Newland, the Beuchert’s Saloon team’s new restaurant in the space where Montmartre used to be, will serve a Mid-Atlantic cuisine informed by memories of Chef Andrew Markert’s world travel. Partner and spokesperson Nathan Berger says he is hoping for a soft opening in three or four weeks.
Zoca and Crush, from the Harvest Tide (across from Eastern Market) owners, will be an up-scale Mexican style restaurant in the former Stanton & Greene location. Partner Enrique Somoza looks forward to a soft opening the last week of February and full service the first week of March.
The recommendations go to the full ANC6B at their monthly meeting on February 8, where both are expected to be endorsed.
