“Dear PoPville,
My moms turns 80 this spring and I am looking for recommendations for a restaurant that would be able to accommodate a party of about 15-20 people that would also offer true gluten-free options (due to celiac’s disease…not just a preference to eat gluten-free… in other words, no cross-contamination as it is a true food allergy). Thanks!”

From a press release:
“Chef Michael Rafidi, one of Washington, D.C.’s most promising culinary talents, announces a February 20 opening for Albi, his Navy Yard restaurant with a new perspective on traditional Levantine cuisine.

Rafidi’s highly anticipated debut restaurant is located at 1346 4th Street SE in The Yards development, offering a main dining room of 76 seats, a 10-seat hearth table, a seasonal patio, and private dining space within 4,000-square-feet.
