Though we’ll never know, I wonder if the outcome would have been different if Marjorie Meek-Bradley stayed. Cleveland Park is no longer a dining destination (Palena and Dino making the point) but Top Chef celebrity becomes a draw. Without her, it was just another decent restaurant in a no longer exciting part of town.

Unfortunately, Cleveland Park has become a restaurant grave yard. One has to wonder how long Weigandt can survive. When I drove by the other week, I could not believe that a 7-11 had replaced Dino!

Bindaas is still a tough reservation

I think Weygandt will be ok. I think its a bit of a destination for people who like wine. Plus, people in the area don’t do out, they eat/drink at home.

It’s a shame with the potential of the neighborhood. I lived in Chinatown and would hop on the red line up to the CP and Van Ness stops for Weygandt and Domaine Storage (yeah, let’s not go there). I’d wished there were more bar and restaurant options on that strip of Connecticut. Always had good meals and times at Ripple as well. I’m sure they won’t miss Berg knocking over ice buckets in the middle of the restaurant.

Don’t joke, I feel kind of responsible here. The restaurant just never recovered after that night

Sunk by an ice-Berg?
