PoPville: Red Hen opening today, Tuesday, 04-16-2013

Much thanks to Dan Silverman and his team at PoPville for reporting today's opening of Red Hen at 1st & Seaton Place NW, northwest corner.  This PoPville post is from two days ago -- getting caught up here!

PoP Preview – Red Hen Opening Tuesday in Bloomingdale

1st and Seaton Pl, NW

After Le Diplomate opened last week I thought it was going to be a long time until we saw another new restaurant home run. It only took one week. For those who don’t recall, back in Nov. 2012 Red Hen applied for a liquor licenseexplaining the space as:

“New neighborhood restaurant with Italian roots. Seating capacity of 78, Occupancy Load of 99, and Sidewalk Café with 46 seats.”

   

Red Hen opens this Tuesday in Bloomingdale and looks amazing. Later this week their menu will be available on their website. For now have a look at the amazing transformation of the space.
