The Fainting Goat - Washington, D.C.

Had brunch here with a friend and we both enjoyed it. Food was really good. I ordered steak and eggs, which is not on the brunch menu but they can make it for you of you request it and they have steak. The bottomless mimosas were also really good. The whitecranberry mimosa was a welcomed surprised.

Came for brunch? the food and drinks were amazing! My palate was blown!

Decent brunch! Food was good and it was a nice environment. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. I tried the Caesar on toast. It is simply just a Caesar salad with toast underneath but it was good! The egg was perfectly poached and it came withsome yummy prosciutto.

Fainting Goat has good drink specials, especially for U Street. The atmosphere is cute, and the service is good. However, where it lost stars was the food, which surprised me because I'd seen it recommended in several articles. It's a small menu, so Iexpected the couple options they had to all be great. I will say the pizza with lamb sausage was delicious, but everything elsewas fairly meh and very overpriced. I do not recommend the goat cheese fondue, which was oily and separated.

My friends and I went to The Fainting Goat for brunch. We were excited for their bottomless brunch (drinks: **** marys, a selection of mimosas, and sangria and delicious sounding entrées. We ordered a side of French Fries and their Goat CheeseFondue for appetizers. The fries were piping hot and well seasoned. The Goat Cheese Fondue was very nice. (See photo. It wascheesy, satisfyingly salty, and slightly spicy. The crusty toasted bread was a perfect accompaniment and the arugula was adelicious palate cleansers. It?s a bit steep at $17, but a good shareable appetizer. Our party really liked the drinks. Thewhite cranberry mimosa and red sangria were crowd favorites. At $22/ person, it?s not a bad deal. I ordered the Croque Sammyplus the crispy prosciutto for an extra $3. (See photo. I was expecting something similar to a Croque Madame (but without hamas the menu was clear on this point , however what arrived was a slice of Swiss Cheese melted between two slices of burnt toast.It was dry. The hollandaise helped bring moisture and flavor to the dish, but fell short. Moreover, the poached egg wasundercooked; the egg whites were still runny. The breakfast potatoes were the only redeeming part of this dish. I sent my orderback and asked for another dish. My second attempt at an entrée was their off-menu special, Steak and Eggs. (See photo. Thisdish was much better. It was a healthy portion of NY strip steak served with breakfast potatoes and two eggs. Everything waswell seasoned and the chimichurri was a perfect condiment. I asked for the steak to be medium rare, but it came out mediumwell. Two individuals in our party wanted the Bananas Foster French Toast, however, we were informed that the kitchen ran outof it and didn?t have enough ingredients to make more. Our reservation was for 11:45 a.m., so we were disappointed and surprisedthat they ran out. Our server, Darrell (sp? gave excellent customer service. Their excellent attention and congeni
