We have been open one week now, and as with any new restaurant, we have been steadily working out the kinks.

For those of you who live around the U street corridor, thank you for your support, we are very happy to be a part of this neighborhood.

They've been planning the opening for some time and have finished at least some of their inspections, if not all at this point. I know they have some good people working in management (from Tunnicliffs and Stoney's). I'm looking forward to it, though I don't know that I'll get there when it first opens. Unless things get the way things get, they're hoping for a quiet opening on Sunday, the 17th.

FYI here is the menu for anyone interested. If you would like to come by and look, feel free anytime. Sunday the 17th at 5pm is (as Pat already said) the scheduled opening, witha grand opening scheduled sometime in March.

I don't think that the calories are that high, if I am going to drink a light beer, I go for things like Anchor Steam or other micro brews. I have heard various bartenders recommend these often when asked for a light beer. Fortunately for we restaurant folk, light in color is usually mistaken for light in calories too.

The District Chophouse and Brewery. I had chards of glass in my mashed potatoes during a work lunch event. The manager argued with me that they don't have glass in the kitchen. I then proceeded to take two pieces out of the mashed potatoes and hand them to him. He said it was large pieces of salt. I told him to put them in his mouth and eat it. He declined. Meal was comped, but I will never go back again. Glass in food is a serious issue, but even worse was their attitude. At least they supposedly dumped that batch. Actually we never went back for lunch ever again.

I have had that problem on two occasions, but with drinks, not food. Both times, it was because the server was using the glass as an ice scoop as well. The first time it happened, the glass got stuck in my gums, and I was bleeding. Regardless of the obvious, the manager actually had the gaull to ask me if I had dental problems before apoligizing. As always, when I explained very nicley that I am in the business, he changed his tone completely. It was at that point that I realized that if I did not inform him of my job, how far would the insane attidtude have continued?!? In the interest of this particular restaurant, and the fact that the manager has long since moved on, I will leave the name out.
