Restaurant Three – Menu Revealed

We talked about the problems “Restaurant Three” was having getting its doors open last month, well things are looking a lot better now, as they are now hiring and have a menu put together.

A DC Metrocentric corespondent was dispatched to the site and it looks like the interior is done, and the outside patio is getting the finishing touches. 

This is one of the most prime locations for a restaurant in Clarendon (an entire new building was built over the old tiki hut/Greek restaurant on the corner of Garfield and Clarendon Blvd). It is interesting to note though that the space right on the other corner of the block (across from Harry’s Tap Room) is still unoccupied and has been for 2 years! Apparently the Class A commercial space is going for rates almost twice those for the area.

Dr. Dremo’s Arch Enemy

Though it has been a long time coming, the only thing left holding back 141 condo units plus retail at 2000 Wilson Boulevard, on the lot occupied by Taco Bell and Dr. Dremo’s Tap House in the Courthouse neighborhood, is “Market Conditions.” But construction will most likely begin in early 2008. 

The party may just last a little longer at Dremos if the housing market continues to stay course, and the owners have vowed to stay open until the building is knocked to the ground. Lets hope that’s later, rather than sooner, because the longer the area has easy access to Chocolate Donut Beer the better!  

Dupont Fractured Prune is No More

Yes, they are donuts, warm, yummy, fresh made to order donuts, and they are no longer available at the recently opened location of the Fractured Prune in Dupont Circle because they closed last week.

This leaves Krispy Kreme as the big kid left in the donut game, at least in the Dupont Circle area.

So where can you go to still get those fresh Fractured prune donuts? and Speculation as to why they closed in the first place… after the jump…

Restaurant Three… Atleast Three Months Late

Wondering what the new develpment on the corner of Garfield and Clarendon Blvd in place of the old (and short lived) tiki hut? Well the owners of Whitlows on Wilson are opening Restaurant Three which wil be a “upscale dining atmosphere with an affordable priced menu.”

Unfourtunatly those in Clarendon may be waiting for a while, the restaurant was slated to open in June, but things are now looking like late Fall.

Update: There is huge “Now Hiring” sign accross the front, things might be progressing faster than we think
