Venegas Has Closed. New Restaurant Coming

The Vengas Prime Filet in Fulton has closed, but there is a big sign on the window saying that a new restaurant is coming soon.

Anyone know what new restaurant?  Anyone know the plan?

There has been talk that Robert Gadsby would take over the space in Maple Lawn.  After eating just a bit at his new Laurel barbecue place, I'd be happy to try out a restaurant that he runs.  I'd heard that folks have had a hard time with the space and the Maple Lawn rent.  I'm hoping for whoever makes the next run.

  1. I think a restaurant in the vein of any of these http://www.greatamericanrestaurants.com/

    esp Mike's, Artie's or the Carlyle would work well in this area or Columbia. We ate there numerous times when living in NoVA.

    I second, third and fourth a Great American Restaurant. Loud usually but consistently good menus that are family friendly and can move people through at peak times. Great idea for that area.

  4. A Houstons/Cheesecake type Rest.. will be at that corner soon , "Paella" will be the signature dish.

  5. This will be the 4th take over on that corner. They need to open an all American type restaurant , forget the fancy and high $$$ fare.

  6. I'm so disappointed, I called the restaurant in June after hearing rumors of it closing and was told there was nothing imminent.... meanwhile I have a $100 gift card that is likely worthless...

  7. The new restaurant is The Grille at Maple Lawn. Reasonably priced and great atmosphere.

  8. The new restaurant is nothing like Houstons/Cheesecake, actually it's quite disappointing. That location is somewhat of a death wish for restaurateurs. A Houstons would be great. I miss Houstons.
