Tortuga Bar and Grille

Eastern Market, Capitol Hill

514 8th St SE, Washington, DC

3.01

Drinks

2.79

For $25, the bottomless menu including a single mimosa option is a bit disappointing, but fortunately the freshly made pitchers don't lack for champagne.

Food

3.30

The menu's largely an exercise in putting shrimp where chicken usually resides (who's up for some shrimp and waffles?), but who are we to turn down a brunch po boy?

Service

2.69

Although the kitchen forgot about one of our meals, our server wisely allocated a pitcher per every two people, and was quite willing to keep supplying them until we left our table, far after the allotted time.

Ambiance

3.26

The real action's apparently on the more lively second floor, but as the only attendees on the ground level, we dined comfortably by the open-air patio, festooned by just-the-right-side-of-tacky dockside decor.

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
