Arnold​のブランチが楽しめるベストレストラン

Beautiful place. A classic and full of history. Food is simple but perfectly made and delicious.

If you are looking for an afternoon tea with white table cloths, beautiful place settings, and white table cloth service, the Willard is for you. Peacock Alley at the Willard has my favorite afternoon tea in the DC area. It is upscale without being pretentious. For the 2024 Holiday Season, it became a Winter Wonderland. It is not just the decor that attracted us. but we also came for the tea and the food. The gingerbread tea and the finger sandwiches were delicious. The scones were tasty, and the desserts did not disappoint. If you like champagne, they have that, too. When you make your reservation, let them know if you have a food allergy or intolerance. They are very good at preparing delectable pieces that meet your special needs. I never know what to wear to these teas, but at the Willard you can pretty much wear what you like. Even so, I didn't see any jeans or jogging attire, and a lot of the men at least wore sports or suit jackets. During this time of year, it's popular so be prepared for long waits as the valet (or parking garage attendent) retrieves your car. But it's worth it. Use the downstairs restrooms. They aren't crowded like the main level bathrooms.

Such a lovely tea with amazing service. The food was very very good. One person in our party had a gluten free tea and it was equally as good. Thank you for a lovely day!

We had a wonderful time at Christmas Brunch. The staff was so welcoming and attentive. We really enjoyed all of the food selections. Thank you for a lovely Christmas.

During the winter months when the front door opens it travels through the front dining area. Cold air rushes in. Quite a few people needed to wear jackets including myself. It would be a great improvement to fix this issue.
