1708 L Street, NW
Stone Fish Grill opened in the former Balletto space at 17th and L Street, NW back in 2013.
From Stonefish’s Website:
A few weeks ago we learned that Naan and Beyond was moving from L Street to Vermont Ave in the former Juice Joint space.
Apparently they’ve also opened a food truck in the interim:
1001 Connecticut Ave, NW
Ken reports:
“Signage has gone up for a new Smoothie King in Farragut North in the building near the Connecticut/K entrance. This is next to the Starbucks and the Pret.”
RIP that old magazine/newspaper store – what was it called again? News World.

Thanks to Meghan for sending word about another new Joe & The Juice location coming to downtown. The first one is coming to the former CVS at 15th and K Street, NW. For those not familiar check out their menus here.
Stay tuned for updates as both locations get closer to opening.

Thanks to Jessica for reporting:
“FYI, Zen Taco opened today.
Had the taco chinos; I’d give it a solid B. The same owners and staff as Custom Fuel, which is nice to see. Clearly some first day kinks to work out, but should be a great addition to the neighborhood. And their prices seem a bit lower than the menu online for the NYC location.
Also – they have frozen margaritas!”

Thanks to Grant for sending word that the liquor license placards for Pisco Y Nazca Gastro Bar have now been affixed to the former Mackey’s space proper:
“New Restaurant, serving Spanish cuisine. Total Occupancy Load is 230, with seating for 230.”
Their website for a Florida location says:
“Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar adds a modern twist to traditional Peruvian cuisine. Inspired by Peru’s top ceviche eateries, this new Miami restaurant serves up bold-flavored dishes, unique cocktails and a vast selection of local and international beers.”
Check out their menu too.
STAY TUNED.

That was fast. Just last week we learned that Bombay Express had abruptly closed after only 8 months. Next up – Daily Pizza & Kabob:
1829 M Street, NW
A reader reports:
“BOMBAY EXPRESS is permanently closed according to GOOGLE. Only lasted 8 months.”
When I called to confirm the phone number was no longer working either.
Ed. Note: This is the former House of Kabob space. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

Sounds like Tadich Grill may be in trouble. A tipster sends word that they’ve closed. Oddly their D.C. Facebook page posted something at 11am this morning:
“The holidays may be over, but we’re still full of cheer…and lobster rolls!
Please call 202-638-1849 or click bit.ly/2fBKzdJ to reserve!”
But when you call the number (where the restaurant is supposed to open at 11:30am) goes to voicemail and the Facebook has no mention of “Fire Protection System” problems.
Thanks to Rachel for sending this note on the door:
San Fransisco’s Tadich Grill opened up in the former Ten Penh space back in late 2015. STAY TUNED.
