Who’d have thought ten years ago that Washington’s power elite would gather for morning meetings at a farm-to-table restaurant with a name so folksy and earnest it sounds like a parody? Yet you’re likely to spot a few boldface names digging into stacks of blueberry pancakes or brioche French toast with brandied crème anglaise. Lighter fare includes the satisfying Drag Through the Garden, a vegetable-packed egg-white omelet with cheddar, and a yogurt parfait with oats, nuts, and whatever fruit is in season. The Potomac location may not boast many heavy hitters, but in warmer weather you can dine on a patio festooned with flowers and herbs. Monday through Friday 7 to 11 am, Saturday and Sunday 9 to 2 (DC) and 9 to 1 (Potomac).
