El Chucho Review

Drinks

4.32

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

Food

3.27

We usually aren't ones to knock complimentary offerings, but you'd think a Mexican place would avoid starting things off with notably stale chips. The good news is the paid portion's much better, with a variety of burritos all served with well-crisped home fries.

Service

1.35

A single server probably shouldn't have been responsible for the entire rooftop, but when that results in nearly a half hour between mimosa service, you'd expect a little more leeway on our two-hour limit.

Ambiance

4.06

We're suckers for a nice brick wall, and the covered rooftop lets you enjoy a bit of fresh air without a full blast of DC summer.

Balos Estiatorio Review

Balos Estiatorio

Dupont Circle

3.37

The bellinis and mimosas have a respectably small tinge, and we appreciate the straight champagne option, but it's really the espresso martinis — six different options, freshly made at a cart wheeled over to your table — that salvage the price.

Han Palace Review

Han Palace

Georgetown

3.11

Han Palace offers a full dim-sum experience; we found Option A quite filling at $38 a person, but if you're feeling particularly extravagant, you can upgrade to Option B and get Peking Duck for brunch.

Baby Shank Review

Baby Shank

U Street

2.94

It's a good thing the $30 bottomless deal comes with the freedom to pour your own champagne and multiple flavors, because we're 99 percent sure the "orange juice" was SunnyD.

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