  1. Hello All - Carlie and Kevin are the owners of Himitsu. We got them set up in the space but are not involved in the restaurant. Hope this helps clear it up - Paul
  2. Thanks to all for the nice things said about Crane & Turtle. I am sad about closing the restaurant. But I am happy for Makoto and Katy that they are launching on a new path that I am sure will be filled with delicious food and lots of success. In my restaurants I try to avoid the "cookie-cutter", and build singular spots that take shape from the neighborhood, building and, most importantly, from the personnel that run the operations on a daily basis. I believe we had a special crew at Crane & Turtle and I know that I will miss working with them. We will be open until April 24th and then we plan to choose another idea for the space. At this time we are brainstorming and collecting suggestions. I hope we see some of you on Upshur Street before Makoto and Katy move on to New York.
  3. Wanted to announce that we just opened Crane & Turtle on Upshur Street in Petworth.
