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.

It was painful to watch the whole thing unfold, even as an occasional customer. Yeah, I know the Mayorga guys had absolutely no service industry knowledge whatsoever.

Mayorga always felt "wrong" for reasons I could never quite put my finger on, and Nori seemed totally uninviting. They should've found a way to keep that theater lobby a theater lobby (an unsegregated one, unlike the original Tivoli). I am convinced this particular location is eternally doomed.

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. A nightclub/lounge would work. But good luck trying to get that past the ANC.

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. 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.

We saw this situation walking up the street, you know? This was trouble back in October. How can you rescue someone from themselves? This is awful.
