Q by Peter Chang is located in a chic 8,000 square foot palace offering modern Chinese cuisine in the heart of downtown Bethesda, Maryland.  Q stands for Qijian and means "flagship" in Chinese. Keith and I were invited to try the dim sum brunch, available Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm.  Closest Metro is Bethesda.

Lupo Verde Osteria

Lupo Verde Osteria is an intimate 95-seat restaurant located in the Palisades area west of Georgetown. We trekked out of our way to try the new Social Brunch that debuted in July and is now available Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Priced at $35 per person (excluding tax and gratuity), guests can enjoy authentic, rustic, Italian fare in a family-style format. Diners will be able to select one antipasti, one side dish, two pastas or egg dishes and one bottle of prosecco off the featured menu prepared by Executive Chef Todd Sprik.

Gravitas

Gravitas, located in Ivy City, comes to us from chef-owner Matt Baker who has done stints at minibar, Brasserie Beck, and Occidental Grill.  Here at Gravitas diners can experience customizable four- through seven-course tasting menus. Menu offerings change frequently and feature the very best seasonal ingredients, where vegetables are given equal attention and care.  Closest Metro is NoMa-Gallaudet.
