Reviews For Ebbitt Room

We went here for after dinner drinks on a Saturday night. It was very crowded. Found two seats in the front next to the bar because the bar was full. Was greeted by a waitress within five minutes and got two great drinks. The first one was lemonade and vodka, and the other was called a lemon drop basil. Both were very good. The bill for two drinks was 40 with tip. Had a great atmosphere with a piano player. The Hotel in which the Ebbits Room is in (Virginia Hotel) is from the 18th century. It is beautiful. I did not give food a rating since we did not order any food.

While the rest of Cape May was on Beach Ave, we found this little gem with ample porch seating and a beautiful bar inside. We ordered the calamari and smoked trout dip, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and a local beer. The dip was excellent! Perfect afternoon snack, and the service was delightful. We’ll be back!

Absolutely fantastic experience, especially thanks to the bartender Fletch. My fiance and I had wonderful custom cocktails while we waited for our table and then received great service and delicious food to complete the experience!

We had dinner at the Ebbett room last night, and it was a wonderful experience! From the very beginning, I spoke to young lady named Erin secured my reservation on the front porch was very pleasant and exactly The type of person you want to represent you on the phone or at the front door! Our server was Adrian, he was fantastic, very attentive, and made sure that everything was perfect, Again exactly the type of person you would want to represent You and your restaurant! We started with the calamari tempura, which had a different twist on it. I had the chicken With peaches and broccolini and My wife had the New York strip both were absolutely wonderful. For dessert we went for the donuts they were out of this world! All a wonderful dinner a great night and your staff was on point made us feel so comfortable. We would love to come back.! Thank you again, See you soon!

Such an elegant meal and dining experience. The staff are courteous and inside had a piano player. We tried the rolls, grilled octopus, scallops, duck, baby carrots, and the chocolate tart. Every single dish was exquisite, it felt so luxurious. I do recommend making a reservation for dinner.

Our server Jordan was amazing. The burrata and asparagus salad was delicious and the cioppino was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had.
