5 full stars to the harpist. I literally teared up at ‘Do you want to build a snowman’, I loved seeing the little girls jamming to kpop demon hunters. Pachabelle’s canon and beatles covers were a delight.
Tea was very well. I am a gluten free vegetarian. Veuve cliquot is my favorite Champagne. The room was gorgeous. I would have loved one more vegetarian sandwich option like egg salad or a fake tuna/chicken salad though they had 3 tartlets that were pretty good. I wish i had gone straight for the desserts. They were divineeeeee from start to finish.

I came here for my friends bachelorette which was a really nice experience. Overall it was great, the pasteries and sandwiches were very good and they even have a gluten free menu. We opted for the champagne service as well, which was nice. There was a good selection of tea, you get to choose one tea per person. I ordered a green tea which was bitter when I received it, this usually means it was brewed at too high of a temperature. I was surprised that at this price point I would receive such a bitter tea. Other than that it’s a lovely environment and a very enjoyable experience. Being in a hotel it’s a little chaotic, there was also a wedding happening as we were leaving.

We love an afternoon tea! This one is set up in Peacock Alley in the Willard Hotel, which is basically a hallway. Still lovely and a nice experience with live harp music. Everything was enjoyable, but we especially enjoyed the cognac lobster sandwich, pear toffee basket and the scones. $90/adult or $105 with a glass of champagne. $65/child. Would recommend.

We made special Valentine’s reservations for high tea and were really disappointed. There was loud construction happening right next to us for a wedding setup, including constant drilling, which completely ruined the atmosphere. When we mentioned it, the manager told us the space had been rented out later that evening — like that was supposed to make the experience better.
Service and overall attention felt lacking, especially for what’s supposed to be a premium experience. Unfortunately, it didn’t feel special at all.

Everything was perfection. Food, tea selection and champagne. Loved the harpist and it added a nice touch to the ambiance. My daughter and her tiance treated me for my birthday and I was surprised to receive a special cupcake and the harpist played Happy Birthday. The service and attention to detail was excellent.

Deepak and his team provided superb service, and the harp player was amazing (even welcoming requests toward the end of the set…we love Phantom of the Opera). The signature tea was superb and complex, and sandwiches, scones, and patisserie all top notch. We appreciate that this is one of the only classic, British style high tea services in the DC area. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks to Cesar the manager as well for checking in on all the guests.

I’ve been coming to the Willard for holiday tea for years and this was by far the most disappointing experience. We were seated promptly at noon, but it was 12:45 until we were served any tea – and the food didn’t come until after that. Overall the service was spotty – took a long time to refill water and really no one checked to see if the food was good. The food was pretty good – not the stellar assortment of years past. I spoke with the manager afterward so hopefully our experience will not befall other guests.

I had a wonderful time here today celebrating my sister‘s birthday! Having tea at the Wiilard is such a special and fun thing to do! The hotel is the perfect setting. The Willard is such a beautiful, historic hotel. They had a harpist play, and she was wonderful. I loved all her selections, and she did a wonderful job. Our tea came with both champagne and tea. We got to choose from a wide selection of teas. I’m generally not a big tea person but mine was delicious. I got the Willard special selection. It’s their own blend. The three-tiered tray had scones on one level, little sandwiches on one, and little desserts on the other. They also gave us each a tray of different butters and jams. My favorite thing was the scones and the butter/jam selections. We each also got a birthday cupcake, even though it was only her birthday, and they sang for her! The gentlemen who served us were very sweet and attentive. I didn’t necessarily love all the desserts and sandwiches, but I ate so much. I was quite full, so it didn’t make any difference. We left a lot of food at the end. It’s definitely expensive but for a special occasion, it’s worth it.

Our experience was great. I went for my tea loving friend’s birthday. The tea selection was great and the pastries and finger sandwiches were inventive. We especially loved the curry chicken served on an edible spoon. The customer service was the most outstanding. Our server, Deepak, was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great chatter. He has a great sense of humor and has mastered the art of pouring champagne. One of the major reasons diversity matters so much is giving us the chance to learn about people and their experiences. There was a minor issue outside of everyone’s control and no one freaked out. We simply relayed it to Deepak and he consulted with the manager, who came out to ask how everything was going and apologized, though we felt it unnecessary, it was greatly appreciated. Ultimately, they offered us complimentary champagne, and additional edibles, and comped the cost of one of our tea selections. Consummate professionalism. This was a top tier experience.

I really enjoy going out to teas; unfortunately, Peacock Alley was disappointing. Overall, the food was underwhelming and the service was lacking.
We had a 1:00 reservation for the cherry blossom tea. We arrived on time to a herd of people crammed in the lobby for the tea. It took 15 minutes to be sat at our table. The alley is beautiful; however, there were paint cans strewn about in the corner.
We were never offered water or asked if we’d like another glass of champagne. Our empty champagne glasses were never cleared from the table. We were brought the check while we still had a dessert plate left. Had to ask for boxes and track someone down for a bag to carry them.
The menu leaned far more to the sweet side. The cherry blossom chocolate tree looked like a pink haired troll head.
The harp player was a nice touch and added to the ambience of the room.
Other teas that I’ve enjoyed have offered better food selections and impeccable service. I suggest booking elsewhere.
