Drinks

3.42

For a brunch spot, the mimosas were disappointing, but the cocktail options are aplenty and delicious, with a bourbon selection providing a rare opportunity to minimize the sugar. Be prepared to photograph them all (points for presentation), and with enough of them, you'll be left cheers-ing like Leonardo DiCaprio in, well, Gatsby.

Food

3.26

The portions are hefty, so come hungry, but don't sleep on the sides. From brisket poutine to mini pancakes, you're not short on options to customize or spruce up your choices, unless the indecision becomes too much.

Service

3.93

Our waitress wasn't afraid to (deservedly) mock our drinking pace when she was eager to bring over more cocktail options, and the spectacle of carrying the drinks up in an elevator brought the presentation to the next level (er, story?).

Ambiance

3.52

It's a Choose Your Own Adventure, with the vibe shifting quite literally depending on your seat. In one direction, you've got the full Great Gatsby experience, from charming period piece portraits to rustic literary views; in another you'll get a classier Denny's; and in one more you have good ol' Nats Park. Unfortunately you'll also enter another dimension, or at least a black hole, when you use the restroom, so bring a flashlight and plot your route.

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
