HalfSmoke Review

Drinks

Leaving a champagne flute unfinished is typically verboten, but these mimosas are so sugary it became accepted practice, at least for a weekend. You can mix and match flavors, which at least makes for a nice picture.

There's no option that won't leave you feeling a little defeated, but what else are you at a sausage restaurant for, anyway?

Service

2.03

Sitting outside carries a strong risk of being forgotten, though when they remember they'll at least apologetically bring out carafes of mimosas.

As far as we're aware, this is the only brunch spot to hand you menus in Five Star binders or place your checks in Disney VHS cases, so that's a thing.

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

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.

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
