Tortuga Bar and Grille

CLOSED

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.

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
