    The server was not very attentive. The food took an hour to come out (which is no problem, however, the server did not communicate to us. The manager came by and said the food should be out shortly. Once the food did come out, the server didn’t come by and check on us. We had to stop him and ask for the check. Again, not mad about the inconvenience of waiting an hour for food— however, it should have been better communicated to us.

    Founding Farmers is always my go-to brunch place, especially when friends or family are in town. It’s a DC staple. The food is consistently good (high-quality ingredients), the service is always exceptional, and the ambiance is an added treat. I love the Founding Farmers’ brands; all of the restaurants are really good and offer a distinct flare. Founding Farmers has helped us usher in some of our best moments and experiences. It’s a gem!
