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.

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.

PLANTA Queen Review

PLANTA Queen

West End

3.32

We are perhaps not quite the target audience for a vegan restaurant, but after shelling out close to $25 for some entrees, we couldn't help but feel they were missing a certain something

Casta's Rum Bar Review

Casta's Rum Bar

West End, Foggy Bottom

3.50

Disappointingly, the bottomless deal only covers mimosas ($25 for a make-your-own situation), so mojitos are off the table at this Cuban restaurant unless you spend $80 on a cocktail tower that purportedly serves 8.

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