Afternoon tea at Lady Camellia's was the perfect remedy to melt away the stress of the day. My mom…read morehad heard about this place so we made a reservation for 4:15 pm, which is proper English tea time. The space is beautiful and tranquil. We were given a comfortable corner table with a view of the well-appointed room and the river beyond. The menu offers something for every appetite. We ordered the cream tea and the savory tea to share. This gave us classic and delicious scones -- proper English ones; not those triangular abominations that so many American establishments offer -- with Devonshire cream, strawberry preserves and lemon curd. Croissants were also an available option. The savory tea offered a choice of classic sandwiches which were all wonderful, but I particularly loved the chicken salad. Of course we each were given a pot of tea with a vast assortment to choose from. Earl Gray has long been my favorite, but somehow Lady Camellia's offers the best I've ever tasted on either side of the Atlantic. All of this was perfect enough, yet it was served to us by the loveliest woman who seemed to take genuine pleasure in our enjoyment of the whole experience. We can't wait to go back. One note: Lady Camellia's address is on the Strand, but if a member of your party has mobility issues, you'll want to avoid this route as steps block your way. Instead, approach from S. Union Street for a flat walk.

So in deciding to make it a Mother's Day tradition to have tea, I wanted to ensure that we have access to restrooms. Peacock Alley is highly recommended and I see why. There is a wide variety of teas and there are cocktails and mocktails, if you desire. Loved the high tea vibe, our waitress had great customer service, and they are able to make dietary accommodations for the food. And valet parking was discounted. Highly recommend and this is where we will have our Mother's Day tea going forward.

It's so close to the White House and the Washington monument so we were able to take in some sights while we were here. The cherry trees were in bloom and this balmy spring day was gorgeous! Parking was a breeze despite our reservations that we'd have trouble parking, but no, we were right out front! This tearoom is truly set up like an alley... a long hall with tables on either side, beautifully elegant and meticulously appointed from the beautiful chandelier light fixtures to the patterned carpet to the brocade bluish green wallpaper and the along the stairs some peacock wallpaper! We ooohed and aaahed with every step! The cherry branches stood tall in the Asian inspired planters along the tables and vases with tulips graced each table setting. As we entered we were offered a cranberry cocktail (or mocktail) drink with fresh rosemary and presented with an amuse-bouche which was quite amusing. Along with the other tiered items were the delectable scones with lemon curd, clotted cream, and jams, several savories including a cucumber finger sandwich, and open faced roast beef toast, and a chicken salad roll (also a salmon tart which I didn't care for). There were also tea cookies, a scrumptious meringue puff, and a chocolate truffle. All exquisite. The tea menu was extensive and I chose the Willard Signature Blend with rose petals, bergamot, and orange peel and we also had the Darjeeling. As we sipped and stirred and nibbled and chatted, our cares melted away as we savored each morsel. At the end of our meal, we were delighted with champagne to top off the afternoon! The tea service was brilliant with gold edged plates and teacups, a silver tea strainer, & bright white teapots. The harpist played gently in the background as we enjoyed our marvelous tea time ... and the service was impeccable! Worth every pretty penny! The hotel was so grand and we took a little tour after we finished our tea! A memorable event which made an everlasting impression!

The white glove service, super crisp clean and whimsical ambiance, mixed with an array of interesting treats made for an incredible experience. There were many people having a girls day, out with their daughters, and even having high tea as a family. Even if you don't know anything about tea, the servers there are super knowledgeable and will guide you through the process. Starting with the hand towel (so cool!) you begin feeling relaxed and refreshed. I chose to start off with the Gen Maicha, which had a delightful popcorn taste I couldn't get enough of! For my cocktail, I chose a simple bubby rose', but my friends said their cherry blossom flavored tea inspired cocktail was amazing. As you can see, they did not cut any corners with the high tea treats, which ranged from savory to sweet. The peppery pink spread for the scone was one of my favorites. The playfulness of the colors, perfection of the shapes, and subtle but perfect flavors all engaged the senses. I cannot wait to return. For the price point, this high tea was incredible. I highly recommend!

I don't recommend ordering any type of waffles, it came out cold and even though they replaced it, it just got cold and hard quick, it was not good. I really enjoyed their tea! Felt bougie for the day and burned a hole in my wallet but it was well worth the experience. Definitely need to try at least once.

One of the oldest Tavern's in the US, opening in 1747 this venue is a cultural landmark…read more The tavern was originally opened as both a hat shop and an "ordinary tavern" by hatter and merchant William Reynolds. But how's the food? Well, I am just getting to that read below for the whole endeavor. My girlfriend and I sat down and were fairly impressed with the Tea service set ups that several customers seemed to be partaking in. When we asked about gluten free tea service it was a no go however, they didn't have many substitutes that they could offer, strike one. We started with some appetizers, the Crepe Aubergine (thinly sliced eggplant flash fried, rolled and stuffed with Ricotta with Spinach, herbs and minced onion. Served over roasted tomato sauce). This came out piping hot and was deee-licious. We also ordered the mussels, which I thought were exceptional however over six of them were closed and you know the saying, if the shell is closed, do not open, place aside and mourn the wasted food. Strike 1 and a half? The server we had was well.....very bad. She seemed like the opposite of a type A personality, barely coming over even after my girlfriend ordered a tea and we needed another teacup to try the tea as it steeping. The experience of eating here was very tainted by the service as when I asked for the check we waited and waited and eventually, I had to track her down and ask for it again. Strike two and a half? The menu is interesting as they have unique items like Fried Seafood Cornbread and Frito Pie on the menu (Our house chili served over Fritos chips and topped with sour cream and shredded cheese). I am not sure why an upscale restaurant like this would have Frito Pie on the menu, but I like the fact that you can order a nice steak or something more lowkey like a Frito Pie. Although we both felt disappointed as we had some high expectations from the person who recommended it, I would go back if I was in the area and give them another shot. As always people SYOY!!!!
