Drinks

1.29

We're aware we complain about this a lot, but this time it really did feel like the mimosas were straight orange juice. The bottomless package including rail drinks is a saving grace, but even we'd rather not slam gin-and-tonics at one in the afternoon.

Food

1.85

You're better off avoiding the reasonable temptation to order brunch food at brunch -- the "famous" steak and cheese is indeed very good -- lest you end up with a tiny portion of French toast you'll devour in two minutes.

Service

4.85

We closed things out with a hug, so all's well that ends well, but in the most complimentary way possible (truly, we deserve it), we've never had a sassier waiter.

Ambiance

1.25

The heated patio provides a nice view of 17th Street (and a large Christmas tree with Jill Biden's face atop it), but the straw chairs feel like toilet seats and there's really no getting around that.

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
