Drinks

4.15

You can choose among five flavors — peach, cranberry, grapefruit and pineapple complement the usual orange — and with the champagne and juices served separately, your mimosas are as strong (or weak) as you like.

Food

4.08

Depending on your hunger and/or proximity to a fridge to deposit leftovers, the $35 food bundle's a great deal, and even barring that, finishing a sub-$20 pizza's a challenge, too.

Service

3.76

Our server handled our questions about Matchbox's various bundle options with aplomb, and was graciously willing to continue the juice portion of mimosa service for a compatriot who'd reached their limit on champagne.

Ambiance

2.45

Penn Quarter views are always a bit limited by the size of the neighboring buildings, but the cozy patio at least opens out upon an entertaining people-watching segment of E Street, and you can always head inside for a more industrial, if unremarkable, vibe.

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
