For a memorable birthday brunch, we chose Blue Duck Tavern at the Hyatt in Washington, DC, and it was a fantastic decision. We walked from our hotel, so I'm unsure about parking, but l'd suggest allowing extra time to find a spot in this busy area. Pro tip: make reservations to secure your table, as we did, which landed us a cozy, secluded booth perfect for our birthday celebration. Our entrees were outstanding. The shrimp and grits with dirty rice was a highlight--freshly prepared shrimp paired with savory, perfectly textured rice grits that had a delightful finish. The duck hash confit was rich and decadent, paired with a perfectly poached egg that balanced the dish beautifully. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a special brunch. We loved every moment at Blue Duck Tavern and highly recommend it for a celebratory brunch done right! Rating: 5/5
