   We had a reservation but ended up being sat at the bar which was no big deal until we realized the bartender service was atrocious. There were 3 bartenders and only 10 people at the bar but somehow it consistently took 15 minutes to receive a drink after ordering. After 2 drinks we didn’t see our bartender for 20 minutes. We asked the other bartenders for help but they ignored us. We ended up having to talk to management who compensated our drinks (after almost accidentally charging us double). Nice ambience though.

   One of the worst experiences I’ve had. We want to give andrew props for helping us all the way. Its a 2hr bottomless brunch and drinks but no wonder there is a time. Not only will they delay the time and not bring the food on time but they will kick you out of the table for a non existent reservation. After we are left to go to the bar, we verified if the table was taken and it was not. I think they did not understand we were willing to pay for regular price and adhere to what we were entitled to. The manager on both instances said my family was not in the best circumstances which was not true. Upon speaking to him he even stated we were stumbling and even said we were not coherent which again is not true. We understand that it is to the managers discretion to administer food and beverages but we believe the manager is not fully trained or has a bias on his discretion. Be aware of this place.

   For the price of brunch it was good. The food came out hot and it was good. I’ll be back.

   Second time to Makers Union in the Wharf, and glad we gave them a second chance (shows that any place can have an off night). We were pressed for time, and our waiter made sure our courses came when we needed them. Food was excellent. Lamb chops were delicious as was the Thai She crab soup—that really was a fusion of eastern seaboard and southeast Asian flavor. Smoked old fashioned delivered with a bit of flair, poured from a glass flask holding the smoke and cocktail for some drama and infusing the drink with the smoky aroma.

   This place was a typical DC Wharf restaurant. Nice decor and a pop soundtrack. A little loud for “date night,” more of a “work outing” feel. One of us had the French Dip which was two or three thin slices of ordinary tasting prime rib and barely detectable cheese but on a HUGE toasted roll. Other had a much better value. The fried chicken sandwich with a thick think tasty breast and healthy portions of lettuce, tomato, and pickles. One had a nice large mocktail, other had a decent Italian red wine. Paid for the larger pour but it felt a little short.

   This place absolutely nails bottomless brunch! From the moment we walked in, the energy was vibrant, the staff was welcoming, and the drinks started flowing immediately. The bottomless mimosas and craft cocktails were perfectly balanced, never watered down, and our glasses were never empty. The food? Phenomenal. Every dish was cooked to perfection, from the French toast to the savory eggs Benedict. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. The service was top-tier—our server was attentive, fun, and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming, making it the perfect spot to relax and indulge with friends. If you’re looking for a brunch that delivers on amazing food, endless drinks, and top-notch service, this is the place to be. Already planning my next visit

    ★★★★★ Amazing Bottomless Brunch Experience! If you’re looking for the ultimate brunch experience, look no further! From start to finish, everything about this bottomless brunch was perfection. The drinks kept flowing—mimosas, sangria and old fashioneds, all crafted to perfection and never an empty glass in sight. The food was just as incredible! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re in the mood for classic brunch staples or something a little more creative, there’s something for everyone. The portions were generous, and the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and always making sure we had everything we needed. The vibe was lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends or celebrate a special occasion. I can’t recommend this place enough—bottomless brunch done right! Will definitely be back again soon.
