wish that Gillian would move into CH/ParkView. Lots of potentially nice buildings… one is at Warder and Irving, dozens on GA Ave, store for sale on corner of 6th and Keefer NW by Mr SPruill

Though I live and work near the place and should have gone, the negative comments and observations about the service really kept me away. Now I’ll never be able to try it.

I thought it was good, but not earth shattering. I bet it was unique in its early days in that it they served good food and everything was from scratch, locally owned etc. But there are a lot more options for that kind of fare these days, and it seemed like they were still trying to hang on to some unique member of the slow food movement as their claim to fame. I’m all for slow food (but not super slow service…) but that can’t be the only trick up their sleeves. Man, the restaurant business must really not be for the faint of heart. Even when you’re doing fine, something like an expired lease can knock the wind out of your sails. Best of luck Colorado Kitchen folks! Hopefully a new beginning is soon to follow.

I’m glad it’s gone. Those folks were jerks. Couldn’t happen to more deserving arse-hats. Karma’s a bitch aint it.

Uh, I live in Takoma Park and have been hearing for several months about how Colorado Kitchen was in negotiations to open a “second” location up on Carrol Ave. in “downtown” Takoma Park. Looks like they were anticipating this happening…

On a personal note, I found CK to be overrated for what it is/was.

No, mjbrox. I think this place is totally over-rated. Good, but over-rated. One time I waited so long for a waiter while SEATED at the table that I got up and left.

the block on which CK sits has one of the widest sidewalks (a la 17th Street NW between P and R) in the entire city. but, currently, only one tenant, Lily’s Cafe, takes advantage of it, with a lovely, defined, outdoor seating area, with plants and flowers.

no doubt there are hurdles to jump through for businesses to use the sidewalk, but there is such a great opportunity on that block, to do so….

Am I the only one who thought the food was way over priced?

Oh, this hurts. Had my birthday dinner there this year. Love that place. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. I hope something great replaces it. There is a real dirth of options up our way.

If there was a glut of housing, 1 bedrooms wouldn’t be going for $350K+ in non-’transitional’ neighborhoods. More condos = more supply = easing demand = easing prices.
