"Planning brunch for a big group with kids and multiple dietary restrictions may seem like mission impossible, but Unconventional Diner is up to the challenge. In the middle of Mt. Vernon Square, this industrial-modern space is centrally located to everything in downtown DC. We usually can’t pick between the chicken and waffles or the buttermilk pancakes topped with blueberry lavender sauce and mascarpone cream—getting both is obviously the way to go. Dessert devotees will dream about the carrot cake for years to come." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
