Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Willard Peacock Alley Tea offers a "beautiful and elegant" setting in a historic hotel, complemented by soothing harp music. Guests commend the "attentive service" and "delicious" selection of teas and scones. However, some find it "overpriced" for the portion sizes and mention distractions from foot traffic in the venue.

    More savory items should be served like tea sandwiches. Food was good but much more sweet items than savory. What you get is not worth the $90 price point.

    High tea at Peacock Alley is always a joy. The setting beautiful and the food and teas SPECTACULAR! Everything the Willard does goes above and beyond. The canapés are handcrafted I'm sure. This particular time, we hosted family who hadn't experienced high tea before. They were very impressed and will be talking about this experience for some time to come. I cannot recommend Paecoxk Alley highly enough!

    We went there to celebrate my daughter‘s 18th birthday. I requested to sit a couch with two chairs and they seated us next to the harpist. I sat at the exact same spot when I was there for the Christmas tea in December. Anyway, they brought out a cupcake for her, and the harpist played happy birthday and it was magical . I brought my niece and sister-in-law along as well and we all had a lovely time.

    Service was absolutely fantastic. Could not have received better service. Just over the top great. Food was very good. Couple of items were a miss but overall great. Was seated right across from the harp which made hearing the waiters a bit difficult but the music was lovely. Will definitely return.

    We went all out - the champagne, the silver needle tea. Nothing disappointed. The finger sandwiches were especially creative and packed with a variety of flavors. Everything went perfectly.
