Check out the menu here.

From a press release:

“Washington, D.C. chef Haidar Karoum, formerly the executive chef at D.C. favorites Proof, Estadio and Doi Moi, announces January 5 as the opening date of Chloe, his first solo restaurant project. Chloe, a showcase of Karoum’s international culinary perspective, combines two approaches to dining under one roof: a sophisticated, contemporary dinner service and a chef-driven casual carryout lunch that blends the chic with the convenient. Chloe is located in the newly completed Arris building at 1331 4th Street, SE in Washington’s Navy Yard neighborhood. Chloe will debut its dinner service first, followed by lunch and brunch shortly thereafter.

“As I’ve developed Chloe’s menu, I’ve kept it open to all the styles and flavors I’ve worked with over my career,” Karoum said. “My experiences, both personal and professional, are international, and I draw inspiration from personal travels, family traditions and a career spent in some of the best kitchens in D.C. But binding it all together will be a sense of practiced hospitality that anyone who dined at my previous restaurants will recognize.”

202 M Street, SE

Well happy Wednesday indeed!! In scuttlebutt from a tipster who has a 100% accuracy rating (please no jinx, knock wood, knock wood) – the best pizza in D.C. is opening another branch in Navy Yard. I hear the former Il Parco space will become none other than a Wiseguy Pizza. But that’s not all. Those who remember the Parco/Park Tavern space remember there is a nice bar space so expect some serious beer options. In addition to the pizza expect some gelato and coffee options as well. Updates when confirmation comes.

Located in the ground floor of the F1RST Residences within the vibrant Capitol Riverfront neighborhood, RASA has been a culinary project in the making since co-founders Rahul and Sahil were attending high school in Montgomery County. The sons of celebrated hospitality veterans and longtime business partners Chef K.N. Vinod and Surfy Rahman of Indique and Bombay Bistro, Rahul and Sahil grew up in their family’s vibrant restaurants, and were quite literally born into the hospitality industry. Growing up in restaurants, they quickly realized that many people had preconceived notions about Indian cuisine, and at a young age began dreaming about ways to make the meals they grew up loving more accessible to a larger audience of diners.
