    Quick take: nice brunch spot Service was super friendly and fast. We sat outside for brunch. I didn't know there were mosquitoes until the next table said there are mosquitoes. Brunch would have been more pleasant if we ate indoors. The avocado toast was really good. Definitely a recommended item on the menu.

    Came here for brunch and what an adorable place! It's themed in a very beach fashion and is the perfect place for brunch with your friends on the weekend. They have unlimited brunch drinks and an entree for 44 dollars. We started off with their nata which is a Portuguese pastry that was to die for! Ended up having their donuts too (which were like beignets) and they were just as wonderful. Our entrees were the surfer burrito and the chilaquiles. Just for the spicy lovers please nothat nothing here is spicy. Ask for additional hot sauce for that. The chilaquiles was our favorite of the two as it had more flavor overall. Our drinks were tasty (we had the sangria and the punch). The punch was our favorite. We walked here and are from out of town so cannot comment on the parking. Service was solid.

    I recently added this to my "repeat list" for brunch. They have a great deal- bottomless drinks (1.5 hours) and an entree for $48. You can also choose from a variety of bottomless drinks also- mimosas, sangria, vagabond punch, espresso martini, Bloody Mary and/or michelada. I usually get the avo toast which comes with a sunny egg, greens and home fries. The service is great, the food is yummy, the drinks are bottomless, and it comes at an amazing price. All things you need for a great brunch!

    Came with a group of friends. Food and service were great. We decided to share some of the plates, but would suggest personal plates next time. I liked the vacation theme for the drinks!

    Objects in photo may be smaller than they appear Brunch here can be skipped. Pura vida scramble itself was miniature and mid. the toast came out burnt in multiple places and was inedible. Potatoes were edible but not memorable. Avo toast was the epitome of mid.

    Vagabond is a cute spot but there are a lot of tables squeezed into the main dining space. And it's very dark. Maybe I'm old, but I couldn't read the menu with such low lighting. I've never experienced that before. I ordered the quesabirria for a starter and the vegan stir fry for my main dish. The quesabirria was tasty, but felt too greasy and heavy for my liking. I think the cheese added to the heavy feeling. The other person in my party ordered the shrimp tacos and those were delicious. Tasted lighter than the quesabirria. The stir fry was good. I didn't think I would finish the whole thing but I did. I added both proteins, shrimp and chicken (I lift and protein is important to me!) Unfortunately the server thought I wanted a chicken skewer so that's what came out. When the person who placed it on the table realized, he started to take it back, but the server put it back on the table. I found that interesting because the skewer had more of a burnt flavor whereas I'm assuming the chicken that would come with the stir fry would not. I didn't complain though because I was pretty hungry, but that annoyed me a bit. I was looking forward to the dessert menu but there wasn't anything on it that appealed to me (aka, no chocolate and nothing cake-like). They had basque cheesecake, grilled pineapple and ice cream, and a third item that I can't recall. Overall, the meal was decent, but I wouldn't return.

    Bar hopping in the neighborhood let us to the rooftop at Vagabond. Very cool setting, but hot and humid up there. We grabbed some seats at the bar and ordered drinks and snacks from the happy hour menu. The sliders and quesabirria tacos were excellent. Cocktails were solid as well. Very interesting menu and would like to try some more things here in the future. Solid spot.

    Came here for brunch for my first visit and was an enjoyable experience. They do have a bottomless brunch option that includes an entree and drinks for $48, which I like when they bundle the drinks and entree together vs paying separately for both. Might be in my head but at least I feel like this is a better deal as long as you order the most expensive entree :) I got the sliders and fries and thought this was not on the menu as an entree I was charged extra for the fries. I enjoyed them but honestly wanted to come here based on the photos of their Birria which is not on the brunch menu. So my bad there! Guess I will have to come back haha. My dining companions got the breakfast sandwich, and shakshuka. The breakfast sandwich really struck me as lack luster and hardly anything inside... mostly bread. I make a better one at home, so wouldn't suggest. The shakshuka looked very hearty and nice though. The winner was really two custard tarts we ordered for the table and shared. They were exceptional! Like a crème brûlée almost. So good. Order this for sure! Service was good but nothing special or stand out to be honest. I did like the ambiance and feel of the restaurant. I will come back to try their Birria, which honestly hope it tastes as good as it looks but overall I would say the total experience was good but nothing really stood out aside from their dope custard tarts.

    The sardines which were in a can. I've never seen a restaurant do this.

    I usually don't leave reviews but I have to this time. The service was fine but the food was horrible. The octopus was cold and flavorless. The worst part was the sardines. They served it in a can. I could have just gone to World Market and saved a trip. Save your money and have a meal at home.

    Tuna Poke Bowl

    Three cheers for the nazaré!!! I would come back for this drink alone! My friend and I were bopping around the Dupont art walk when we glimpsed this rooftop and knew we had to make a stop. We ordered drinks and food and were immediately obsessed with the nazaré drink (cute, passion fruity, unexpected but super fun spicy kick) along with the rooftop vibe. The quesabirria was a bit small but delicious, while the poke bowl was heavy on rice but at least filling. The food is not the best value, but the rooftop and drinks together are excellent and bartenders are great. It's an easy summer vibe!

    I found this place on a TikTok review, I decided to check it out with a low expectations. I was surprised, staff were really friendly, the host was very nice and accommodating, I set at the bar, the bartender was very knowledgeable about the cocktails, he helped me choosing my drinks, food was delicious, I loved the sardines appetizer. Overall this place was very good, I am coming back soon.

    The Lineup -- very filling in the best way.

    I've been here for brunch twice and I feel like DC is really sleeping on this place as a brunch spot. The first time I went, everyone in my party foolishly ignored the "Vagabond Bottomless" option at the bottom left of the brunch menu. ‍ If you plan on having a proper "DC Brunch" , I would definitely opt for the bottomless option. We obviously really liked this spot so we went back a second time on Sunday and did the right thing (which was do the bottomless option). I ordered the Lineup and four espresso martinis and because I did the bottomless vagabond it came out to ~$44 + tip. The first time I went, I ordered the buttermilk pancakes and only two drinks and it was almost the same price. We order the Doughnuts as an appetizer for the group the first time. It was under the 'For the Table' section of menu so we assumed there would be enough for everyone to at least get to try it but they only brought three really tiny doughnuts. I wasn't really happy about that and I felt like that was a bit misleading. It was more of a personal plate of doughnuts rather than something meant to be shared by all (Table of 5). This space is a little small so I would highly recommend making a reservation beforehand. The outdoor space is really pretty as well. There's also a nice rooftop bar that wasn't as busy as the dining room. Despite my 4-star rating, I really liked it and will be back!

The space is gorgeous; I love all the plants, and the light brown, light blue, and white color combination for their furniture makes the space look classy and modern. The light brown leather couches are comfortable, and I love the way they circle around the tables to create a natural, cozy booth. Our food was just as beautiful as the space. The Restaurant Week menu comes with an appetizer, main, and dessert. Given how indecisive I can be (and how expansive the normal menu is), I was grateful to have my choices narrowed down a bit. I started off my meal with the octopus. The octopus was remarkably tender and not overly chewy, and had a delightful char that gave it a slightly smoky flavor. They double downed on the smokiness with their burnt chili oil, which, alongside the lemon and salsa verde, gave the dish a wonderfully balanced smoky, savory, and slightly acidic flavor. The crushed potatoes had a lovely crispy shell on the outside and served as a great base for the tender octopus. The main course was probably the easiest choice of the evening -- I'm absolutely obsessed with branzino, so the second I saw it on the Restaurant Week menu, I knew that was what I had to get. The fish is beautifully broiled, with a nice, crispy skin and super tender, flaky flesh. It's topped with a few pieces of roasted garlic and a wedge of lemon. The fresh lemon juice, as well as the lovely side salad, offered a great pop of freshness to bring the whole dish together. And finally, for our dessert, I chose the chocolate torta. This wonderful dessert is remarkably rich and decadent, with a strong dark chocolate flavor. It's topped with a lovely marsala date sauce and scoop of sheep's yogurt ice cream, but still doesn't feel overly sweet. The sheep's yogurt in the ice cream offers a bit of tanginess, and I loved the addition of the candied walnuts for a bit of crunch.
