“Dear PoPville,

Any more word on Firelake Grill? The sign has disappeared. We’ve been waiting in anticipation for it’s opening.”

Very strange. I looked in the window and it seems ready to open. A few weeks ago I saw them interviewing folks so I thought it’d just be a matter of days before they opened. Anyone hear what’s going on?

After many years at 4231 Wisconsin Ave, NW Armand’s closed back in June 2012. Thanks to all who sent emails and tweets about the new development. A recent liquor license posted out front says a Nando’s Peri Peri will be taking over the space:

“Restaurant serving primarily chicken and side dishes with seating for 148 patrons and total occupancy load of 160. Sidewalk café with seating for 58 patrions.”

You can see Nando’s menu here.

Back in Jan. 2013 we also learned a Nando’s Peri Peri would be coming to the Navy Yard in the Boilermaker building.

2153 P Street, NW

On Monday we learned that Neisha would become a EurAsian restaurant in Tenleytown. Turns out Tenleytown will be their second location, which according to workers at P Street should open Apr. 16th.

Saigon Bistro at 2153 P St, NW changed ownership last week and reopened as Pho EurAsian. They’ll only be open for a couple of weeks before they close the P Street location for a complete gut renovation after Tenyleytown opens. A brief look at the menu, as the name implies, revealed tons of Pho options. We’ll be back for a proper judging in a few months.
