    We had an 8pm reservation and weren’t seated until 8:35pm. Manager didn’t handle the delay n seating well and our server and wait staff wasn’t up to par. Multiple dishes didn’t come out on time and several dishes were wrong. We used to love this restaurant but won’t be back again. There are too many other great restaurants in the town.

    We had a wonderful time although the management and staff was very concerned trying to turn tables the whole night for reservations. We were constantly being asked by staff if they could take our plates while we were eating. I felt rushed

    We got the rib eye and NY strip steaks. Perfectly seasoned and tender. Calamari was excellent as well. Beautifully decorated for the holiday season and they had a pianist playing. It was a lovely place and delicious dinner.

    We requested a specific table when we reserved and were told upon arrival that it was not available. We are locals and dine often at the Ebbitt Room and this has never happened before.

    Excellent dinner, Excellent service, Beautifully decorated for the holidays. It's good to know that there still is a 5star restaurant in CapeMay. A few of our favorite restaurants in Cape May have slipped in the past couple years especially with service. The Ebbitt Room hit every standard of excellence and they were open past 8pm!
