As the weather warms up, many brunch seekers head to the Heights in Columbia Heights for its enjoyable outdoor setting and its extensive, and complicated, Bloody Mary menu. Unfortunately, the food is bad. An entire page of the menu is devoted to customizable Bloody Marys featuring many varieties of alcohol (vodka and gin), adjustable spiciness, additives such as lime juice or clam juice, and then a choice of up to three vegetables. I had one with Absolute Peppar, "spicy" mix, lime juice, and celery, cucumbers, and red peppers. The mix was good and fairly spicy, though it was on the thin side and had too much ice.
