I can do brunch or lunch on Sunday (I think). Saturdays are much harder.

Sounds like brunch or lunch on Sunday the 20th will work better, so let's plan that. Now is time to pick a venue. Suggestions anyone?

I'm a DC'er who has never managed to join up with y'all for a meal yet. Are there any venue suggestions yet for brunch on the 20th? It's coming up fast!

The most obvious choice for brunch in Clarendon is Whitlow's, who have a $20 buffet, as well as the option of ordering off the menu. The catch is that they don't take reservations for brunch and, I suspect it would be a madhouse.

Tallula has a more interesting menu and I believe they do take reservations.

Let me get a count of likelies for brunch on Sunday while I investigate the possibilities further.

Sorry for the delay in scheduling, I've been very busy.

I've added myself to a count in the wikipost at the top of this thread. If others do the same, maybe that will make it easier to keep organized?

I'm guessing Bayou Bakery isn't too well set up for a group? Although there is no Saints game on the 20th. http://www.bayoubakeryva.com/who.html

It is definitely much more a bakery than an actual restaurant. The one time I was there, the decibel level was comparable to the two children screaming behind me on a flight this past weekend.

Done. The probability of turning maybe into definite increases the earlier it starts and the further west it is. But I doubt I could get folks to come out to my neck of the woods for anything (although Artie's has quite a decent brunch and I could offer rides from the metro.)

Wish I could make it but I'm hopefully running the 10-Miler this weekend.

Bayou is too small for a large group. Whitlows is definitely a good option, as is Liberty Tavern (which does take reservations).

Enjoy!

Liberty Tavern's menu looks promising. Whitlow's would be nice, but the ability to make a reservation is definitely preferred.

It appears Liberty serves brunch from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. mhnadel has expressed a preference for earlier, and that would probably work better for me, too. Would an 10:30 am or 11:00 am time slot would work for people? I'll try to look around for other possibilities, but why don't we pencil Liberty Tavern in for now for our get-together on the 20th. I'll plan to make a reservation Friday or Saturday, when we get a better count.

And sorry you won't be able to join us, Duke777, but good luck in the race!

Liberty Tavern at 10:30 or 11 would work very well for me and the menu does, indeed, look appealing.

Works for me.

Count me in for brunch on Sunday.

I'll drop by brunch to say hi, get acquainted. But I accepted another brunch offer before the activity picked up here, so will leave way early. Not sure how that fits into a count for a rez, but must leave at 11:30.
