Back in Nov. 2012 we learned that a new restaurant called Baby Wale would be opening by the Convention Center at 1124 9th St, NW. There was a “Good Food Coming Soon Sign” posted for ages:

Thanks to a reader for letting me know that new signage had been posted announcing a June 2013 opening. Stay tuned!

Thanks to David for sending the photo above. Back in Sept. 2012 we learned that Thally would be coming to 1316 9th Street, NW. From their liquor license application:

“New Restaurant. A modern, energetic bistro serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Background music will be provided. Sidewalk Cafe with 10 seats. Occupancy Load of 99.”

I spoke with owner Sherman Outhuok who tells me that the build-out should take approximately 12 weeks with an anticipated late June opening. Sherman is currently a general manager/bartender at the great Columbia Heights’ spot Maple located at 3418 11th St, NW. He tells me that he and his partner chef Ron Tanaka (formerly of New Heights in Woodley Park) plan on opening a very comfortable neighborhood spot serving contemporary American fare. There will also be a good selection of wine by the glass (24), draft beers, and cocktails to compliment the food. They plan to keep the place casual and at a lower price point than some of the other newly opened restaurants.

And for those curious about the name – Thally comes from a carriage house located in the alley that was named Tally-Ho back in the day. That and Sherman’s daughter is nick-named Tally – thus Thally was born.

Stay tuned for updates on the menu and the space as they get closer to opening.

When Table first opened a couple months ago, they made a big deal about not accepting reservations. But sometimes popularity and lack of waiting space will change your mind. From an email:

As of today, it is possible to make reservations through the TableDC.com website. The restaurant will continue to welcome walk-in guests as well.

The decision came from the high degree of guest demand, coupled with the lack of space in the restaurant for waiting parties. Chef has heard from guests and taken action to respond.

So, guests are recommended (but not required) to make reservations.
