    We enjoyed dining from the new cafe menu for dinner. Our honey squash soup was wonderful and we both enjoyed our entrees, I had the skirt steak and my husband had the fresh pasta! We finished our lovely dinner with chocolate dessert which was very good. Thank you for offering this excellent value during the month of January.

    On December 28th, 2024 we had an excellent dinner at The Washington Inn. My wife had roasted wild mushroom soup, baked escargot, and the colors of the garden salad. I had 2 oysters and seafood cioppino. For dessert we shared Bananas Foster. All the food was excellent along with the service. This restaurant exudes old time Cape May quality and I am sorry we have not dined here more often. The bill came to $150 including tip.

    We had a six person dinner and enjoyed each course one after the next. The specials were thoughtfully prepared and we found ourselves sharing and complimenting the creativity of the menu. Dylan our server was knowledgeable, classy, and timely. The wine list was well curated. An additional note of enjoyment was choosing some of our favorite songs for the talented musician to play on the piano while we dined. Excellent all around.

    Small intimate dinning room in the Washington pedestrian mall. Professional, friendly & attentive staff. Attractively decorated for the holiday while still maintaining elegance. It is BYOB. The New England Clam Chowder was flavorful with generous amount of clams. Husband had grilled polenta with broccoli rabe & fresh shaved Pecorino Romano cheese “like Mom used to make.” I couldn’t finish my seafood risotto. So generous was the portion of local shrimp, scallops & clams though I tried ! Husband had Shrimp & Salmon with mash potatoes in chili sauce. Delicious. Try the Pumpkin cheesecake & you’ll think it’s Thanksgiving again. Highly reccomended
