- KKELLIWashington, D.C. Area •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWent for a family New Year’s brunch and everything was absolutely lovely. Decided to order a la carte instead of the brunch buffet and it was a good move… we could hardly eat wht we order let alone go for seconds. Any restaurant that can satisfy a Boomer. Gen X, Gen Z and Gen ALpha to the point of being stuffed to our eyelids on a holiday is a winner in my book.More infoLincoln - DCPrice: Moderate• American• McPherson Square•4.2
