cajcaj Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 10 hours ago, Lori Gardner said: I was there this past week (was going to start writing it up tomorrow) and the food was quite good. At $95 I thought the meal was well worth it. We were there this past Friday night, and I totally agree, Lori. I'm very surprised they didn't give the new pricing more of a chance - but as others have said, their initial mistakes with the concept must have been too great to overcome. I was surprised at how few tables there were, maybe only 7 or so? There were only 2 other tables occupied when we were there, but we also had a 5:30 reservation,so I thought it was early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPop Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Wow, of all the dramatic openings and closings that have happened in this city since I've lived here, this has to be in the top 5. Maybe not quite Roberto-Donna-level drama, but in the same ballpark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was poorly planned and conceived way before it became a physical presence. Ten minutes of serious mulling over the number of people who will spend almost $500 to eat dinner more then once should have stopped this nonsense before a dime was spent. I doubt this restaurant would have survived on Rodeo Drive, much less in DC. are you seriously implying that a restaurant charging $185 per person for food is unable to survive anywhere in the country, let alone dc(where this already exists)?
