   This was our first time trying the new location. The food and location were very good. However, the service was very disappointing and it is unlikely we will be back. I know they were busy for the holidays but it was one thing after another. When we arrived for our reservation, we were told we could sit immediately at a table in the middle of the room or wait for another table. We choose to wait but were then seated at the same table in the middle of the room. Milk was not served at the same time as the tea. The tea was never refreshed with hot water. We were brought the wrong order twice. It took almost 15 minutes to receive our to-go bag.

   Continue to love Lady Camellia for all our special event needs. We went there for almost every friend's birthday; we took my husband's mother for hers yesterday. I have a gluten allergy that they accommodate beautifully, and the food and tea are, as always, exceptional. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

   They were very accommodating to my frail walker-using Mom but the place is small so it was still tricky. Nice staff but at little slow to notice it was time to order or brining hot chocolate to non tea drinker. They made hot chocolate seem like a bother — but need alternatives for tea!

   Perfect place to bring your friends! I loved the ambiance and the service was great. The staff were so welcoming and attentive and so kind! Not to mention, all of the food and tea blends are made/baked in-house and you can taste the quality in every bite! Loved it and already making plans to come back!

   This is a really cute tea room. Very pretty decor and china. The service was above average. The server was attentive to our needs. The pastries were excellent especially the warm scones served with jam and clotted cream. The tea sandwiches were good but lacked creativity. We had chicken salad (excellent) cucumber, and roast beef. The beef could have had a little more meat in the sandwich. All of the sandwiches were served on whole wheat. All sandwiches were crustless finger shapes. The tea offerings were extensive but changing from one tea to another was not an option. I would recommend giving Lady Camellia a try if you are in Old Alexandria.

   The tastiest and freshest tea sandwiches, pretty place settings, a great view of the Potomoc, very attentive service, and full pots of fresh-brewed loose tea -- not a tea bag in sight :-)! And for people who need to avoid gluten, our GF friend reports truly delicious selections -- not the typical "second class citizen" GF options. Homemade goodness on all three tiers of the tea tray! And just to compare: we've been to tea at Claridge's in London and Cafe Florian in Venice, and Lady Camellia is our hands-down favorite. Put this on your definitely must go list..!

    Really enjoyed the scones. In fact, all the food was very good.
