Drinks

With self-assembly, the ratio's never an issue, and for $17, the singular orange juice option is just fine.

Pro-tip -- if you're going to market something as "Diablo sauce," it shouldn't just be marinara with a green fleck or two. At least the breakfast potatoes are top-notch.

Service

3.95

The bottles came fast and, just as importantly, our server confirmed the whole "Diablo sauce" concept was bullshit.

Ambiance

1.51

Florida Avenue's good for a siren every half hour or so, which keeps you on your toes; as for Shaw's Tavern itself? Well, it's definitely a bar.

Nero Review

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
