthday DinnerWe went to the Washington Inn on Saturday, May 11th to celebrate my husband's birthday. Everything was wonderful I had the pear salad and swordfish (special) entre. My husband had the (special) shrimp with fresh quacamole (soooo fresh, I won't be able to eat any other!) and the lamb chops. Dessert was fresh berries for me (watching my weight :)) and bananas foster for Jim...who would have licked the plate if he were at home! Everything was delightful. Mario as our attentive and personable waiter. We'll be back soon to enjoy the 5 menu offerings for $5 on a Friday at the wine bar...always a lot of fun!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMbest food everhave been here a few times over a 20 years. At a wedding this weekend, and made a reservation for two, then 5, then 7. Well everyone at the table order something different, and it was all great. everyone one loved it..5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday CelebrationI took my wife to the Washington Inn for her birthday. The service and food was excellent. Even though she declined dessert, the waiter preserved the surprise occasion by delivering sorbet with a candle in it.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good food.

Love it, will always be at the top of my list...5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place for one and all.....Whenever we come to Cape May for an extended stay, we always make a reservation at the Washington Inn on Saturday night. The entrees and appetizers are first rate and delicious whether you select a fish dish, duck, steak, lamb or veal chops, etc. The service is exceptional. Michael Craig is a gracious host who makes your evening a top notch delight. Make sure that you get at least one or two of their signature Beach Plum martinis. If you like a good martini, believe me, you'll thank me for this heads' up tip. The prices are reasonable for Cape May dining. See you there soon! Semper Fi to all my Corps buddies out there!!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food, service andExcellent food, service and ambiance. Dined there New Years Eve and again for our April anniversary. Both dinners memorable. Will return next time we are in Cape May. Highly recommend.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMDressing for dinner?Always reliable and delicious.
As is true nowadays, people don't dress as they should. Superb food should call for respect in patrons' appearance. I don't expect designer clothes, but sloppy casual is disrespectful. Somehow the excellence of the food is a bit diminished by the slugs at nearby tables eating it.
Not the fault of the Inn. Cultural problem...4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMI've book this place to celebrateI've book this place to celebrate my wife's birthday and it was prefect. The food was great and portions were big. We started off with the bone marrow and crab cakes for our appetizers. Bone marrow was excellent and the crab cake was fresh and sweet. We're big foodies and this was one of the best bone marrow we have had. For our main we had the fluke risotto and lamb. The fluke was seasoned and tasted very fresh. The lamb was cooked beautifully med-rear and goes great with the reduction. This is definitely a return spot for us the next time we're in Cape May. This please is definitely more dressy than casual. They will not turn you down if you're in casual clothing but you will feel out of place.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have been going to theWe have been going to the Washington Inn for years and have never been disappointed.

Last Thanksgiving we searched Cape may for a restaurant that would serve a traditional thanksgiving dinner and could not find one. Buffets, full turkey to carve, etc but there was just the two of us. My wife said "Lets try the Washington Inn" and it's been no looking back since. The menu is great and so is the outstanding service. I will always go back.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMEaster Brunch was fabulous.Easter Brunch was fabulous.

I highly recommend!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always it was a wonderfulAs always it was a wonderful evening. The bar area gets a little too crowded. Might be nice if dining were limited to porch and more seats for cocktails. But then again it maybe was because of the time of the evening. We wouldn't care to eat in that area as it would be impossible to hear each other talk. The food however was suburb and we will definitely be back! A good place for a special occasion.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe ordered the Cioppino andWe ordered the Cioppino and Cassoulet. They were both excellent and included a glass of wine.

The menu is delightful; I had seen a vegan option on the website that didn't show up on the real menu. I asked the server about it and he was able to get that for me and it was delicious.
My husband had the snapper special and he was very pleased with his choice.
Overall, a great experience.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat NightExcellent evening. It was my wife's birthday, asked for a nice table and was seated and a very nice table.
