Title: oh what a night!
Post by: brix821 on May 11, 2010, 07:07:52 PM
My new restaurant opened tonight after 2 years in the construction phase, 4 mos. of finishing building out, a lot of stress and beer! While we are still getting our feet under us and dealing with growing pains (after 15 years of being in the same old spot & 7 under my helm). I couldn't be anymore happy with the way it went...now if the VA ABC would just get me damn license to me..... if you are interested....KAPOWwww.821caferva.com (http://www.821caferva.com)

I'm going to try and stop by as I make my way to DC in early June.  Mind if my pup comes in with me?  ;)  You could make her a special Darmah (hot) dog.   [thumbsup]

Congratulations!
My fiancee and I have done a little research into possibly opening a French restaurant, so I've got a little understanding of how much work this took you. It's an awesome accomplishment, and I hope it takes off for you.

Congratulations!  The menu looks like a solid selection of comfort food with some upscaling -  I guess I am saying it looks very "'tizing" ;)  Unfortunately, I am not within driving distance, but I will be sure to stop in if I ever am.

glad to report that I am and getting my ass kicked on the regular! week one has interesting, to say the least, but with every passing day we get a lil bit more of our groove back.   On a side note, my family is out of town til monday...I feel like this is the 1st time I have been 100% alone in a bit. Sounds like a perfect time for some beers, plugging in the amp, maybe sleeping til 9 am  and a good ole fashioned monster romp!
