“Dear PoPville,
Little Serow was an amazing restaurant that sadly closed its doors a few years ago. I still think about it. Is there anywhere in the DC metro area that offers a similar dining experience? Both the food, northern Thai, and the space/decor/service were just pitch perfect. Miss that place so much.”

Some serious allegations from the office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced a lawsuit against Talea Ristorante and its owner, Hamza Hadani, for systematically stealing employees’ wages and violating other laws that protect District workers. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that Talea and Hadani pay their employees less than half of the tipped minimum wage, fail to ensure tipped workers’ take-home pay meets the regular minimum wage, and deny workers paid sick leave and overtime pay, even as some of them work 70-hour weeks. The investigation also found that Hadani prohibits workers from discussing their pay with one another and then retaliates against those who protest their mistreatment by threatening and firing them.

Thanks to Analya for sending the great news about Fraiche at Tívoli: “I was happy to notice a new restaurant coming to the old Creole space on 14th street.”
Fraiche’s website says:
“Fraiche (French for Fresh) is a fresh take on culinary fusion with inspiration from multiple cultures (including French, Cajun/Southern American, and Caribbean). This is also a fresh take on the historic architecture of the venue, which was once a theater. Fraiche is designed to be a non-pretentious culinary destination with a nod to upscale dining without the stuffiness. The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind! (more…)
