- AAustinWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 1, 2026I thoroughly enjoyed the all-day Sunday brunch. The servers and manager were super attentive and welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious and the chef was very personable. Additionally, they allowed an older unhoused gentleman to sit in from the frigid temperatures and have a complimentary hot tea. Would totally recommend.More infoElysium$$$$• Fusion / Eclectic• Downtown•3.4
