Service was excellent and attentive, even though they were so busy. The menu was slightly different from what I recall it used to be, as they didn't have the sea bass entrée anymore, but they definitely had many amazing and appetizing options.

But I had a good experience, ranging from welcoming service to the splendid setting to some quality food. Other reviewers are correct in pointing out that the portion size for the price is not much, but I was satisfied with the overall experience. My dish included some proper Thai eggplants (they're small and green) plus some other vegetables and tofu sautéed to perfect crispness, with a slow burn kind of heat. The curry puffs I got were small and I ended up needing to eat both of them to feel full, but the relish they came with was quite pleasant. A Thai iced tea was a richly flavored way to wash things down. I found the ambiance charming; the parking lot is a bit separate and you have to park and walk up some stairs to get in. There was some outdoor seating as well, and we are just getting to the season where it's probably a good time to take advantage of it.

I have to be honest that we were both a little apprehensive about dinner- we weren't overly excited by any of the menu options. We had absolutely nothing to worry about. The pave of young chicken was the best chicken I've ever had- I honestly did not know chicken could be this tender and flavorful. We also really enjoyed the Caesar, which the kitchen kindly split onto two plates for us- you could tell this was made with local, high-quality ingredients. There was an excellent bread service (I just love a bread service) and I really enjoyed my cocktail- I can't remember what was in it, but I believe it was called Let's Tart It Over and it tasted like Fruity Pebbles! Sunday brunch was maybe even better than dinner. They have a really smart way of serving brunch family-style in two courses. You start with another (excellent!) bread/pastry service and then the first course is an absolutely incredible salad, fresh fruit with mint, and two mini avocado toasts with Brussels sprouts (which were unique, but the only thing we didn't love). The second course was an assortment of breakfast meats, scrambled eggs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch pancakes, and pear French toast. The eggs weren't amazing, but every single other thing was- the chicken sausage in particular was so fresh and delicious. And there's a whole table of desserts to choose from to end your meal! It's a good amount of food, but you're welcome to box up leftovers. I have to give a shoutout to Mohamed, our incredible server who we were lucky enough to have for both meals. He was kind, attentive, and had excellent recommendations. We were celebrating a birthday and he is one of the only servers I've ever had who truly made a birthday feel special and memorable, paying special attention to our table and bringing my mother sweet treats and bubbles to celebrate. It truly made our night and morning! Thank you, Mohamed!

I'll be reviewing each hotel, along with their spas, restaurants and experiences. While I'll share individual reviews, I'll also include some comparisons between them. This review covers our first stop on day one high tea at Harriman's at the Salamander in Middleburg. On that Saturday, we flew into Dulles and drove straight to Salamander Middleburg just to experience their high tea, even though we weren't staying there that evening (we returned four days later). We were not disappointed. The entire high tea experience was lovely. We arrived a few minutes early and waited outside until our reservation time. The staff made it clear they couldn't seat us early, which I completely understood, as they had strict time slots for each seating. Once seated, we were brought stools for our purses and given a tea menu featuring a wide variety of tempting options, some of which were seasonal. The menu also listed the items that would be served on the traditional tea tower. Like most afternoon teas, substitutions weren't allowed, much to my mom's disappointment. The table was beautifully set and the room was well lit and featured large windows overlooking the beautiful grounds. They first brought water, followed by a plate of perfectly sliced lemons, limes, and cucumbers to add to our glasses. We were also served us a refreshing sparkling rosé. As a vegan, I was given my own version of the tower, presented beautifully on plates. Everything, both on my vegan plates and my mom's traditional tower, was delicious. My mom's highlight was the scones, which she declared were the best she's ever had. My favorites were the fruit jellies, dark chocolate bark, broccoli tart, and the toasted rice topped with carrot- honestly, everything I ate was a standout. The service was excellent and attentive, and the tea was delicious. I started with the Pear Tree blend and finished with the Chai. Both were wonderful and, I believe, part of the seasonal offerings. The pear tea was light yet flavorful, while the chai was rich and perfectly spiced. My favorite high tea experience is still The Peninsula in Chicago, but Harriman's is a very close second.

The deviled eggs were good but not quite worth $12. I didn't taste any wasabi which was disappointing. The margarita pizza was great! I would definitely get this again. Simple but delicious. The dough itself was really good and we enjoyed the thinness of the crust. It also came out piping hot. The winery itself is very pretty with a lot of outdoor seating. It ended up raining when we were there which was no issue since there's also some seating indoors.
