    The experience at Lady Camellia is impeccable. However the experience is what sells. For 2 people it’s quite expensive all considering the portions so at over $100 I don’t believe it’s worth a second visit.

    Once again Lady Camellia did not disappoint. This was the first time for my 2 guests at Lady Camellia and they were so impressed with every aspect of the delightful tea experience. The food, service and ambiance were exquisite. What a wonderful venue for special occasions and celebrations.

    This was a really great experience and such a fun event with the family. One thing to note though - if your party is 5 or more, they do not allow you to select the items you would like from the menu (instead they say they will send bestsellers). I think for the price you should be permitted to select regardless of the party size.

    I went with 2 friends and had a lovely experience here. It's a nice location overlooking the Potomac, and while it is a relatively small space, it didn't feel crowded although most of the other tables were in use. I liked that we could each select from several options for sandwiches, scones, and pastries instead of all being served the same exact items, and there was an extensive tea menu to choose from. We didn't have any trouble carrying on a conversation, although I imagine it could get noisy if there was a group celebrating a special occasion. I enjoyed everything I tried, and while the pastries were relatively small, we had to take half of them home as we had filled up on sandwiches and scones. The service was a little slow, but we were happy to take our time rather than feeling rushed. I would definitely go back. I think it is best experienced with a maximum of 4 people rather than a big group.

    Very lovely place with a great view of the water. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The pastries and teas were delicious. It was a lovely experience for a birthday. They even give a complementary birthday cupcake.
