“This showed up on the window at Swampoodle yesterday. Is this a joke? Seems like city departments and council staff are clearly not speaking to each other. This is so frustrating, especially because the owner said he is very close to opening.”

Yesterday we mentioned two new restaurants coming to The Line DC hotel in Adams Morgan. A very, very good source tells me that those new restaurants are coming from none other than Maketto/Toki Underground’s Erik Bruner-Yang and Baltimore’s Woodberry Kitchen’s Spike Gjerde. If this pans out this’ll be huge and a spectacular compliment to the already awesome Mintwood Place down the block. Updates when/if more is known. In the meantime – keep talking sh*t about Adams Morgan…

From a press release:
“Long Shot Hospitality, the management group behind Sixth Engine, Town Hall and The Dubliner, is pleased to announce plans to open The Salt Line in Spring 2017. The waterfront restaurant, located at Dock79 (79 Potomac Avenue, S.E.) in the revitalized Capitol Riverfront Neighborhood, will feature a New England-inspired menu in a casual and relaxed 3,500 square-foot space with ample outdoor dining and an outdoor riverfront bar.
Seafood – not to mention a prominently featured raw bar – will be at the heart of Chef Kyle Bailey’s culinary program at The Salt Line. The menu will offer a selection of straightforward New England classics, along with Bailey’s own interpretations on the regional fare, and a few Chesapeake Bay-influenced specials. Chef Kyle Bailey’s affinity for whole-animal butchery and charcuterie will translate nicely to his plans for The Salt Line, which will include items such as seafood sausages, smoked and cured fish, and a variety of crudo. Bailey also plans to work with local oyster farms to create a proprietary oyster for the restaurant.
The Salt Line will also showcase a regional craft beer selection and a creative cocktail program that will be the centerpieces for the outdoor bar located along the riverfront. The Salt Line plans to serve dinner daily and weekend brunch upon opening. (more…)

Thanks to a reader for sending: “Another bummer on G street.”
G Street’s Dupont location closed in January of 2015 (RIP Jonathan’s Gourmet, Long Live Olivia’s). Now the oddly named G Street Food can be found at their 1030 15th Street, NW.
