   we were the only ones at the restaurant. It's a good bar, but not that fun for dinner.

   Mad Rose is great for a large group brunch. The service is laid back, in a good way. Unlike many other places in the area, they do not hassle your group and allow you to enjoy a leisurely brunch. There is no set requirement in terms of how much to spend or a time limit. They do individual bills and are happy to serve whoever is there, whenever you get there. You do not need to wait for the whole party to be seated. We had a reservation for 10 and about half of our group was a no show. Our server never complained, was very friendly, and continued excellent service -- like I said earlier, laid back which is the perfect mentality for brunch. We've been going there for our bi-annual brunch for over 2 years and will continue in the future.

   A group of us went for brunch and were pleasantly surprised. Don't let the appearance throw you off. Some of us had the buffet; others ordered from the menu. The food was great. The service was great. Will not hesitate to go back.

   I didn't know making reservations for brunch includes looking up the DC Bar Crawl schedule. My boyfriend and I walked in for brunch but was stopped by a bouncer to check our ID. I was confused to why this big guy was looking at my ID for brunch?!?! The tables were pushed to the side and people were setting up for something. I asked the server what was going on and he informed me the check in for the Christmas Bar Crawl was here. Although there was a line outside to check in, inside it was clear of diners, only DJs, bouncers, bartenders, and staff. They asked us to wait while they set a table but we could barely him. my boyfriend and I could barely hear each other so we could only image how loud and awkward it will be when these "young adults" are standing around us drinking while we are trying to enjoy our brunch. We let the staff know we were leaving and left to go somewhere we can enjoy our meal.

   Had a living social for brunch and was blown away by the food and service! The portions were generous and the grilled white peach garnish was a wonderful surprise! Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

   Mad Rose is a pretty fun spot in Clarendon for people looking to bar hop. I decided to try there brunch for a change. The food was actually very good. I had the breakfast burrito. It was served hot and tasted delicious. The fresh fruit was also a nice touch. However, the service was just slow. It didn't seem all that crowded and it took at least 30 minutes for our food to come out. I think I would try it again, but I would order as soon as I sat down to avoid the hunger pains. Our waiter was very nice, and I don't think he was at fault for the slowness. I understand, sometimes things just happen.

They accomadated all of my 20 guest for not additional charge expect tip included, which was great for all of my individual guest needs. We ate, drink and smoked hookah. Im so glad i picked this location for my birthday.

   My wife & I had a pre-show dinner, which was tasty and served promptly. We went early, so the restaurant was slow and the service was very attentive. The interior needs some updating, with old ceiling tiles and rocky tables, but the bar and outside dining look nice.

    Loved their eggs benedict. Place leaves a bit to be desired in terms of decor/ambiance, but the food is so great!
