    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!

    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.
