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.

Had a specialty Japanese dinner prepared by chef Jason. Jason just returned from 5 weeks as a guest apprentice chef in a Michelin starred Japanese restaurant . His third visit to Japan. Amazing multi course dinner paired with a variety of high-end Sake. A special event at our favorite Cape May restaurant!

Our dining experience at The Ebbit Room was exceptional. We started with the yellow tail crudo and deviled eggs as our appetizer the added the grilled oysters and salad special which had fresh arugula, Swiss chard, pomegranate seeds and what tasted like a sesame oil dressing. We then moved on to our entrees of ny strip steak cook to a perfect medium rare and the whole Dover Sole. Our meal and our service was just wonderful 10/10 The room is beautiful and lively, I truly cannot ask for a better place for a special meal. We will be back and sit at the bar for a drink and something more casual and relaxed. There is magic that happens in this place.
