Ottoman Taverna Review

Drinks

2.92

The carafes do get darker as the afternoon goes on, but the starting champagne-to-OJ ratio is strong enough that it's likely a good thing for everyone.

Food

3.85

You won't come across a bad option on this all-you-can-eat menu, largely an exercise in how many different excellent ways one can enjoy beef and lamb.

Service

4.48

From arranging a 6-person outdoor table in the shade to preparing a cranberry mimosa for a citric-allergic patron, Taverna leaves no stone unturned.

Ambiance

2.70

Dining outdoors, Mt. Vernon's forest of towering apartment buildings doesn't make for the most scenic of views.

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

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
