   Fabulous high tea with over the top excellent service by Gaby. The presentation was beautiful. The foods were attractive and delicious. The signature tea I wish that I could box and take home. Everything was perfect. Such a delightful afternoon. I would recommend to everyone in a heartbeat!

   Wonderful afternoon celebrating my Dad’s birthday. Quality time in one of DC’s most regal hotels. We had the St Regis tea blend which was phenomenal. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We had a live pianist too! I called earlier to let the staff know of my dietary restrictions and they had it all prepared for me. Would love to bring my MIL for her birthday!

   Food is all over remade for the day and you can tell. Everything is cold and taste like it’s just been sitting in the fridge uncovered. Save your money and go somewhere else

   One of the most beautiful afternoon teas I’ve done. It’s right up there with The Ritz and The Plaza. The piano player was especially lovely and made the whole experience top notch. I loved the “presidential sweets” and only wish that there’d been chicken salad with the savories-not because everything else wasn’t exceptional, but that’s usually my favorite sandwich with tea. Oh, and the St Regis blend of tea was DELICIOUS! I would love to come back and do this tea!

    What promised to be an elegant afternoon tea at a historic property turned quickly into a historically horrendous clown show of service miscommunication, apologies and excuses by staff and management. On the plus side, the on-site manager comped the tea service for 2. But getting that accommodation was no fun at all, took all too much time and was completely avoidable but for the simple execution of food items that should have been prepared in light of previously, twice confirmed food allergies. What an ordeal…one that left my spouse waiting 50 minutes to finally receive her finger sandwiches. My advice…find another spot for a spot of afternoon tea. This one is well past it’s peak, especially at its price.

    St Regis is beautiful and festive, our brunch experience could have been better. We added champagne, which came in glasses with heavy lipstick, yuck. The food was lovely, we asked to swap meat for the cucumber sandwiches for one guest and the server told us no, so our vegetarian guest only ate one item. To be fair, they called the afternoon before to confirm and I couldn’t take the call, so I hope if I had let them know then they would have accommodated. I think it was the server who was so sharp that made it more off putting. She also asked us not to eat the dessert centerpiece as she placed it on the table, which honestly made us laugh and was rather ridiculous—it was clearly a haggard decoration. Also. No consideration is given for children, ie, no hot chocolate, just tea, so not great for younger kids. Overall, the afternoon tea feels more after thought here and there are so many other choices in DC.

    Afternoon tea was set in the lobby of the hotel so there were quite a bit of foot traffics and noise. The table was super small. The tea did not come with a warmer so it got cold pretty quick. The service was also lacking. I dropped my utensils pretty early into the afternoon tea and couldn’t get the attention of the server to get replacement, and no one stopped by to checked on us after dropping off our food. Overall, i was quite disappointed by the service. Afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton was much better in terms of service and value.

    Celebrated my friend’s birthday with the always lovely and delicious afternoon tea at the St. Regis. Everything feels special and the service and food are impeccable. The little savory tea sandwiches are always creative and yummy. The scones and sweet offerings are scrumptious. Given its close proximity to the White House, we truly appreciated the desserts named after presidents and the white chocolate White House on top is the crown of the jewel tower of food delicacies. Well worth it. I highly recommend this wonderful afternoon treat!

    The presentation was lovely, food of good quality but the server could have been more attentive. The table was very low and very long so we could not easily reach items. Also, we had to ask for our pot to be refilled after it had been empty for some time. We enjoyed our Sunday afternoon tea but would expect to be checked on during the tea especially with only 1 pot for two people.

    Tea at St Regis was amazing, everything was so delicious and I don’t know what they put in their black tea but it slaps so hard. Love that you can sit by the window as well, the lighting on a sunny day was so pretty.

    For $165 for 2, we shouldn’t have left afternoon tea both hungry and thirsty. The food looked very attractive, but didn’t seem fresh and or particularly tasty. An egg sandwich shouldn’t taste sugary. Another finger sandwich had an uneven grittiness to it. We couldn’t get the waitress’ attention to get more milk for our tea and by the time we finally got it, the tea was cold.

    Arranged St. Regis Afternoon Tea for my wife and her friend for my wife’s birthday. They absolutely loved it! Both raved about the proprietary tea blend, desserts, specialty cocktails, ambiance and outstanding service from Dmytro. They even stuck around for the sabering, and said it was fun and cool. Highly recommend.

    This was not the sumptuous tea experience the price and location suggests. Tea is held in the beautiful lobby in comfortable wingback chairs. I got their signature blend tea which was ok (very fruity black tea). They hadn't asked about eating restrictions when they confirmed, but when we got there I found out that they couldn't accommodate no-gelatin in the desserts. The server seemed to be suggesting we couldn't eat there, though when I requested an alternative (more scones), she agreed. The food itself was gorgeous and tasty but the service was lackluster. She brought out the desserts when we were still eating the sandwiches which was a problem since there isn't room on the table for both. They also need to use tea lights since the tea gets quite cold. Good food, not well executed afternoon tea.

    Pastries are sugar bombs and not good. My partner and I ordered the same tea but had to share a teapot. The Willard gives everyone their own teapot.

    The hostess, Oksana, was exceptional. It was an anniversary and they made extra efforts to accommodate small changes we asked and they were always very attentive . Having done high tea at several other places, this stands out as one of, if not the ultimate, best.

    Terrible service by Gaby. Rarely checked on us. Our tea got extremely cold and we had to wait for 15 min for Gaby to check on us to request a new pot. My husband had to walk up to the bar to ask for water because Gaby didn’t ask if we wanted water when we placed our tea order. There were two bugs that kept flying around and ruined our experience on top of lack of service. Food was amazing.
