P.O.V or the Point-of-View Terrace at the W Hotel is self described as “the place to see and be seen,” so this isn’t usually my kind of place, but because of POV’s reputation of having some of the best views of DC it was always a place I wanted to try. So we did reservations for lunch there on a Saturday. It was winter so there were heavy plastic windows zipped together to keep the weather and wind out, but the views were still there and rather stunning.
POV has a semi-famous $45 brunch on Sunday’s, which we didn’t fully realize wasn’t also on Saturday, but we ordered from their lunch menu and the food turned out rather delicious (and really not that crazily priced). Their cheddar-jalapeno fritters appetizer definitely made its way on to my top favorite foods. Of course their mimosas and blood mary’s are something to add to the experience too. After you devour your food, grab a seat or at least walk around the terrace to check out all the different views of the White House, Washington Monument, and the Department of Treasury. From this point of view, we were a little surprised at just how small the White House seems. I want to come back for a cocktail in the spring to watch the sunset.
