Ebbitt Room

The Ebbitt Room at The Virginia Hotel stands as Cape May's premier fine dining destination, delivering an exceptional farm-to-table experience that has earned critical acclaim and the prestigious 2025 Chef of the Year award from the New Jersey Restaurant and Hospitality Association for Chef Jason. Located in the heart of historic Cape May, New Jersey, this sophisticated restaurant specializes in innovative American cuisine that celebrates the rich agricultural heritage of the Jersey Shore region. The restaurant's commitment to sustainability and local sourcing is evident in every dish, with ingredients harvested from Beach Plum Farm located less than two miles away in West Cape May. Menu highlights include the exquisite Cape May Scallops served with corn risotto and parma ham, the elegant Branzino with tuscan kale and trout caviar, and the show-stopping A5 Japanese Wagyu for the most discerning palates. The bar program features creative craft cocktails like the signature Amelia with beach plum farm blackberry preserves. The refined yet approachable ambiance features a smart casual dress code, making it perfect for special occasions or an elevated night out. Open nightly for dinner from 5:00pm to 10:00pm, with the bar opening earlier on weekends. Reservations are strongly recommended and require a credit card guarantee.
