- PPattiWashington, D.C. Area •41 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoConsistently a favorite. Best deal in town for brunch. They use fresh, high quality ingredients so a dish as simple as avocado toast shines. Highly recommended.More infoLa MalinchePrice: Moderate• Tapas / Small Plates• Silver Spring•4.7
- NNolaBaltimore / Maryland •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe were there as party of 6 to celebrate 2 birthdays - a soon-to-be 26 year old and a soon-to-be 74 year old. We had the same group at about this same time for the same celebration a few years ago so the repeat was great fun. Our waiter Eduardo was excellent - giving us good recommendations and hitting just the right tempo for checking in. The rest of the staff were great too. Quietly slipping in to whisk away dishes, fill water glasses, etc. The food, as always, was delicious and fun to experiment with a few dishes. Ending the meal with 2 fabulous desserts (with candles) for the birthday folks plus coffees and expresso shots was perfect.More infoJaleo - DCPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.7
