The Ebbitt Room at the Virginia Hotel
Nestled inside the elegant Virginia Hotel on historic Jackson Street, the Ebbitt Room has earned a reputation as one of Cape May’s finest restaurants. Known for its refined atmosphere, attentive service, and exceptional cuisine, it offers an unforgettable dining experience just steps from the beach.
The restaurant embraces a true farm-to-table philosophy, with many seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby Beach Plum Farm in West Cape May. The menu changes throughout the year, highlighting fresh local seafood, premium meats, garden vegetables, and creative chef-inspired specialties. The Ebbitt Room is equally well known for its handcrafted cocktails and carefully curated wine selection.
Guests can choose to dine in the intimate Victorian dining room, the lively bar area, or on the charming front porch overlooking Jackson Street—one of the most sought-after dining spots in Cape May. Live piano music on select evenings adds to the restaurant’s sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance.
Reservations are highly recommended, especially during the busy summer season, when this award-winning destination is a favorite among both visitors and locals alike.
