The Ebbitt Room
Upscale restaurant in the Virginia Hotel, sourcing from the owners' Beach Plum Farm. The executive chef was named New Jersey Chef of the Year 2025.
Located inside the historic Virginia Hotel, this restaurant focuses on farm-to-table dining. Many vegetables and fruits come from the owners' Beach Plum Farm in West Cape May. The menu changes with the seasons and often features Cape May scallops and steaks, and the cocktails are also carefully crafted. Executive Chef Jason Hanin was named 2025 Chef of the Year by the New Jersey Restaurant Association. In summer, the hotel porch serves Delaware Bay oysters with sparkling wine, accompanied by live piano. Book 1–2 weeks ahead. Expect to spend US$60 or more per person. It is within walking distance of The Mad Batter.
