7th and O Street, NW

Back in November of last year I posted some scuttlebutt about a Mintwood II restaurant from owners of Mintwood Place in Adams Morgan coming to Shaw in City Market at O. Happy to see that that scuttlebutt is now confirmed! From the Washington Post:

“Restaurateur Saied Azali and chef Cedric Maupillier have signed a lease to open a second concept together, at 801 O St. NW, otherwise known as City Market at O in Shaw. Yet to be named, the 120-seat dining room will be a riff on the business partners’ popular Mintwood Place, home to American food with a French accent.”

Now the only question left is whether or not Top Chef Winner Kevin Sbraga will also be opening up a spot in Shaw?
