Well, if this helps, all the items are up for auction on the Rasmus site. So I don’t think they will be restarting.

oof. i liked that place. that’s what i get for not dropping by in a couple months

I think the front portion on 14th street would make a nice cozy restaurant/sushi bar. but awkward space on Park, with the 2-levels is a nightmare.

I frequented both Mayorga and Nori, and frankly, neither of them were good business people. You can’t just it “build it, and they will come”. You need to restaurant saavy and they had none. See Pete’s Apizza for a successful model.

A nightclub/lounge would work. But good luck trying to get that past the ANC. It has all the elements to be a successful nightclub. That block is desolate enough at night to avoid complaints from residents. No overhead residents to complain. Giant is closed after 10 providing parking access. Metro.

I heard that mayorga and nori had similar ownership partners. none of them knew what they were doing.

My husband and I were excited about this place, but were pretty disappointed with the service and prices of the mediocre food. They had one really good roll, but at like $13, it was pricey. After being charged $14 for a weak rail vodka and cranberry, we decided to never return.
