We have just been informed by Chris Donatelli that Donatelli Development, Inc. has just signed a lease with Eatwelldc to bring a new restaurant to the Kenyon Square condominium and retail development.  The new restuarant will likely be named "The Heights" and will occupy a 3,100 square feet at the north end of the Kenyon Square building (14th St and Kenyon St NW).  It will also have 1,600 square feet of outdoor dining space.

The Heights will be Eatwelldc's fourth restaurant in Washington, D.C.  It currently operates two restaurants in Logan Circle, Merkado Kitchen and Logan Tavern.  Eatwelldc also runs Grillfish near Dupont Circle.
