The Bozzuto Group, a Greenbelt, MD-based real estate services company, announced today that an independently-owned restaurant from the team behind Meridian Pint and Smoke & Barrel has signed on to join its Monroe Street Market development at the Brookland-CUA metro station in Washington, DC.
The yet-to-be-named restaurant will provide a comfortable, family-friendly neighborhood-gathering place featuring a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere, casual fine dining derived from a chef-driven menu, and a selection of craft beers.
"We believe that an establishment from this team is a perfect addition to the mix of retail at Monroe Street Market," said Toby Bozzuto, president, The Bozzuto Group. "The group's creative vision mirrors our own and we are thrilled to welcome its contemporary, casual fine dining concept. We look forward to the restaurant's success in the Brookland neighborhood."
Expected to open mid-2014, the restaurant will encompass approximately 4,200 square feet at the end of the Arts Walk in the center of Brookland Works, the industrial-chic apartment and artist community at Monroe Street Market. The retailer will feature a contemporary storefront with exposed brick, distressed wood, a partially open kitchen, cozy booths and a muted color-scheme accented by dark wood tones. Cafe seating will be available for guests to sit and enjoy al fresco dining while admiring art from the open-air artist studios. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner services, while also providing brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
The executive chef-driven menu will focus on elevated pub standards, internationally inspired dishes, and will provide an ample selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The selection of unique, craft beers will be primarily draft and will highlight a range of styles, geographic, and flavor profiles.
With a commitment to environmental responsibility, the restaurant will utilize all natural ingredients, high efficiency, low impact heating, air conditioning, solar water heating, and composting. Bike racks will be provided in front of the restaurant to support urban cycling.
In early September, Monroe Street Market announced Barnes & Noble @ Catholic University as the anchor retailer for the project, which will be located in the Cornerstone Building. The retail leasing is being handled by H&R Retail.
Monroe Street Market's leasing office is now open at 701 Monroe Street NE, Washington, DC 20017. For more information, visit www.monroestreetmarket.com or call (866) 339-1478.
