| "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." "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 Washington
Inn, A Most Enchanting Spot, The Food Served Here is Imaginatively Conceived, Attractively
Presented and Competently Served." "The Washington Inn May Be The Town's
Finest." "The Washington Inn Deserves
It's Accolades." "Best of The Best, Best Service,
Best Wine List, Best Atmosphere, Most Romantic." "We Can Easily See Why Our
Reader Was So Impressed By Your Kitchen." "Elegant Without Being
Fussy." "Everyone At Our B&B Raved
About The Washington Inn." |
