good point. more omelette than frittata....not a watery salsa (which I have no aversion to!) but something like at Lou Mitchell's in Chicago --- almost "pasta" like.

Similar to my other post....just specific to Spanish omelettes -- NOT a Denver; the key is a rich Spanish (peppers, onions, celery) sauce

Not trying to duplicate Chicago -- but it's a style of neighborhood breakfast/brunch places that I enjoy.

Where's the best Spanish Omelette in NOVA / DC? Looking for a thick, onion/celery/green pepper/spicy pepper sauce (think Lou Mitchells' in Chicago)

I've been looking for good breakfast/brunch like the Chicago neighborhood places. Somebody mentioned this. ????

Go for the 4-cheese croissant! Not the "filled with gooey stuff kind" --- but swiss, feta, parmesan (and a 4th I can't remember) blended into the croissant and flaky/buttery!!!

How about Table Talk or Morty's?

I can tell a man after my own heart. You've described the situation perfectly --- hopefully we'll find something.

Oh...I'm driving from Gainesville to Falls Church, so anything on 50 or 236 or in Centreville or Vienna or Fairfax or Annandale...well, you get the idea!

Looking for a full breakfast that's a step up from a diner with fancy pancakes (Orange's red, white and blue), spectacular Spanish omelletes (Lou Mitchells), french toast with great fruit flavors (Lula), and creative breakfast burritos. See the Lula menu (http://chicago.menupages.com/screenmenu.asp?restaurantId=14942&htmllink=4702A4C4C2C04CA8604D680C6FC82EC2F306DAB507959ADF32CF6D652C1C7DCC7AECF31A5B00AF56&taglineid=0) and see the Brunch! menu. An atmosphere of a comfortable, nice, casual, neighborhood place. Bongo Room menu here (http://chicago.menupages.com/screenme...)

Looking for more than just the cinnamon rolls (which as you know are to die for)...also looking a full breakfast that's a step up from a diner with fancy pancakes (Orange's red, white and blue), spectacular Spanish omelletes (Lou Mitchells), french toast with great fruit flavors (Lula), and creative breakfast burritos. See the Lula menu (http://chicago.menupages.com/screenme...) and see the Brunch! menu. An atmosphere of a comfortable, nice, casual, neighborhood place --- Thanks!

4 p's not open until 11 am. Where to go on the way to work for a real full breakfast, that's not a chain?

Not open until 10 am. Where to go on the way to work?

I just moved from Chicago where places like Lula, M Henry, Bongo Room, Tweet, Nookies, Orange, Toast, Lou Mitchell, Ann Sather, Victory's Banner are in abundance --- in Northern VA it seems there's nothing between the nice hotel breakfast and diners.

Where can I find a Bongo Room in the DC, NOVA area?

Thanks!
