Met friends for brunch at Java Nation, where we enjoyed a nice variety of menu items (would like to see a few more vegetarian options, however). Our server was lovely and attentive, and was willing to sub crab for smoked salmon on my benedict. It was perfectly cooked and delish. Cocktails were innovative and tasty. It was a little loud, but that just means that it was filled with others who have discovered what a gem this restaurant is. Reasonably priced and ample parking across the street.

A small group of us went to Thunder Burger & Bar after a show at the Kennedy Center. You can park in the Colonial Parking lot (2 minute walk to the restaurant). The service was attentive and it was cozy inside with a fire in the fireplace. We got the nacho appetizer and then we all got different burgers. Everyone had good things to say about their meals including me who got the Impossible Burger (plant-based) - so good! Fries were good too. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!
