Eatsplace, the “pop-uppery” or restaurant incubator located at 3607 Georgia Ave NW, has announced a new restaurant: Capital Taste Presents: Delilah, which uses spring vegetables, ingredients from local farmers, seafood and meat. Sounds like a tasty, fresh and healthy place, and there are lots of vegetarian or vegan options.
Previously the spot has hosted a Southern restaurant, an Asian dumpling house, a biscuit restaurant and more.
Here’s more from them, and here’s their website.
