Everyone told me this was one of the best brunches in DC. We are talking breakfast food and fried chicken good. The kind of meal that will stick to your bones and provide you with nurishment for days. The meal was good, it was overwhelming, it was solid.
When we arrived I think J Crew must have had a trunk sale becuase every women had on a pretty summer dress. So you had all the fascinating smells of food, especially the bacon coupled with beautiful people. It was sensory overload.
The meal started with cocktails, a bloody was made in order. Bloody's in DC are pretty tame this drink came with a huge shrimp attached to it and the rim of the cup was dusted in old bay. Personally I like my bloody's with fresh horseradish and so much worcester sauce that makes your mouth sting. The drink here for $10 bucks was watery with some spice. But really who needs a cocktail when the brunch buffet was all you need.
To start, the service was great. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgable. The various drinks were never empty, he cleared dishes rapidly and he never once pushed us. I would go back strictly because of the service.
The bruch buffet: carved turkey, carved roast beef, and ham; eggs benedict, french toast. cripsy bacon, sausage, grits, fruit galore, potato salad; ceaser salad, and a mixed green and corn salad; biscuits; omelet station; chocolate fountain with marshmallows, pineapples, bicotiie, gram crakers, strawberries, rice crispy treats; rasaberry triffle, cinnamon bunt cake, lemon bars, cake, mixed berry crumble. Buffet food is always hit or miss, but when is food for the masses any good? I love grits, creamy with a little butter and cripsy bacon, damn i could have had that all day. The french toast was too dry and you had to literally dunk it in the maple syrup to get it moist. the biscuits were a little dry but yummy, the sausage was excellent, the eggs benedict were good, the salads were super yummy. I cant really rate the desserts because by the time i had it i was more or less forcing it down. I'm lying the bunt cake ruled.
For my main course I had the Fried Chicken: I dont rate this because it is actually a gift from God. Fried chicken is the best thing ever. You will bless yourself when you eat it.
For you loyal readers the coffee was exceptional!
I would go back again and again mainly for the grits and bacon.
They also had live jazz playing for a long time it was Ella Fitzgerald doing the Cole Porter collection. It really added to great ambiance and the great home cooking. Enjoy!
DC Scale: Suspension bill- Everyone loves this place.
