It's great to see the idea of brunch catching on along H Street. So far, however, the intermittent efforts are more of a turn-off than a turn-on. Restaurants need to commit, strongly, to being open for lunch/brunch before consumers will catch the drift and start partonizing those offerings. "Testing out" a brunch menu, variably on a Saturday or Sunday -- which I feel like I've seen from multiple restaurants -- is not going to get me to walk over. I'd rather drive to Barracks Row where I *know* several options will be open every single day.
My girlfriend and I tried the brunch a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. It hasn't caught on quite yet, so there is no wait and the the atmosphere is really chill. We had the bison Bruschetta/french toast and a couple of pretty incredible specialty mimosas. We'll be going back until the place starts getting crowded and we can't get a table anymore.
