Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Clinton

Best tea in DC...this time with an inaugural flair...the Willard was decorated for the parade and many folks were gathering for pre-inaugural events...tea itself was fabulous... wonderful tea, tasty champagne and we needed a to go box for all the savory and sweet treats

We had my daughter‘s birthday party here. It was a large party (10). Everyone had a great time and enjoyed their food. It is a small place, and the staff work hard to accommodate as many people as they can. Their phone doesn’t work the best, so stop by and talk to them in person if you need to.

We were treated with incredible kindness and thoughtfulness for our granddaughters who are picky eaters. But I must say that the cost of the tea service was extreme, even for Washington DC. I have lived in the city and in NYC for a very long time and I was startled by the pricing. But we were treat3ed beautifully!

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.

The entire high tea experience was perfect and ideal. Everything was perfect! The foods outstanding. The tea selection was so many it was hard to choose from. We each were satisfied with our selections and recommendations from our server. It was a wonderful afternoon and I would highly recommend this for a special afternoon with friends and family. Plus they have a no cell phone use policy. It was nice quiet conversations, exactly how dining out should be. Thank you to everyone who made our cold afternoon a delight.
