When we showed up to District Commons not only did they have our table and high chairs waiting for us, they had a kids-pack-thing chocked full of crayons, coloring paper, a legit children's menu and this odd, sticky string - an instant-hit.
A Foggy Bottom favorite, District Commons brunch is, in my humble opinion, superior to dinner or lunch. The Short Rib Hash and the Shrimp and Grits are hands down two of the best items on the menu ... for parents, that is, although I did like the grits and potatoes that come with the hash.
We also ordered the Hot Pretzels, Kentucky Colonel Flatbread and Artisanal Ham, Acadiana Biscuits, Vermont Creamery Butter and Pickled Cherries as starters - all of which went like hotcakes among our party of eight.
Silly string and all, the multiple courses did try my patience. I recommend ordering everything at one time and having food come out when it is ready.
At $6 an item, I ordered off the kids' menu and had a cheesy omelette that worked out quite well.
Random side note, the changing table is in the handicap bathroom stall in the ladies' - and hopefully the men's too.
Happy parents combined with a forgiving waitstaff and a well-fed baby made for a successful family-friendly brunch out with friends. A must try when eating out with or without baby!
