Drinks

4.25

The display isn't fancy -- plastic cups all around -- but with a veritable rainbow of flavor options, nearly all is forgiven.

Food

3.15

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

Service

2.79

Be prepared for a slow start, but once our purpose was amply demonstrated, bottles flowed freely, if sharply cut off at the two-hour mark.

Ambiance

4.42

Few spots offer an Instagram wall quite like 801's flower dancer, and with a prime U Street intersection, there isn't much more you can ask for.

Le DeSales Review

Le DeSales

Downtown

3.50

Le DeSales' jazz brunch ambiance is something new, although the dining area was sadly a little too empty, which made the live vocalist feel less like background ambiance and more like someone serenading your table personally.

Opal Review

Opal

Chevy Chase

4.24

With three courses and generous portions, ordering is a team sport here — one order of pancakes per table is plenty, but the sweet potato latkes are an essential sharing item, and even the oyster crackers are worth getting.

Flight Club Review

Flight Club

Mt Vernon

3.38

Flight applies the Top Golf approach to darts, letting you play an assortment of games very loosely connected to the usual format you may know and love (or hate), but in a much more tasteful, aerial-inspired backdrop.

We're like the postmen. We brunch in rain, sleet, or snow
