All of my experiences there have been nothing short of bliss. Capitol Hill's food will just do that to you, though. Wait or no wait, Americana is worth it. The staff at Americana make up some of the best parts of it. They're always friendly, enthusiastic about their menu, and willing to accommodate special requests. The lavender mimosa adds an evenness to the normally citrus kick of a regular mimosa that I greatly appreciated. It's honestly hard to totally describe that mimosa, but it's something I highly recommend to everyone. Their take on an eggs benedict started with a layer of potato pancakes (with smoked Gouda and ham cooked into the pancakes), then the poached eggs, then a thick tomato and mushroom sauce - all with a side of toast. It's quite a bit of food, so it may be worth sharing or ordering on a day where you're very hungry!
