Drinks

2.56

We'd be negligent brunch reviewers if we didn't pay an extra $6 for the upgraded bottomless package, but while we appreciate the panoply of options (margaritas, sangrias, non-orange mimosas), none are terribly memorable.

Food

2.53

The tapas style leads you down some fun paths you're unlikely to expore otherwise (rotini mac and cheese, churros!), but the menu's a little too blatantly executing the let's-fill-them-up-on-carbs strategy to really enjoy.

Service

3.86

Our lovely server handled our myriad of drink requests with aplomb, and even snuck us a few extra plates after a quickly enforced hour-and-a-half timer.

Ambiance

2.22

For how artful the interior is, the vibe is remarkably staid, and the formulaic feel isn't helped by the dedication to that 90-minute limit.

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
