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.

Nero Review

Nero

Dupont Circle

1.51

Nero might be a lovely wine bar, with self-dispensing wine machines that certainly piqued our interest, but we wonder if they forgot they're also a restaurant.

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.

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