Fyve at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City

If you can't stay at this ultra-elegant hotel, at least you can enjoy one of its top features – a spectacular Sunday champagne brunch available September through June. The extensive buffet goes above and beyond typical spreads. Standard are fresh breads, made-to-order omelets, salads, pastries, meats, and vegetables, along with a huge seafood and raw bar complete with crab claws and smoked salmon. Add in a dessert table, a serene, flower-filled dining room, and a pianist, and you'll delight in this memorable weekend treat. Adults $58 and children 2-12 $29.
