The Fainting Goat Review

Drinks

3.65

Three different mimosa flavors are on offer, though the champagne levels are high enough that you're largely just picking a color. Alcoholic juice pouches are also available, if you've always wanted to spend 14 hard-earned dollars on a spiked Capri Sun.

Food

1.35

Fainting Goat makes the unusual choice of accentuating its small portions by serving them on large plates -- negative space is better suited to art than food, as a general rule. Even within the small portions, the protein is even smaller. If all-bread sandwich bites are your thing, this is the place for you

Service

Our mimosa glasses were never empty, which will go a ways toward looking past a rather charm-free attitude. Unfortunately, that speed drops to zero the moment your table hits its two-hour limit.

Ambiance

3.72

Reservations are basically required, which dampens the walk-in spirit, but the packed house and the modern feel of the brick-laden interior fosters a lively experience.

Balos Estiatorio Review

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

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

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
