Got there a few minutes late for our reservation and they were very accommodating about getting us seated quickly. Delish food, hip vibe, and terrific service by Jose G. A great place to get a meal before (or after) a show at the Anthem, so we'll be back!

I go here every time I am in DC for brunch, it’s my favorite place for brunch. Always have a great food experience, I highly recommend the Voodoo Coolers! Service, food always the best. It gets very busy so other people must think the same.

    Our server was wonderful. She did a great job checking on us, explaining menu items and communicating to the kitchen of a food allergy. Despite it being a full restaurant during our time there, we were still attended to by staff regularly at Miss Toya’s, we could talk and enjoy the music without having to yell -which can be an issue with brunches in general. The food was delicious, brought out hot and promptly after ordering. Brunch was great value for the price.
