   Service left a lot to be desired. It was slow and inattentive. Some of the sandwiches seemed to have bread that was a bit stale. Scones and sweets were delicious.

   The tea was meticulously well-prepared, the service was polite and timely, and the ambiance was elegant without being fussy.

   Love afternoon teas. This was fine but was not a great one. Scones were delish but the other treats were disappointing.

   Very pleasant ambience, hidden away. Lunch food was quite good (not outstanding, but very good). Wait staff was pleasant, prompt, and not intrusive. A very good find for a business lunch.

    Tea bags????? The service and the food were lovely, the room charming, perfect for English tea, and the tea was delicious, but not freshly brewed in pot. I was surprised, and a little put off. Tea isn't really tea when it's in a bag ... sorry! Everything else was lovely.

    I found the front staff to be very helpful when I had a problem with my credit card. But, the food was really very average and the amount served for the cost was less than generous compared to other Afternoon Teas offered at comparable hotels. Staff were very nice, but just did not check in with the tables after being served our food. We were missing something and I basically had to get up and go get a server to pay attention to me. Water never refilled, etc. I am glad I tried Henley Park, but would not go back for tea.

    This was a lovely tea event for a an individual attending afternoon tea for the first time. Although the ambience and food was good I was disappointed in the tea service and tea ware accessories- it was not very beautiful or delicate just basic hotel service ware.

    While the hotel was very interesting and the history is great. The space where the tea was held left me feeling...meh. It could have been that we were the last table of the day at 4:00 pm. I didn't think it was that late. All food items for the tea were brought out at once. We had to actually ask for tea cups for our tea which was uh, odd. Our server was lovely and knew a lot of history about the hotel which we learned about at the end. But for nearly $150 for 2 people for the tea, tax and tip it seemed like a lot for the experience and ambiance. I would try some place else before going back.

    Very disappointing! They served tea from tea bags; not what I expected at high tea. The china the tea was served in was more appropriate for a weak American coffee served at a diner. Will never return.

    Wonderful Cherry Blossom afternoon tea here with my daughters. Was great to slow down, talk over tea together and nibble on their yummy treats from the tiered display plates. Hotel lobby and entrance is old and quaint, a great setting as you walk in from the busy outdoors of DC. Our server was wonderful, kind and very attention. Cookies adorably decorated for cherry blossom season. My ‘Paris’ tea (version of Earl Grey) was yummy. Scones would have liked more varied/interesting jam (a small detail). Thin sandwiches were simple & ok (have had better & more interesting ones at teas), but girls liked them. More food than we could eat. Overall, very enjoyable!

    Where to start, I came to D.C for my best friends birthday. We have done tea countless of times. I wanted it to be special so I made the reservation on her birthday. I unexpectedly got a phone call saying that my reservation needed to be canceled and moved to a different day which was a complete inconvenience because it was her birthday. The woman who called said they booked the room on the day, which was disappointing . I put it as a note that it was her birthday and it was never acknowledged. We sat down and we felt like there was no personable interaction with the staff or anyone. We chose our selection and to be honest once I saw the tier of food I was highly unimpressed. We never received a description of what was on the tier which sandwiches were what so we had to figure that out on our own. The sandwiches were mediocre the cookies felt like they were not made the only thing that was saving the entire situation was the scones that were perfectly warm. We never really checked on and we had to continuously ask for honey, sugar, and any items that would make sense. I would say that this experience was extremely mediocre it was not a special occasion for my friend who I was trying to have a wonderful moment with. We have already booked reservations to go to another teahouse in my home state because this was a complete disappointment. I would not recommend this at all especially if you’re doing some thing that has a special occasion because it did not feel special whatsoever. If I can go back and change my reservation I would’ve and I would’ve found a place that would make more sense for what they’re charging for as I feel that the prices were extremely inflated for what was presented.

    We requested a reservation for afternoon tea. There was no time listed as a cutoff. When we showed up we were told we were too later for the afternoon tea. We would have booked earlier had we known they had a 3:30 cutoff. They were out of things so there weren't a lot of options. Food was ok, service was fine.

    My partner and I went for the cherry blossom tea service, which was like $65 per person. You get served the same things as the Royal Tea and then we were told that it cost extra to get two teas (say if for example you wanted an English breakfast first and then the cherry blossom tea). It was quite the rip off for what you got in terms of snacks as well. I def will not return. I'd rather spend the extra money to have a stellar experience at the Mandarin.

    Afternoon tea was delightful. The only drawback to the visit was that we arrived a few minutes before 3 and a number of us had to wait to be seated. But that's a very minor complaint.

    Took forever for someone to take an order. Missed out on additional cocktail revenue. One guest could not drink the cocktail that they ordered. Burger was undercooked. Pork Chop was good, salmon burger was ok. Unfortunately terrible service. The only restaurant with availability that evening.

    Went this weekend with my sister and my daughter (age 12). It’s a great value for the price. Casual setting, great service, delicious scones and tea! Not as fancy or ornate as some other teas in DC but fine for what we were looking for. I’ll definitely return!

    The location was perfect for attending a performance next store at the Stage Guild Theater, the rooms were beautiful and elegant, although fairly large the setting felt cosy, and the food was good. But the place was empty from 6 to 7 pm and at about 7pm one other couple came in which was a bit depressing. Needless to say the service was excellent as the waiter had only us to take care of and he was very solicitous.

    We paid for the royal tea which upgrades you to have three mini desserts. For $48 per person it was not worth it. The tea is in a tea bag, not even loose tea. The sandwiches were subpar with mushy cucumbers and the mini fruit tart was stale. We loved the scones with clotted cream but that was about it. The service was great also, but not enough for us to come back.

    Probably one of the worst afternoon tea services I have attended in quite a while. The best part is the parlor which you sit in while having the tea. Quite nice. I enjoyed the couch I sat on but that was the highlight. The whipped cream on my berries tasted like it came out of a can of redi-whip, the chocolate truffle was mushy, and the petit foir fondant was falling off. Everything about it was basic and could have been assembled from groceries I can purchase at Walmart for a combined total of maybe $25 (which would serve at least four people). Sandwiches were basic. If this were in a cafe and a third or half the price, I wouldn’t be so disappointed. But at a hotel which seemingly aspires to be posh (with prices commensurate) I cannot recommend.
