Restaurant Review

One of the top Cape May restaurants offering a fine dining, romantic experience in a charming bed and breakfast hotel.

Located in the Virginia Hotel, built in 1879, you can enjoy your dining in the stylish restored dining area, done up in peach and gray, swaged draperies, fresh cut flowers, and live piano music, all adding to an elegant atmosphere for a romantic dinner. A good choice for Valentine's Day.

With it's new Executive Chef Lucas Manteca, formerly of the Sea Salt in Stone Harbor, taking over in August, 2009, the kitchen has experienced a resurgence after a brief fall off in quality with it's previous chef.

Chef Lucas Manteca is adept at preparing creative flavorful sea food dishes and other menu selections using farm-fresh ingredients from the hotels' nearby 62 acre farm.

On Mondays and Thursdays during the summer season, The Ebbitt Room serves up a three-course "farm-to-table" menu complete with wine pairings.

The restaurant also has a well stocked bar, where you can enjoy a cocktail or after dinner drink in the fireplace lounge while listening to Steve LaManna on the piano.

During the warmer summers you can eat out on the porch for a much more casual feeling.

To complete the romantic experience, book a room and have breakfast on the porch in the morning.

They also has a lovely private dining room called the Richmond Room suitable for a business or family occasion.

During the off-peak season, The Ebbitt Room is open from November - December: 6 days per week : 5:30pm - 9pm, and is closed on Tuesdays. They are open 7 days per week between Christmas and New Year's Eve, and on Sundays the weekends of Martin Luther King Day, President's Day and Valentine's Day. In January, February and March they are open on Fridays and Saturdays.

Reservations are recommended and there is valet parking during the summer peak months. A note of caution: On busy weekends they tend to over book and even with a reservation, you may experience a wait of 1/2 - 1 hour. They are open during the winter months.
