    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!
