Bistro Bistro is located at 1727 Connecticut Ave NW. We noted their grand opening back in June ‘09 (for some reason that post got messed up but the comments are still there).

I know folks are fond of the nearby Bistrot du Coin.

I think enough time has passed to properly judge Bistro Bistro. You can see their menus here. Any fans?

@metrocurean shares the news on twitter that “Ezme is having its grand opening today at 2016 P St, NW”. We spoke about Ezme a few weeks ago. That was a quick arrival!

And in other restaurant news the original Thai Tanic at 1326 14th Street, NW is looking to expand into their second floor.

Nooshi is located at 1120 19th Street, NW. You can take a look at their menus here. Their Web site says:

“Nooshi is showcased along with the country cooking of Southeast Asia and decor of a mix of furniture and artifacts from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. Stepping into this epicurean Asian retreat in the downtown district will transport you into the world of Eastern exotica.

The menu with a wide selection of regional Asian dishes as well as mouthwatering sushi is among the finest served in the District of Columbia area. Dishes are inventively light, low in fat, visually arresting and vividly flavored. Each dish is expertly prepared by the talented, skillful and innovative chefs using the freshest and top quality ingredients.”

So is this more of a lunch place for those that work nearby or is it a good spot for dinner as well? For the fans out there is it better for the sushi or the noodles?

Ezme Wine Bar and Turkish Restaurant is coming to the 2000 block of P Street, NW west of Dupont Circle (across from today’s judging buildings). This is the location that used to house Pesce. Apparently Ezme is from the same group that owns Meze in Adams Morgan.

Following the theme of judging restaurants in hotels, the Beacon Bar & Grill is located at 1615 Rhode Island Avenue, NW. Is this place more of a bar or a restaurant? Good place for brunch? You can find their menus here.

Last week I mentioned that Rogue States was coming soon. This past weekend I was able to chat with owner and chef, Raynold Mendizabal, of Rogue States. First off, they are trying to open this week, though they are still awaiting some permit approvals so this week might be a bit ambitious. Their mission is written write on the wall:

“To be a rogue member of the fast food industry, serving great artisan food in an undeniably chic environment.”

Still a bit of work going on inside:

All of their burgers are half pound and will cost $7. It is interesting to note that when they do open the place will be open from 11am – 5am daily. I’m not too familiar with food options open this late in DC. I see this as a positive development for late night eating in DC.

After the jump you can see a list of their burgers and their wood burning oven. Read Full Post

Mezza Luna is located at 1140 19th St NW. While I’m normally averse to any establishment with Cowboys paraphernalia out front, I am always interested in learning of good places to watch sports. So in addition to the food is this a good place to catch a game as well?

Rogue States has applied for a liquor license at 1300 Connecticut Ave south of Dupont Circle. The description from the alcohol application says it will serve sandwiches and burgers. Sounds like it could be a good lunch option for those that work in the area.

We learned back in August that this great new restaurant name was coming to 17th and R Streets, NW. While not open yet, I just noticed they put up this sweet new sign. I still can’t believe how hilarious that name is…

Annie’s is located at 1609 17th St, NW in Dupont. We’ve previously discussed where to get the best steaks in town here. So how does Annie’s match up? Yelp also mentions some breakfast and brunch options. I’ve never heard of a steak house with breakfast options. So is this a better brunch spot or steak house?

Current Sushi is located at 1215 Connecticut Ave., NW. I always thought this spot was a bar/lounge. There is also a DJ Thurs. – Sat. after 10pm. Anyone ever try the sushi here?

Anna Maria’s Italian restaurant is located at 1737 Connecticut Ave NW. Back in May it looked they were only closed for renovations. Sadly it now seems they are closed for good. Their phone number has been disconnected and there is a big for lease sign in the window. I hope their classic sign at least makes it to the Smithsonian…

In happier news I’m told that Kabaji Grill is opening up this week at 1351 Connecticut Ave., NW.
