[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, reporting back. Had tea at the Willard today, and it was so nice! Thanks everyone, and a big thank you to the PP who mentioned getting Christmas-time reservations. I'm looking forward to going back and seeing decorations and having seasonal treats![/quote]

Ooo, PP, tell us what was served at the tea![/quote]

You get tea sandwiches, scones, and dessert pastries served on one of those three-tiered serving plates. From what I can remember ... Sandwiches: chicken salad on brioche, cucumber on white bread, a basil/cheese/tomato tart thing, duck and onion marmalade, and maybe a couple I'm forgetting. Scones: vanilla, and an apricot rosemary, served with generous amounts of clotted cream, lemon curd, raspberry jam, and apricot jam. Dessert pastries: (these are hard to describe): banana chocolate cup thing, cherry puff with cream filling, spongy mango coconut thing, apricot basil cookie, blueberry lemon mousse on a cookie, and I'm probably forgetting a couple more. You choose your tea from an extensive menu, we ordered the Willard's signature black tea -- it was okay, not great. They also offer champagne but I'm not big on day drinking (it knocks me out) so I didn't have any. [/quote]
