"When brunch is a full-on family affair, consider Summer House Santa Monica in Bethesda. Thanks to its multiple indoor and outdoor seating options, there’s a good chance they’ll be able to accommodate all of you (hedge your bets, though, and make a reservation). The menu features solid brunch standards like buttermilk pancakes and egg sandwiches topped with bacon or avocado, but you can also go for things like the prosciutto pizza made with four cheeses, topped with a sunny-side up egg, parmesan cream, and chili flakes." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
