I think I know what restaurant you mean, but for the life of me I'm blanking on the name. (Maury's?) You'll find it on the west side of Eighth Street SE, about 200 feet south of E Street SE. (Close to the Eastern Market metro stop, and *very* close to the Marine Barracks.) I cannot report on how good it is. But I can attest the renovation was elaborate. (The space was not a restaurant in its prior life. Rather, it was a fly-infested grocery store that sold little more than giant bottles of malt liquor to the local street people.) So I figure at least the dining room should be nice. There is also a new Irish restaurant another 200 feet south on the same side of the street, across the street from the house where the Commandant of the Marine Corps lives. It would seem there is a thriving restaurant district growing up around the Eastern Market metro.
