    We went for the Holiday Tea. In years past, there was both valet parking and a gift included in the price of the tea. Neither were available this year. Moreover, our table was right by the hallway bathroom and several other guests bumped into our table. One guest event put their hand on our table, by our food, as they stopped and steadied themselves. The scones and desserts were lovely. The savories were ok, and the lobster was so tough as to be inedible. I had previously recommended this tea to several friends. I will no longer do so based on this experience.

    Service & food were just not up to their usual standards this year. We have gone several times in the past & loved it, but we were disappointed this year.

    Exquisite afternoon tea in the heart of the Willard Hotel steeped in Washington History. From the harpist, delicious and beautiful canapés, scones, and petit fours, the holiday tea is a feast for the eyes, ears, and stomach. Wonderful service and finally staff. Delightful experience and perfect kickoff to the holiday season. 🎄🫖🎅

    Everything was perfect! The food quality, amount, and presentation were great. The tea menu was extensive, and hot water was refilled as needed. Very attentive service.
