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

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

Ambiance

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.

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.

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
