Just received a private message from the owner of Blue Ridge. They are stuck in permitting hell.

Does anyone know what's going on with this place? It's been sitting empty for six months - they still have tables and chairs, you can still see the beer fridge through the window, and apparently the owner even threw a party there a few weeks ago. Why keep a functioning bar closed? It seems REALLY sketchy to me - like they ran out of money, or lost their liquor license or something.

Does anyone know when Blue Ridge is reopening?

I'm sad to say that I was a little disappointed in brunch at Dino - I went with some girlfriends just a week or two after Dino started serving a regular brunch because we all love Dino for dinner. The food was delicious, however the portion sizes were far too small for the prices. I was surprised by this, considering the dinner portion sizes are quite large (I'm never able to finish my meal). Dean - please increase the portion sizes and we'll be back! Thanks.

Hello, Just wanted to say I'm so excited to join this forum, looking forward to hearing about great new things in the DC bar and dining scene!
