chiefdc Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was perusing bisnow.com's real estate section, and saw this interesting clip: "Cushman's Dave Dochter... recently signed Little Buddha, a Vegas-based restaurant, to space at 455 Mass [Ave NW]." The Vegas Little Buddha looks pretty posh and trendy. They serve sushi, and it seems to be mostly favorable reviews. Could fill a niche downtown in Mt Vernon square, an area currently crying out for culinary options. Anyone been to the Vegas one at the Palms Hotel? Thoughts? In the same post, they mention a restaurant group called BlackFinn Group (from sleuthing, it looks like a Chatlotte-based entertainment group) signing a lease at 3175 Wilson Blvd. which is between the Clarendon Ballroom and the new restaurant Eventide. (From the looks of the places the group has opened, I expect it to be cheesy and gimmicky. Just what Clarendon needs... yikes) http://www.bisnow.com/washington_dc_commer...tory.php?p=1892 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiveturk21 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 During my 15 to 20 stays at The Palms in Vegas over the years, we have been to Little Buddha a handful of times. It is the type of place that you want to like, mostly because it is in the hotel and you can't eat every meal at N9NE, but we rarely had an above average experience. It is fine, they have a good scene, but the sushi is generally sloppy. Basically, it seems like it is a better place to go and "be seen" as opposed to "eat good food." Some places are able to do both, but Little Buddha is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlebby Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 From The Urban Dictionary: 1. endulge How people from Ohio spell 'indulge.' "Maybe Sharon should endulge in a dictionary so she could learn to spell indulge." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericandblueboy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Their website really makes me want to go there. seriously? I think I'm going to boycott fancy half-ass Asian food from now on. I rather eat real Asian food at a fraction of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little alliteration can be a dangerous thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
