- AAyaWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe restaurant is within the historic hotel. It is a hidden jem in the meddle of the city. Excellent ambient and very quiet. We had afternoon tea and are very satisfied. Comparing to afternoon tea at more well known hotels, the price is much more reasonable. I would love to go back again when I want a special treat.More infoThe Tavern at the Henley Park$$$$• American• Downtown•4.4

- AAniqahWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 20, 2026We went to celebrate my nieces' birthdays and the service was exceptional. We really appreciated the extra care that Methu took of the girls with the most thoughtful gesture of requesting the Harpist to kindly play happy birthday as he brought a complimentary dessert for them. The ambience, food and the thoughtful gesture made it an extra special experience for my nieces - who were not only touched by the whole experience but went home to tell their parents that they "had the best burger in their lives". A huge thank you to Methu and the entire Peacock Alley team for giving us the best experience.More infoPeacock Alley - Waldorf Astoria DC$$$$• American• Washington•4.4
