Now Open, Virginia Edition: Eventide, Brabo

Northern Virginia welcomes two new restaurants today, Eventide in Arlington and Brabo by Robert Wiedmaier in Old Town.

Eventide offers two floors (with a rooftop to come) and dishes like bison carpaccio with ancho chocolate mole, Malbec-braised lamb shank, and lobster tagliatelle. The GOG Blog has more details and a few photos.

Wiedmaier's Brabo and adjacent Brabo Tasting Room feature the chef's Belgian-American cooking. Read more about the two concepts in this previous Metrocurean post.

Meanwhile, a NoVa favorite, Ray's the Steaks, reopened this week in new digs at 2300 Wilson Blvd.

Keep up-to-date on recent openings and planned restaurants with Metrocurean's Coming Soon and New Openings lists.

Eventide's menu sounds amazing! And that rooftop will be great once the weather really warms up. Good thing it's metro accessible.

I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt.

Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...
