Shaw's Tavern Review
Shaw's Tavern Review

Drinks

3.27

With self-assembly, the ratio's never an issue, and for $17, the singular orange juice option is just fine.

Food

1.49

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

3.95

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

Ambiance

1.51

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.

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

Opal

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
