DC Fire and EMS reported at 4:25am August 12th: “Update Working Fire 3200 block Grace St NW. #DCsBravest located fire in restaurant kitchen area first floor rear. Visible fire extinguished. Opening up and checking for extension. No injuries.”
Reverie‘s owner Johnny Spero wrote on his IG:
“I can’t begin to explain the range of emotions I’ve encountered this weekend. The one thing that hit me harder then everything going inside my head is the insane outpouring of support from the DC community and beyond. The fire was more devastating than the original story we had posted. The fire and smoke damage is extensive and we will have to completely rebuild. We’ve been saying from day 1 we aren’t going anywhere and this won’t stop us, it will only make us better. We are going to continue to challenge ourselves and push forward. My family and team are thankful for every single message and call and I will keep everyone updated on our progress.”
A GoFundMe has been launched and already raised almost $42,000 as of this morning. The fundraiser’s goal is set at $200,000:
“We are raising money for our colleague and extraordinary friend, Johnny Spero whose flagship restaurant, Reverie, was lost after a brutal fire last night (August 11th). (more…)
