From an email:
Recess Lounge of 727 15th St NW D.C. announces the opening of their new Recess Tapas Lounge. The lounge will open on Friday, July 6th (updated from original July 4th opening date).
Recess first opened as a late-night lounge in 2009 and now owners Brandon Howard and Fisayo Esconsay have partnered Chef Will Vivas to add a Tapas Lounge. Chef Vivas created a full tapas menu based on his Venezuelan roots. Guests can expect menu items like tapas Lamb con Romero, Hongos Conservados (Aged Roasted Mushrooms), and Rolled Spongecake with Nutella.
The restaurant and lounge will feature 49 seats in the dining area and 10 bar stools for casual eating. Hours for the Tapas Lounge are Tuesday through Saturday 4:30-10pm, with Happy Hour specials from 4:30-6:30. Normal lounge late hours remain Tuesday 10pm to 2am and Friday- Saturday 10pm to 3am.

Awesome yard and beautiful outside. The inside isn't nice in my opinion and the kitchen...
OMG another tapas place I want to die.
At least it isn’t “American tapas.”
Yet.
Shout out to the homie Sayo and Brandon. Congrats on the addition of the food.
More tapas? Weren’t them from Spain? Is it not enough with Estadio fake tapas? Venezuelan tapas now? The rolled sponge cake looks like frozen dog poop in the park.
I’m hoping the restaurant will learn how to spell, “Nutella” before their opening.
