Entyse Bistro is a wine/lounge bistro located inside the Ritz. They offer a breakfast, lunch, brunch, and a drink menu, with a comfortable relaxing vibe with clean, bright patriotic-esque decor.
I came here recently for a birthday celebratory brunch. There are AYCE options, such as the raw bar (situated by the bar with shrimp cocktail, sprinkled with Old Bay seasonings, cocktail and brandy cream sauce, crisp flatbread crackers (super addicting!), and a chilled crab dip); various salads; cheeses; charcuterie; smoked salmon on avocado toast; nuts; dried fruits; fresh fruit; and, desserts. I was a little sad that I didn't get to see any of the 'On the Pass' items, such as the frittata, the hash brown casserole, and the bacon/sausages!
You also get to order an entree from the brunch menu! We ordered The Virginian (poached eggs, lump crab, Virginia ham, and old bay hollandaise sauce; the Virginia ham is salty, so just keep that in mind; this eggs benedict was pretty okay), and the Steak, Eggs & Frites (grilled flat iron steak, two eggs, a side of truffle fries, and chipotle hollandaise on the side; the steak was juicy, eggs were more over hard rather than over medium, and the truffle fries were pretty tasty).
I basically stuffed myself on the camembert, the smoked salmon avocado toast, the leek croissant pastry, the flat bread crackers and the crab dip, and the raspberry champagne trifle (YUM!). The Tysons Peanut Butter Cream Pie was pretty good, too, and will be a favorite for any peanut butter fan.
I loved the attention to detail, as my dear friend also received a triple chocolate layer cake with candles and a 'Happy Birthday' message! The cake was dense, moist, and decadent!
Service was friendly, from the super welcoming host to our server. I highly recommend in making a reservation for their Sunday Brunch and eat to your heart's (and stomach's) content! Definitely one of the better brunch options around the NoVA area, I'll definitely be back to try out their other brunch entree options and find those breakfast sausages!
You'll definitely be leaving stuffed!
