    We recently enjoyed the Spill the Tea experience at Kingbird in the Watergate Hotel and had a wonderful time. The wide selection of teas was impressive, offering something for every palate. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, complementing the tea perfectly. We also appreciated that we were not rushed, allowing us to fully savor the experience in the elegant and inviting atmosphere. Overall, a very enjoyable afternoon that we would gladly return to for a special occasion. Four stars for a delightful tea experience with excellent service and tasty food.

    Very nice - a little overpriced but it’s a beautiful ambience and enjoyable experience overall. It was very cold inside but our waitress was kind enough to get a blanket for my mom.
