Tea Restaurants near Washington, DC

“Came for high tea today with family - I notified the staff several weeks in advance that I'm vegan and one of my siblings is gluten free, and that we both have specific and severe allergies.
I was very anxious about dining here because I had to be hospitalized after having afternoon tea at another (and completely unrelated) place earlier this year.
They assured me on the phone, and again when we were seated, that they were aware of our allergies and dietary restrictions and everything would be taken care of. But when our food came out, the items we were allergic to were on our plates! Our waiter, Deepak, was extremely apologetic and quickly took care of it.
At the end of our meal, he told us he had talked to the manager and had ALL of our meals comped because of the mixup - something we did not at all expect and tried to protest! It was incredibly generous and kind, and even this aside, he was an attentive and excellent waiter.
I would come back again for the quality of service alone (and the vegan scones melt in your mouth!).“

“This place is a gem! I had the Samsa and the fried lamb shank. The fried lamb shank was one of the best dishes that I’ve had during my visit to dc. The meat was tender and it combined with the veggies were perfectly seasoned. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is laid back. The restaurant is on the second level and has good views of Wisconsin street.“
