Review by Zula Champlin

Capitol Bistro offers a delightful experience, especially for breakfast! I tried the buffet and was pleasantly surprised by the variety - fluffy scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, and fresh fruit made my morning. The atmosphere was casual, perfect for tourists and families alike. My favorite was the made-to-order omelet; it was packed with flavor. While coffee prices feel a bit high, the takeaway option for a cup was a thoughtful touch. Overall, a great spot to fuel up before exploring D.C.! 🌟
