Cornerstone

Cornerstone in Midtown
Tied for #12 place out of 18.  This place was ok. We appreciated that the brunch went into the afternoon and therefore a great place if no one can wake up before Noon.  The place was not packed so a big party can easily come in after Noon.  However, the food (especially compared to all the other places we have tried) was a basic "diner" style fare.

Reservations

Reservations can be made for 6 or more.  But as I mentioned above, after noon reservations are not needed.

Other Bottomless Drinks

None.  

Outdoor Seating

Yes, but limited.

Food Issues

None.  However the food was really basic and the hollandaise (i asked for on the side to try it) tasted like chicken soup...ick.

Food Variety

rated 5 out of 10.  Diner fare with some mildly interesting specials. Lunch was served too.

Availability of Car Parking

rated 8 out of 10.  Parking is pretty easy in this area.

Mimosa kept full

rated 10 out of 10.  Each glass came with its own pitcher of mimosas.  Leads to one of our favorite saying/circumstances, if your glass is empty it is your own fault! ;)

Atmosphere

rated 7 out of 10.

Golden Bear

Golden Bear in Midtown
Rated #12 out of 18.  We loved this place, but as our scores stack up...the places that don't allow reservations have a hard time competing.

Reservations

No reservations.:(  A couple of us when early so we can sit and take over tables as they became available.  Once we did show up they did make an effort to keep two tables (next to each other) vacant until we all had seats.

Other Bottomless Drinks

None.  

Outdoor Seating

Yes, nice patio on K Street.

Food Issues

None.

Food Variety

rated 7 out of 10.  The food was very filling, great variety with some creative touches. The breakfast nachos (see picture above) were quite yummy.

Availability of Car Parking

rated 7 out of 10.  K Street can be a challenge but there usually is a spot within two blocks on either side.
