    The food was very mediocre and the ambience was shabby. Service was trying hard but was not great. But the noise was good; we could have a conversation.

    We had a really lovely time doing afternoon tea at Henley Park! It was pretty pricey for what we got, but you have to expect that in DC.

    Food was great. Few people there. People probably just don’t know about it.

    Afternoon tea was $75, which I wouldn't mind paying if it wasn't so mediocre and the service was so poor. The tea was pretty good, but for an expensive tea, one would think that the settings would have been nicer, would have cubed sugar, etc. We were missing plates and had to grab them from a nearby table. The scones were good, but the single tea sandwich was sad and the food overall was mediocre. The service was also not great. No one would come back to the table for very long periods of time and the man at the front door was rude. The hotel itself was just not nice, has a run-down feel. I love nice, historic places, but this place feels sketchy.

    We were there for the Cherry Blossom Tea Service, way over priced for hardly any food and poor quality. It is billed as Cherry Blossom Tea Service but there is no decor or details for the experience. Would not recommend, do not waste your money.
