El Chucho Review

Drinks

4.32

The mimosa options are limited -- hibiscus and whatever exactly "tamarindo" is -- but distinctive (and, when combined with a burrito for less than $30, cheap) enough to merit a high score.

Food

3.27

We usually aren't ones to knock complimentary offerings, but you'd think a Mexican place would avoid starting things off with notably stale chips. The good news is the paid portion's much better, with a variety of burritos all served with well-crisped home fries.

Service

1.35

A single server probably shouldn't have been responsible for the entire rooftop, but when that results in nearly a half hour between mimosa service, you'd expect a little more leeway on our two-hour limit.

Ambiance

4.06

We're suckers for a nice brick wall, and the covered rooftop lets you enjoy a bit of fresh air without a full blast of DC summer.

Nero Review

Nero

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
