When I go to DC two or three times a year I end up heading back to
the West coast on Sunday afternoon (to get that Saturday night
stay in for better air fares) and enjoy going out for interesting
Sunday brunch buffets.  A couple of weeks ago when I was in DC
I found that the place I loved was no longer in business (as best
I could determine), and the place I enjoyed a few years ago was also
not to be found.

Where would you suggest for a really great (wide variety, good quality)
Sunday buffet brunch?

btw, the place I had gone to before was 700 Water St. and had: an eggs
Benedict/Florentine/whatever station, omelette station, french toast,
panackes, cold seafood, breads, lox, bagels, sweets, salads, Chinese
food station with wok, and 6-10 assorted hot dishes usually including
Cajun-style dishes -- and live Dixieland jazz!   The other place I
recalled was Devon's (used to be at 2000 Penn) which had a whole buffet
of Cajun / New Orleans / Southern dishes -- and some mighty good
bread pudding and chocolate pecan pie.    That will give you an idea
of the type of food I found interesting -- not your normal eggs Benedict,
waffles, etc.

Thanks.

p.s.  If anyone knows what happened to either 700 Water St. or Devon's,
I'd like to know...
