    Another memorable fine dining experience. I had an enjoyable brunch at the elegant Greenhouse Dc located at The Jefferson’s Hotel. I ordered the Three-Egg Omelet with the roasted breakfast potatoes as a side. It was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted so great including the green tea!!

    Just had brunch right after the Cherry Blossoms bloomed. Service was great and food even better. We had the avocado toast and good old fashioned eggs, toast, and sausage which came with arugula salad and crispy potato strings. We never felt rushed and our server was friendly and attentive. I was surprised at how good the coffee tasted after having "city water" everywhere else in DC (hotel, museums, etc.)! The dining space is light and airy but not overdone. We walked around after brunch and checked out the lobby, library, and a few book nooks with meeting space and it was very neat, indeed. I would like to stay at the hotel next time I'm in town for sure.
