Suggestions for good brunch places in Bethesda or nearby?

[LisaM]

We are very picky and have a long list of concerns:

1) accessibility - one person has a walker
2) menu - prefer a standard champagne brunch buffet, but definitely need the breakfast or brunch basics - eggs, panackes, French toast, and bacon and sausage. Nothing ethnic.
3) noise level - one person has a hearing problem and really noisy places don't work for her
4) anonymity - we are getting a group for Mother's Day and these are essentially a group of relatives who don't get along and don't worry about picking at each other in public so it's better if we're not flush up against another group.
5) reservations - we will need these.

Thanks!

3. Not in Bethesda, but B. Smiths at Union Station would fill this order

I find these types of breakfasts boring, but this place does a good job with it. Kinda classy, too, with the Union Station elegance, seems like a special occasion place.

4. The best brunch in Bethesda is probably at Levantes on Woodmont.

But it's ethnic.

Perhaps the Hyatt has something. It and/or the Daily Grille which is attached to it MUST have something like what you're looking for.
