1520 14th Street, NW opened back in 2010
Thanks to all who passed on the sad news from Estadio:
“If you haven’t heard the news, i wanted to let you know that we have decided that it is time to say farewell to our beloved restaurant.
Of course this does not come without much sadness, but as i told the Washingtonian yesterday, i certainly view this more as a funeral for a 100 year-old person, than as a funeral for a 30 year-old! We sure have a lot to look back on proudly and to celebrate from these past 13 years, and we intend so do plenty of that these next few weeks!
The eulogies and an abundance of thoughts and big thank you’s will surely follow, but we are sharing this news now and not later, because we want to let you know that we have every intention of hosting a non-stop party until the end of our final service on February 18th, and we sure hope you can make plans to celebrate with us!!
We look forward to sharing a slew of favorite memories and photos and such, during these festive final days, but as the ball is in my court this afternoon, i have decided to start by sharing this one of my late grandpa and i! When it was snapped he had recently turned 100 himself, and i remember joyfully taking in that special evening, as it would be the last with him in the room. Sure enough, my premonition was correct. At 102, Pa passed last year, and while it was not void of mourning, we focused on celebrating his rich life in just the way i hope Estadio DC’s is in these coming days!
NOTHING lasts forever, but we sure hope to add plenty of more enduring, jubilant memories as we get ready to say so long!
Thanks to the amazing talents and efforts of our Chef Dimas Mendoza, GM Jennifer Lucy and our incredible team, you may still yet have your finest Estadio experience ever! I am so thankful for all of my teammates, and we are looking forward to going out with a true bang!”
