The dining room has a cozy, bright feel, which couldn't be more opposite from whatever's going on in the basement.

Most brunch items can be combined with the bottomless offerings for $26, which is about as competitive a deal as you'll find, but are accordingly unremarkable.

We're aware we complain about this a lot, but this time it really did feel like the mimosas were straight orange juice.

The tapas menu is delightful, with oysters and shrimp making for a much more exciting appetizer than usual and enough mini-desserts to kill off any last worries you aren't full

The complimentary chips might've been the most memorable part, which is never a great sign. At least it's cheap!

Only classic OJ's on offer, but large glasses are always an excellent way to keep the buzz going.

As its name implies, a restaurant called Carving Room is fundamentally a sandwich place -- you can't go wrong with the pastrami options

There's no filler on the bottomless food menu -- even sides like the grilled street corn are presented with care -- even if it may lean seafood-heavy for some.

The perfect weather might be inflating our rating of their patio, but even if you're stuck inside, the fish-lined walls are a nice touch.

The classic OJ is light enough on the champagne to be part of a complete breakfast

The vaunted "mimosa bar," replete with flavors like rose and lavender and accoutrements like berries and mint leaves, alone makes ala well-worth a visit.

Our waiter told us he "wasn't done with us yet" and brought us another mimosa carafe when we asked for the check, which just about sums up our experience.

Doi Moi puts an innovative spin on some traditional brunch items and you can always just order a big bowl of noodles if your heart desires.

The mimosa options are limited but distinctive (and, when combined with a burrito for less than $30, cheap) enough to merit a high score.

It's not every day you can have gnocchi for brunch, and like any good Italian restaurant the bread is on-point

For how artful the interior is, the vibe is remarkably staid, and the formulaic feel isn't helped by the dedication to that 90-minute limit.

All your traditional brunch offerings are here and they're eggscellent, but there's no way an a la carte crabcake eggs benedict should cost $25

With three flavors, including an innovative guava, you won't be bored, and at $35 for drinks and both an appetizer and a main course, you won't be bankrupt, either.

It's a DIY situation, which works well when the supplies are replenished as quickly as they are here

A lack of variety is easily forgiven when mimosas are served a milk jug at a time -- per person

Despite the menu's proclamation that "it's a marathon, not a sprint," the number of 22-year-olds pounding Bud Lights seems to have convinced servers that most patrons see things differently.

The menu is nicely balanced between breakfast and lunch options, all of which are basically complimentary to the tremendous number of tater tots

Don't be fooled by a slow start, our server picked up quickly on the need to bring two champagne bottles at a time

The array of brunch options are a great value, with Mexican twists on some brunch classics leaving no one hungry or dissatisfied.

For sitting at an outdoor table far from the entrance, we rarely faced the affront of an empty pitcher

The multiple menus are daunting at first, but worth sifting through for a smorgasbord of excellent breakfast fare.

Including steins of German beer in the bottomless package is a nice touch

Our server handled a bee situation with aplomb and considerable bug spray

At a certain point, you'd be well-advised to stop trying to manage the chaos dish-by-dish and just let the Ambar Experience wash over you.

Florida Avenue's good for a siren every half hour or so, which keeps you on your toes

Top-tier brunch classics like steak and eggs and crab cake benedicts make this a solid, if unspectacular, locale.

Alta Strada is the first restaurant to ever bring out bug spray for our table.

You won't come across a bad option on this all-you-can-eat menu, largely an exercise in how many different excellent ways one can enjoy beef and lamb.

Don't expect a walk-in, or even a noon table, but the atmosphere and the challenge of an all-you-can-eat menu results in a pleasantly frenetic experience

While the regular fare is unspectacular, if brunch-y, the basket of biscuits picks up the slack.

Poured with flourish, and for well beyond two hours.

Classic orange is what you're getting, but at the champagne-to-OJ ratio and speed of service (you're always on your first glass if it's never empty!), you'd be a fool to want any variety.

The flavor choices are among the best you'll encounter; take the week off from orange and enjoy blackberry, strawberry, or whatever special syrup's on offer

A full-service Italian restaurant, complete with aggressive baskets of free bread

The two-hour limit serves more as a warning for personal consumption than a restriction Tyber even pretends to adhere to.

Our mimosa glasses were never empty, which will go a ways toward looking past a rather charm-free attitude.

There's no option that won't leave you feeling a little defeated, but what else are you at a sausage restaurant for, anyway?

$23 may seem like a steep price to pay for bottomless mimosas, but that's before you realize they're served in a French press.

Sangria's not only on offer, but served as wine over a giant, fruit-infused ice cube

A table overlooking the intersection of U and 11th provides an unparalleled people-watching experience.

Only the most basic orange option is on offer, and at a very unfavourable juice-to-champagne ratio, to boot.

The bottomless options feels tacked on as an afterthought

Drinks are refilled with speed and good cheer
