Taberna del Alabardero Review

Taberna del Alabardero

BOTTOMLESS DISCONTINUED

Downtown

1776 I St NW, Washington, DC

Drinks

The bottomless option is only a $10 add-on (to the $35 food option, don't get too excited), and there's never a wait for the next Sangria pitcher. Hope you like the Sangria, though, because they're oddly prickly about switching to the other bottomless choices.

Food

4.58

The brunch menu is limited -- four tapas and three entree choices, respectively -- and not particularly brunchy, but that fortunately limits the odds you'll make a mistake and not get the paella.

Service

2.17

Our server handled a bee situation with aplomb and considerable bug spray, but also had little hesitation shifting us toward a few hefty add-ons (we love a good Manchego, but $10 is a tad ridiculous).

Ambiance

1.48

It's considerably higher-end than our usual fare -- red velvet carpeting abounds -- resulting in an atmosphere perhaps better suited to a nice dinner.

Le DeSales Review

Le DeSales

Downtown

3.50

Le DeSales' jazz brunch ambiance is something new, although the dining area was sadly a little too empty, which made the live vocalist feel less like background ambiance and more like someone serenading your table personally.

Opal Review

Chevy Chase

4.24

With three courses and generous portions, ordering is a team sport here — one order of pancakes per table is plenty, but the sweet potato latkes are an essential sharing item, and even the oyster crackers are worth getting.

Flight Club Review

Flight Club

Mt Vernon

3.38

Flight applies the Top Golf approach to darts, letting you play an assortment of games very loosely connected to the usual format you may know and love (or hate), but in a much more tasteful, aerial-inspired backdrop.

We're like the postmen. We brunch in rain, sleet, or snow
