Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Glover Park

Food was FANTASTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Foie Gras Appetizer and Steamed Burger. Amazing flavor profiles. Definitely will eat there again.

Wonderful little restaurant with great food and service, but a little noisy.

Highly recommend! Everything was spot on, as always. I’ve dined here multiple times and love it.

The Alice in Wonderland Tea Party is one of the best-curated experiences in DC. They set up their tea room - off the main restaurant, overlooking the terrace and Rock Creek Park - with Alice-themed decorations, including bronze statuettes from the book illustrations, the Mad Hatter’s hat, flamingoes, playing cards and more. While that may sound like a lot, it was tasteful and understated while encompassing everything that Alice is. Thankfully, there were no mice in the teapots. The selection of teas was fantastic. There were some teas selected by management, and others that were Disney-branded. My guest and I had the black tea with hints of strawberry, fig and vanilla (one of the Disney teas), and it was perfect. When you drink it, you know you’re drinking a black tea, but the hint of other flavors lightens the taste for a perfect afternoon tea. My guest and I were celebrating his birthday - he is a huge Alice fan. As adults, I was worried that this would be too childish, knowing nothing else about it, but it’s a very adult, refined experience, modeled after and on par with any afternoon tea you could have in London (and even better than some). The finger sandwiches were an incredibly varied selection, all carefully crafted. There wa severything from ham and Brie to olive to crab cake (one of the best crab cakes I’ve ever had). The scones and desserts were also fantastic. Service was incredible. Staff was amazingly attentive and kept bringing sandwiches until we were ready to burst. They brought out a slice of cake (complimentary for the birthday celebration) and even comped a mimosa and a glass of sparkling cider (for the non-drinker) to top off the celebration. The chef even came out to wish a happy birthday. Service was so good I tipped somewhere around 35%. If you or a loved one is an Alice fan (even if you’re not), this is a must-do experience.

It is such a sweet restaurant. The food is amazing. The service was wonderful. You can tell they take tremendous pride in what they do. Great place.
