“Outstanding brunch!! Get the Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary. Both are world class. Swap the hash brown potatoes for another choice.

White table clothes. Very nice.

This is your TO DIE FOR brunch option in Old Town.“

“Wonderful food and experience“

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“Exquisite food and drink!“

“Such a superb dining experience. I was solo so sat at bar and my waiter went above and beyond with exceptional wine and food knowledge and service. The food was subtle, creative and beautifully balanced. Everything just worked. I find US restaurants rarely have ambiance but Tail Up had great lighting even if dining room was fine but unremarkable. It was a brilliant experience of a brilliant kitchen, sommelier and serving team. Thanks for a DC highlight“

“Minibar went above and beyond our expectations. Due to health issues, we cannot drink alcohol and they curated special nonalcoholic drinks that paired perfectly with the exceptionally creative food!“

“Best hotel! Beautiful place and tremendously gracious staff!“

“Chef Ernesto has curated an amazing vegan Sunday brunch served family style for an intimate, luxurious dining experience. This is not a meal to rush through, but rather linger over and enjoy the time there with friends or family. The spacious, classic yet modern restaurant has different sections for various sized dining parties, including areas for larger or private groups. The attentive service and friendliness of the staff made for a great group experience. We can't wait to go back!“

“Food was excellent. I love the salmon, avocado mango dish, cappuccino was great and the server Bill was very attentive. This was a retirement luncheon that I had with my wife and daughter and my supervisor joined us. The experience was absolutely fantastic.“

“This place is perfect. The food is 10 out of ten. We got the butter chicken and lamb chops and both are very good and their garlic naan is so good as well. The vibes and the atmosphere is a different level, the lights and the decorations are outstanding. And the staff are amazing, very friendly, and very helpful. Overall, I admired this place!!“

“We celebrated our 12th year wedding anniversary here, and it was the most amazing dinner. The atmosphere, the attention to detail, and the diligence of the staff (especially Michael and Devon). We laughed all night long. We also had the honor of meeting the humble Chef Danny Lledó, who curated the AMAZING 10-course meal and wine pairing. Can we talk about how delicious the food is? The BEST ever. We ended the evening with Paulina in the mezzanine. Perfect finish. We cannot thank the chef and staff enough. We will not forget this experience. We can’t wait to come back.“

“It’s awesome. Just go. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Great dining experience! Great service and food! 5 ⭐️s!“

“Excellent food and great service!“

“Heard this place was great for Sunday brunch. Made a reservation and was so pleased with the ambience when seated; when looking over the menu, we felt certain we had been handed the wrong one because it was 11am and there were no brunch items to be found! But sadly, there is only this one menu regardless of day or timing. Very disappointing!! We pieced together some soup and appetizers as a “brunch” meal; the food was very good and our waitress very kind. However, we did send our comments to the chef expressing dismay that a brunch spot offered zero menu items that were even close to being considered brunch options!“

“The foie gras was excellent, the scallops were succulent, the lobster bisque was excellent, the Chilean sea bass was mouthwatering and the steak was superb! LK and our entire wait staff provided tier 1 service! Exceptional! How can I forget the craft cocktails…thoroughly enjoyed The Mistletoe!“

“Really nice place to eat. Ambience was ideal, I don't know how I feel about patrons dressed in shirts and sandals though. Food was excellent except that our food was barely even lukewarm. So it most have been sitting for awhile. The crispy duck was delicious, my wife had the surf and turf (lobster tail and filet mignon) it was decent. The sauce on the lobster was a little off putting. Our waitress provided us with superior service, unfortunately her name slips my mind I think Nikki maybe.... We went for our anniversary but I do believe we shall be going again.“
