Boundary Road Opens Monday

DSC_0019
I had meant to put up a post last week when I took these photos, but I got really busy. Now I'm hearing from multiple sources that Boundary Road (414 H Street NE) will be up and running Monday. I will try to add details from my notes soon. For now you can enjoy more photos and the full menu after the jump.

No beef options?

The likelihood of confusion with Boundary Stone 2 miles away is immense.

According to the website, you can make reservations starting this Friday...

Boundary Street said...

Are Boundary Stone and Boundary Road related? Same owners?

Place looks awesome. Very nice job on the interior. Best of luck Boundary Road.

Interior looks great!
Tough menu though for those of us who don't eat meat. :(

I agree what about beef options on the menu .

inked said...

10:22 & 6:28,
The entire menu will change on a very frequent basis depending on what is available, in season, and very fresh. I'm sure you'll see some beef offerings at some point. Until then the bison meatloaf sounds delicious.

Looks like that was a "placeholder" menu anyway. Site's still being updated when I go to that tab.

I stopped by there last evening and someone inside said they were opening this weekend for the neighborhood. But, the sign on the windows said opening Monday. It looked great inside.

Unknown said...

The website allowed me to make a reservation for today...we'll see if they're open.

inked said...

10:42,
I think that might be a website error. They are NOT open to the public yet. Reservations should start Monday. If the site is letting you make one for tonight I'd call to check on that.

Unknown said...

They are taking limited reservations for the next few days as a soft opening.

inked said...

Unknown,
Cool. Thanks for the info.

i'm going to open a bar called boundary stone road.

Just got back from dinner. They've done an amazing job with the interior. I had 2 cocktails, both great. Food was good, despite a couple of expected but minor missteps given that they haven't really opened yet. This place is going to blow the eff up.

Kiki said...

While they aren't open yet, if last night was any indication, they are set to be pretty amazing. The staff was great and very personable and the food was super yum without being overdone or complicated.

They really are genuinely interested in feedback so I hope people take the time to chat with them and offer opinions before they rush to the blogs to complain.

Thanks for the great meal guys.

Had dinner last night during the soft opening...Pierogis were FANTASTIC, Arepas tasty as well. And service was actually pretty good for a debut night - attentive, everything came out in a logical order with no hangups. Decor is fantastic. My only negative is that, as we've all come to expect from H Street, it's a bit overpriced for the volume of food you get. The wine list could stand a few more lower-priced options as well, though what they had was very good...there just isn't much choice on the low end.

All in all, a great addition to H Street and it's nice to get another option that focuses on quality rather than kitch as their draw.

Had dinner last night during the soft opening. At first they said they couldn't accomodate us, so we walked out, but the hostess came out and ran across the street telling us to come back! They seated us at the communal "harvest" table- which was very appropriate for the giant full moon rising in the eastern sky.

Service was fantastic! And the ambiance is amazing! The food was just "fine." I'm not sure how you elevate rustic food, but the chicken needs to somehow be better than the chicken I can make at home. The pork chop was similarly "fine" - not too different that what one would make at home.

I thought the prices were reasonable-- for DC, anwyay. Similar to H Street Country Club, but a MUCH better dining experience.

All in all, an exciting new addition to H Street!

Portion size control

it would be so cool though if smaller portions meant smaller prices

Anonymous said...

Agreed on the wish that smaller sizes meant smaller prices...$10 for a big bowl with a small lump of pierogis seemed a bit much, when there were really only about 4 half-dollar sized little pasta pockets deep down in the bowl. DELICIOUS pasta pockets, mind you, but at $2.50 each??

heck yes, sounds amazing. thanks!
