Ben's Next Door Review

Drinks

1.13

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

Food

3.35

You won't go wrong with the chicken and waffle, and items like shrimp & grits and blackened salmon make for rare brunch fare.

Service

1.28

At least the orange juice-heavy flutes are not quickly refilled, as Ben's falls in that dreaded category of brunch spot that doesn't seem particularly interested in keeping you hanging around once you're done eating.

Ambiance

1.17

Just wait 12 hours and go to the actual Ben's, next door.

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
