    Today, I decided to break quarantine to have a teddy bear tea with with my son. We had a reservation for 12p.m. and were very excited for the occasion. We both dressed up and packed an assortment of stuffed animals to take with us. When we arrived, the dining room had about three active tables but I didn't see any staff. I waited a few minutes and then caught a bell hop to assist me. He walked around and then back to the kitchen to find someone who was working the dining room. Eventually, a hostess seated us. However, even though the dining room was almost completely empty, she sat us right next to a table of women camped out in their virtual office. The magical vision I had for this occasion (based on the advertising images online) began fading fast, but I wasn't prepared for just how abisymal this experience would be. Once seated, my son was given a plate with two sandwiches, a grocery store cookie, and a tiny grocery store type cupcake. The one sandwich was a lunch meat and processed american cheese sandwich on white bread cut into a triangle. The other was a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich on white bread cut into a star. He was given two dalopps of something I couldn't understand, but nothing to spread them on. I was given a pot of tea that was unstrained and full of loose leaf tea that came pouring into my cup. When a waiter appeared after 10-15 minutes, I asked what the dalopps were to be spread on and they went back to the kitchen to return with a scone. I tried asking another what the dalopps were and in the middle of answering my question, the phone rang and the hostess decided answering the phone was more important than completing her answer to me. She never returned to explain the red dalopps. After seeing the rather disgusting spread my son was given, I switched my order to lunch and had salmon. As we waited for the salmon to arrive (40 minutes into our tea), my son began standing up and moving around. The hostess asked if he wanted to watch television. No, we are supposed to be having a tea party! Although, I feel like I'm on a working lunch giving the noise behind us. Before we were about to leave, a party of two ladies was sat in reserved seating by the fire and given a beautiful stand of cakes and sandwiches. My son asked why their food was so pretty. When the waiter returned with our check he asked him the same thing. His reply, "because your mother ordered the teddy bear tea. "

    I had a very enjoyable Afternoon Tea Experience at Fyve Restaurant and Lounge located at the Exquisite Ritz-Carlton Hotel. I went for the Afternoon Tea package and I really love the portion and the tea selections. The grand jasmin chun Feng green tea is absolutely divine!!! And my favorite from the selection of tea sandwiches is the salmon mousse with caviar sandwich. My waiter, Elizabeth was very knowledgeable about the menu and patient. Very Impressive!!! Great atmosphere that I felt like spending the whole day there. Lol First time here and I shall definitely return. I highly RECOMMEND. Revisit: 10/8/21 I had a very enjoyable birthday dinner celebration with my girlfriends. Every meal we ordered was in good taste!!! I want to say a big thank you for the complimentary birthday dessert. And I must say I had the most delicious breakfast ever!!! They have the most delicious and fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever had!!! I Highly recommend and would definitely revisit. Gorgeous Ambiance ✅ Very Friendly And Courteous Staff✅ Impeccable Service ✅ Complimentary Valet Parking✅ ♿️Wheelchair Accessible Entrance✅ 🚻Restroom

    Breakfast at Fyve was very good. The service needed some improvement but all in all it worked out. I had to re-request hot toast and everything came out right. I also had to re-request hot coffee something you should not have to do in a restaurant but I did. Subsequent mornings were without a hitch.

    Very quaint place for memorable moments. Since I'm a frequent patron the customer service, food and ambience are all outstanding. Breakfast, High Tea & Dinner all enjoyed. Delicious Food and Prompt Customer Service.

    Fantastic meal! Fyve is the type of quality restaurant that will bring you back time after time. I started with a Manhattan- superb! That was quickly followed by an Onion Soup which was a meal in itself. Finished up with Shrimp & Grits - excellent again. Definitely worth the visit.

    It wasn't exactly the look I had imagined when I thought of a restaurant inside the Ritz Carlton. It was much smaller than I expected but to be fair a large seating area was closed off due to the time of day. What space was open was actually lovely. Comfortable chairs around wood tables, a grand fireplace enclosed by big beautiful couches. The staff was very kind, took my order, answered my questions about alternatives, and checked on me during my time there just the right amount of times (not once while I had just stuffed my face with food). After devouring a beautifuly made wedge salad that was actually 3 small wedges instead of the enormous halved lettuce heads one normally sees, I ordered a glass of guiness stout to wash down the day and to accompany my double fudge chocolate cake. Absolutely delicious, very good. Will return to try other menu options.

    We decided to have our 6th anniversary dinner at the Fyve restaurant and lounge located inside the Pentagon City Ritz Carlton. We called ahead and Dewayne Wright from Concerige Services was able to prepare an amazing evening for us. He, the Head Chef, and staff took amazing care of us. The food and service was exceptional. We could not asked for more. I highly recommend to have your next special evening or dinner at the Fyve.

    I reserved high tea with my wife and it was ok, nothing special. I've had it in London, which was of a higher quality and a better bang for your buck. Here, you only get one choice of tea and the finger sandwiches and desserts weren't memorable. I'll say the scone was the standout, as well as the cream puff. I haven't had it at the Cathedral or anywhere else in the D.C. area, but I would pass on this spot. I gave it 3 stars though because the staff were super-nice and the service wasn't bad.

    Went for Afternoon High Tea and the experience was divine. Highly recommend the jasmine tea it smells and taste amazing. The small pastries and savory treats were so adorable and even tasted better. The Indian curry and pesto tomato were my fav. The only criticism is how small the pots of tea are.. the prices are steep (it is the ritz so it’s kind of expected) but at least the pots could be 3 cups worth. Overall a great experience to have once.

    An absolutely amazing place for afternoon tea. I just moved to Virginia, and this is officially one of my favourite spot for meeting your girlfriends, or celebrating a small occasion. I made a reservation on Open Table but I accidentally booked a day later than intended. We parked at Fashion Centre, Pentagon City garage and walked. Their entrance from Pentagon City mall is closed, so you have to walk around, outside to their main entrance. They do have a valet. When we got there, the staff very kindly accommodated me and my date. They were very professional and friendly plus the food was great. I know from the picture it doesn't look like a lot, but trust me, with tea, sandwiches, cakes and scones, omg, you'd be so full. If you're visiting Arlington or have lived here for years, I do recommend coming here at least once!
