The Ebbitt Room is one of our favorite restaurants in Cape May. It’s a bit pricier than many others but in this case you do get what you pay for. Everything from the dinner rolls to the dessert is delicious and memorable.

Although guests at hotel sat us on the porch where the maitre d was engaged in loud conversation with othrr guests. We should if requested main room as porch is loud and stark. Menu is not inspiring. Starters are better choices than mains. Yet Octopus was tough. Scallops were perfectly grilled, tasty on. A bed of pea purree, verts & lima. Service was attentive but started with no table setting. Then no knife. Food served promptly and hot! Alas. Ebbitt charges full fare fine dining but this was more NJ better diner dinner.

Great service from front waitress Danica, as well as maitre d’, back waiter, and especially, the cheerful, friendly, attentive busboy. Lovely, charming atmosphere, including a couple of birthday celebrations. Food was great: grilled oysters were excellent, scallops were very good, and the halibut was amazing; presentation in each case was beautiful, and the Key Lime pie was unique and delicious. We will be back to explore the menu, and the charming bar.

Snappy service. Excellent cocktails. The porch was quiet ish. Certainly not loud. The food was very good. Did it blow my hair back? No. But it doesn’t have to. They’re doing good work here. I would comfortably recommend The Ebbitt Room to friends and family.

The food was absolutely delicious. We got the New York steak, and Broiled Scallops. Steak and Scallops were cooked to perfection. My husband likes to cook as a hobby. I like to eat. We both throughly enjoyed our meal.
