"Everything's first-class" at this "perfect" American in Cape May that remains the epitome of "civilized, elegant dining", offering "traditional food prepared with finesse", an "unbelievable wine cellar" and "extremely professional service"; its 1840s plantation house setting is "gorgeous, especially at Christmas," prompting fans to gush "the whole package is fabulous."
Zagat's
  

"Washington Inn is the grande dame of polished elegance . . . with a contemporary menu and one of the finest wine cellars around. There are nearly 500 excellent selections at relatively affordable prices. The building, no longer a working inn, has a grand, sunny quality reminiscent of a New Orleans Garden District home, with its muraled walls, glassed-in porch, and a tented patio room done up with white lattice and a wrought-iron fountain teeming with flowers. Few restaurants deliver a meal with more precision and attention to high-quality seasonal ingredients. And chef Mimi Wood's food is far from staid; the updates are simply added gently. They prove that some classics don't need updating."
The Philadelphia Inquirer
  

"But if the heavyweight title belongs to anyone in town, it belongs to the Washington Inn. This is the grande dame of top Cape May restaurants, an old 1840s-era mansion that was serving customers before Cape May became trendy.  The lovingly prepared food has grown over the years to satisfy sophisticated culinary tastes. But atmosphere and service hearken back to the grace, gentility and charm of a past era."
The Press of Atlantic City
