Taberna del Alabardero Review

Drinks

3.72

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.

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

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

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
