   This hotel is absolutely stunning and decorated so beautifully for every season/holiday. There were flowers everywhere and a lovely harpist playing. The service was slow and we barely saw our waiter. A little more attention would have been nice. We had the vegan tea menu and it was a little disappointing - I wish they had tried to make more v vegan pastries instead of giving us fruit and a mousse. The scones were delicious though! Vegan butter with the jam would have been an easy and nice touch. Overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the experiencce.

   A wonderful tea with exquisite details and presentation that celebrated DC's cherry blossoms.

   We had such a lively festive afternoon tea, celebrating a special birthday. Every bite and sip was delicious and the staff was gracious and friendly. We are so glad we chose the Willard for afternoon tea!

   I am a regular at the Willard Hotel Tea Room. What a magical experience! The service is stellar and the food scrumptious. This is a must for anyone visiting DC.

   Amazing experience and great food. My only feedback is to get there early to get seating in the main dining area. Otherwise there are side rooms where you are away from the fun ambiance and live music.

    We love afternoon tea and try to go whenever we can, especially to venues we have never tried before. The afternoon tea at the Willard was exquisite!!! One of the best if not the BEST we have ever had. The food was delightful, especially the scones and pastries. Each pastry was a small bite of heaven, incorporating unique and wonderful flavor combinations, not the same tired flavors found at most afternoon teas. And the service was impeccable!! Can't say enough good things about it (and no this is not a "compensated" review.) You must experience afternoon tea at the Willard hotel in DC.
