Father’s Day is almost here, and several restaurants in the region are getting ready to celebrate the holiday with a variety of specials.

Seven Reasons Group

Several restaurants within the Seven Reasons Group are celebrating Father’s Day with specially curated brunches or — in the case of Latin American restaurant, Seven Reasons — a live DJ. For Mediterranean and Latin American restaurant, Imperfecto, guests can expect a brunch menu that includes a wagyu burger and a wild mushroom omelet with premium add-ons, such as caviar service and truffle fries. The Saga is also expected to host Bolivian guitar duo Duende Camaron, who will perform live at the restaurant during dinner service starting at 7:30 p.m.

Those seeking higher-end experiences can head to Spanish Kaiseki restaurant, Cranes, for brunch or dinner. During the morning service, WTOP is told that there will be bottomless mimosas for dads, while the dinner special will be a complimentary soft-shell crab dish for dads.
Tabard Inn
1739 N St. NW, Washington, D.C.
Since its opening in 1922, the Tabard Inn has become the longest-continuously operating inn and restaurant in the District. Backing up that history and cozy atmosphere is a three-course dinner with an optional wine pairing and live jazz in the historic lounge this Sunday. The Father’s Day prix fixe dinner starts at 5 p.m. and costs $79. An optional premium wine pairing costs an additional $65, though guests can also order from the regular dinner menu. The holiday special includes a spring panzanella, steak frites with a red wine gastrique and an Earl Grey creme brulee with bergamot.
Primrose
3000 12th St. NE, Washington, D.C.
Even as one of the cheapest holiday specials on this list, Primrose has a lot to offer. For brunch (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) on Father’s Day, the restaurant is serving a $25 special that includes an alcoholic beverage (choice of bloody mary, mimosa, old fashioned or beer) paired with the Primrose Smash Burger, which is made with gruyere cheese, griddled onions, Dijonaise and a side of frites. The regular brunch menu will also be available.
MXDC Cocina Mexicana
