    Breakfast Burrito
    Anne-Olive N.

    Nice, easy place right of Farragut North metro to get breakfast. Small interior with some seating outside. I got the breakfast burrito w/ sausage and I was full all day - didn't even need to eat lunch. Friendly staff and pretty quick service. Probably gets busy later in the morning and no call ahead service but I got my food in 15 mins.

    Breakfast sandwich with hash browns
    Nina Z.

    Pretty good. This was recommended by a hotel staff member and a block or two from our hotel. Some outdoor seating available, but it's more of a grab-n-go kind of place. Had the croissant sandwich with sausage, hash browns, and eggs. I wish every breakfast croissant came with hash browns. So good! You can also get a breakfast burrito or breakfast platter for a reasonable price. Definitely a great rec!

    12.00 for 4 bites of hash, a niblet of breakfast potatoes and 2 eggs with toast. Definitely not worth the money

    Small place for overpriced food. Value, flavor and substance were all missing at this place. I understand that everyone is trying to make a living but dont cheap out on portion size qhwn you're charging full price.

    #2 BREAKFAST Platter.   $10.99
    Candice F.

    We stumbled upon this place right outside our hotel -- $10.99 for 2 eggs, corned beef hash, potatoes and 2 slices of toast. Can't beat that! Same price for a western omlette with ham, onions, and bell peppers, potatoes and 2 slices of toast. So good that we came two days in a row, and it would have been more, except they aren't open on Sundays! The space is small with only 5 bar stools, but there is outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The owner Al has been here for 35 years and offers great quick service with a smile! We wish his business well but also wishes that he reaches his retirement goal soon!

    Two eggs with sausage
    Rob K.

    I was staying nearby and I wanted a quick, hearty breakfast. Sunrise Cafe certainly fit the bill. The woman working the register was extremely friendly. I had two eggs over medium, potatoes, and sausage. Everything was very tasty. Breakfast with a bottle of water was around $12.00. There is seating inside/outside. This isn't fancy, but if you are looking for a quick meal and a reasonable price, this is a solid option. I would return.

    2 Eggs with French Toast + bacon
    Bradley W.

    It's is great food at a good price. Service was fast and friendly. It's a tinny cafe but does have outdoor seating. Inside there is a single bar along the window facing the street. I got the French toast and it was good. 3 plates and 2 drinks came to around 40 dollars.

The service is as one would expect of any upscale restaurant; responsive, attentive and courteous. The menu offered a variety of dishes that would satisfy, dare I say, any and all types of diets.

For desert we ordered greek yogurt with apricot and it was probably the best thing we tried here. The ambience is classy and they have ample of seating space. The overall meal didn't cost us as much as I thought it was, the prices were fairly reasonable!

The establishment is spacious, with plenty of seating, and I really loved the decor. The food was absolutely delicious, although I wasn't very familiar with traditional Romani cuisine.

My only complaint is that a lot of the other menu items didn't come with sides, and they didn't really offer an à la carte option to add something to complete my brunch. So, just keep that in mind when ordering. I honestly cannot remember the name of the drink I ordered, but it was so good that I got it twice! LOL. If you're in the area, most definitely check them out. The bathrooms were also nice and clean, and our waiter was excellent! Overall, we had a really good experience and I'd definitely come back.

There is a parking garage around the corner of the restaurant so that makes things very convenient. The inside decor is gorgeous and is chic but also funky fresh.

The serving size of the dishes I ordered were medium to small. The service was far less satisfactory than food. I tried the following dishes: 1. Complimentary pita: ~40g per piece. Not salty and paired well with the other dishes. Definitely get some! 2. Lahmacun: The lamb+beef mixture was tasty. It came with 4 pieces. 3. Branzino: ~6oz. The fish was grilled to perfection; juciy tender, and the skin was nicely charred. It was served with freh parsley and seasoned grilled tomato (salt+oregano I think). 4. Imam Bayildi: Half of an eggplant topped with sauteed onions and tomatoes. While itself was pretty normal, it went so well with the Ottoman rice. 5. Ottoman Rice: The true highlight of all the dishes I tried! It was basically Basimati rice cooked with dried apricots, raisins, almonds & pine nuts mix, and seasoned with black currant. Overall it was warm, earthy and lightly smoky. The apricot slices added some delightful sweetness and juiciness to the dish. Should pair well with Labneh, chicken and seafood. But to be honest, I can simply eat this stuff along for a whole meal! 6. Tabbouleh: They went against the traditional recipe by substituting the bulgur with quinoa and added some pomegranate arils. I liked the special texture of quinoa. The sweetness of pomegrante arils also enriched the flavors. However, I had to constantly spit the seeds when enjoying the salad. 7. Kofte: Adana style ground beef patties. Just like what I make at home haha! I ordered it as an add-on to my salad at lunchtime. It came with only 2 pieces which weighed no more than 3oz in total... Despite the delicious food, service was disappointing. The first time, the dinner, was Okay. While my food came out slowly, at least my server was aware of it and asked me how I liked the dishes. The second time, the lunch, was horrible. Even before I was seated, my server made me feel that he was reluctant to serve me, and emphasized that I had to order asap. "Luckily", I had already decided what to order. After I got my dishes, no one in the restaurant asked me if the food was Okay. And at the check, my bill was thrown onto my table. In comparison, the two ladies dining next to me came even after I started eating, but were greeted warmly and were given lots of time to decide what to order; not to mention that the staff gave them lots of suggestions, asked about their dining experience, and even chatted with them about sightseeing in DC, etc. Such discrimitory treatment is really unacceptable.

The menu is designated as New American, but also includes a fair number of Greek style items. I found it limiting and would have preferred more on the produce side. I ended up with a pappardelle with mushrooms. I found the mushrooms quite ample, but something in the cheese sauce, whether salt or otherwise, left me feeling a bit spazzy and charged up afterward. I find this a common problem, but they impose limitations on splitting checks due to fees on their end, which is less than ideal (but perhaps not this restaurant's fault). As a meeting location, it worked, but even if I construe comparators fairly narrowly, I've had better Mediterranean fusion cuisine at upscale downtown restaurants, and I would have liked to see a menu with more vegetarian protein.

I think I'd prefer to sit outdoors although maybe when it's less hot and humid, as it was a bit loud indoors. The sesame feta with watermelon was delicious and maybe our favorite dish overall. The tomato panzanella was okay but the tomato could have been more ripe. I'd heard about the focaccia but something was off when we went--something was very clearly missing, maybe salt, and it just tasted like a pretty dense vehicle for oil. They change the focaccia seasonally and may have just been having a bad day so I'd try it again but it was not great. The gnocchi was very good and very filling. The chicken was good, and the dill lemon sauce was nice. The desserts were all good--the phyllo cheesecake with peaches, a chocolate pudding, and a cheese plate with blue cheese and a Pennsylvania pecorino.
