Washington, D.C. - July 09, 2007

The Proof Is in the Pudding

Proof Restaurant Opens

Date: July 9, 2007
Case Number: T7RV80
Description: Suspect was first noticed on the corner of G and 8th Streets. Was beckoning passersby with promises of Modern American cuisine and an extensive selection of wine.

Suspect has been offering people a full selection of charcuterie and cheese, plus small and large plates with options like tuna tartare, risotto, and mussel chowder. The agenda is to hook the going-out crowd with the promise of an eventual late-night menu (grilled cheese, scrambled eggs).

Suspect is trying to entice citizens with more than 30 wines by the glass available in three pours (two, six, and eight and a half ounces) and claims of a 4,000-bottle wine cellar and champagne trolley.

Individuals are encouraged to plop down at the long bar, relax on a leather banquet in the lounge, or take over a comfy booth in the main dining area.

D.C. residents should proceed with caution and keep an eye out for Proof.

Proof, 775 G Street NW, at 8th Street (202-737-7663).
