New Neighborhood Restaurant Opening Report – Toro Toro, Penn Commons, Cava Mezze Grill, And Jimmy John’s
Above: Cava Mezze Grill signage on H St NW
There are a few key developments we want to provide for Toro Toro, Penn Commons, Cava Mezze Grill, and Jimmy John’s (Gourmet Sandwiches). Thanks go out to our eagle eyed PQ Living readers for pointing out some of these developments.
1) Toro Toro (1300 I St NW) – Opening March 31 – This Richard Sandoval restaurant will be a Pan Latin steakhouse facing north towards Franklin Square. Preliminary menus and pricing have been provided to the press already so you can check those out here and here. The outfit will have two levels with the main dining room on the ground level and a basement second floor space that will be more like a club/lounge. Lunch and dinner service is planned to begin on March 31 with brunch starting in April. [Toro Toro website]
2) Penn Commons (6th and H St NW area) – Opening Summer 2014 – This Passion Food Hospitality group restaurant will be patterned after its first incarnation in Foggy Bottom, District Commons. We do know it will have a “long and pronounced bar” according to the press release. [Passion Food Hospitality Group website & District Commons website & menu]
3) Cava Mezze Grill (707 H St NW) – Opening Summer 2014 – This DC area chain will open in Summer of 2014 in the former Capital Q space that has been vacant since summer 2012. Think Zaytinya flavored food meeting Chiptole line assembly. This concept is loved by many of our friends so it makes sense for it to open in the food mecca of DC. [Cava Mezze Grill website & locator & menu]
4) Jimmy John’s (1208 G St NW) – Now Open – This sandwich chain shop is now open across from Macy’s in the 1200 block of G St NW. [Jimmy Johns website & locator & menu]
