At a modest $15 upcharge from the bottomless food price, we'd be hard-pressed to really knock this in any event, but the self-champagne service and flavor varieties make this an excellent experience independent of price

Food

3.85

We welcome any and all sushi brunches, and spending the $45 on Option B unlocks what we're fairly certain is D.C.'s only bottomless nigiri selection. (We were served 50 pieces at one time, so to be clear, this isn't an omakese situation.) But even if sushi isn't your jam, endless edamame is an inspired replacement for usual communal bar snacks, and between the pad thai and fried rice, there's enough carb-heavy comfort to keep everyone happily occupied.

Service

3.72

The lack of many other diners surely helped, but refills for both food and drinks came quickly throughout our birthday-sized group, and the time limit was enforced with a light touch.

Ambiance

2.25

The decor is contemporary and cherry blossom-forward, but the lack of functional air conditioning really kills the mood. Multiple floor fans tried their best, but when you're sweating through brunch, it's hard to appreciate the decor.

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