Long before the farm-to-table trend invaded America, Louisa’s espoused this philosophy, and served food to match. The tiny-but-iconic eatery was established in 1980 and has been dishing out incredibly fresh and delicious food in the small historic yellow building ever since. The menu is all regional fare — fish caught from the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, plus vegetables, fruits, herbs (and beautiful fresh flowers) from West Cape May’s Beach Plum Farm, augmented by produce from other New Jersey farms.The kitchen philosophy is to cook simple, expertly seasoned dishes that are lovingly prepared and made from fresh, first-rate ingredients. The menu changes often but the one constant you’ll find here is the dedication to a great dining experience.

    Amazing dinner! The swordfish and salmon were so fresh, the side salad was delicious, and the staff was exceptional. Be sure to check out the restroom for a “whale” of a surprise!

    We came to Cape May for a romantic post-engagement getaway, and the Washington Inn did not disappoint. This place is perfect for everyone. We saw friends, families, and couples gathered together for good food and drinks. We loved our food, cocktails, and our waitress, Rachel! We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Cape May. The food, drinks, and ambience were perfect. Thank you to the staff at the Washington Inn! We will be back and we will recommend it to all our friends!

    We ate on a Tuesday night recently while all of the Christmas decorations in Cape May were appearing. Decorations in the Ebbitt room were fabulous. We were cheerfully greeted from the moment we walked in. The service was very good and prompt. The wine list is terrific. Our meals were definite five-star. We'll be back!
