Thanks to J. and G. for sending word about Red Rocks H Street location closing: “Per an Employee of Red Rocks, H Street location is already permanently closed.”
The location for H Street on their website has been taken down and the Red Rocks H Street specific website appears to now be a Turkish gambling forum, I’m not sure as my Portuguese is a bit rusty. Red Rocks opened their H Street location in August of 2013.

Oh lord, this follows the news of Peregrine’s upcoming closure a block away.
Update: Another reader reports: “I called and spoke to Wesley at Aqua al 2 (their sister restaurant on Barracks Row) and he confirmed that both Ghibellina and Sotto have closed in their current location. He said they may reopen at a different location in the future, but as of now they are closed.”
A reader reports: “Happening right now (8:00 am, Tuesday). Things Being moved out of Ghibellina. One mover said “they’re closed”. “Another said we are moving everything out.” One of my favorite restaurants.” (more…)
Thanks to Lissy for sending from Saturday night:
“We spotted what we discovered was this newly married couple a few tables over. People had been sending them glasses of champagne with one couple offering to buy them a bottle to take home. Here is a video as they got up to leave. The entire restaurant clapped for them when they got up to leave. It was heartwarming.”
Please email your awesomeness to [email protected] and let me know where you found it.
2121 K Street, NW
Thanks to Ethan for sending Saturday: “Signage from Bobby’s Burger Bar on K street being removed”
Bobby’s Burger Palace opened on K Street in August 2011.
At the moment this location is still listed as temporarily closed on their website. Obviously the sign coming down is never a good sign, updates when/if the closure is announced as permanent.

This is the former Bourbon space that we learned about back in November. Glad to see their moving forward.

Thanks to Stu for sending “they put up signage recently at Rosemary Bistro in Chevy Chase.”
Last month we learned that Rosemary Bistro would be opening in the former Terasol space across from Politics and Prose on Connecticut.
Stay tuned for an opening date.

“The Establishment will be a bagel shop serving breakfast and lunch with pop-up dinners in the evenings. Seating Capacity of 15 and a Total Occupancy Load of 19.
HOURS OF OPERATION: Sunday through Saturday 7am – 10pm”
Happy to hear it’s still moving forward, anyway. Stay tuned.
