New Restaurant from owners of Rasika applies for liquor license in former Zola Space


800 F St, NW

Back in August we first learned that the owner of Rasika (and others) would be opening a new restaurant in the former Zola space by the Spy Museum at 8th and F St, NW. They’ve now applied for a liquor license which says:

“New restaurant serving American cuisine. Occupancy load is 230.”

Def. looking forward to learning more about this one. Stay tuned.

    “Another Concept,” not another restaurant thought it become part of the “Knightsbridge Restaurant Group” so I assume it is a restaurant.

    “American Cuisine” = $20 burgers + soggy handcut fries + diarrhea.

    With an occupancy load of 230 it sounds like they’re aiming for a more casual environment. Perhaps something that will appeal to the tourist that regularly swarm the Penn Quarter neighborhood. There’s nothing wrong with that. But I won’t be in a rush to visit anytime soon after it opens.

    i work in the area, so am hoping for something casual where i can get lunch once in a while. i’m tired of pret a manger and the other options!

    Am I just getting hopelessly old, unhip, and cranky…or does anyone else long for the old days when restaurants were restaurants and not “concepts?” (Same goes for stores–I think I hit my breaking point when I read a press release about the Ann Taylor store in Union Station morphing into a new Ann Taylor “concept.”)

    • No, I’m with you. Now that every bar and redtaurant has to be a “concept,” style seems to outweigh substance. Just open a place with good food, good drinks, and break this addiction to themes.

    It’s actually going to be a brasserie… heard from a very good source
