Break Out the Sake (and Tequila)!

It's official, chef Kaz Okochi (Kaz Sushi Bistro) tells me. He and Richard Sandoval (Zengo) intend to open a new place to drink and dine, a 5,000-square-foot Latin-Asian establishment north of Logan Circle, in September. They're calling their fusion destination Masa 14.

The two business partners plan to meet in Washington next week to plot a menu and discuss a chef for the project, which also includes restaurateur Latif Guler of Jack's in Dupont Circle.

Grill's Night Out at Poste

To take advantage of one of the most enticing outdoor restaurant spaces in Washington, chef Robert Weland of Poste Moderne Brasserie downtown will be firing up his new wood-burning grill and inaugurating "Poste Roasts" on the garden terrace of the Hotel Monaco this month.

Diners who sign up for the family-style dinners, which feature meats from area farmers, will get to eat the meal on another recent addition to the patio: a handcrafted table made from teak and Virginia stone.

Military Personnel: O'Connell Wants You!

A recent uptick in active-duty service members making reservations at the Inn at Little Washington prompted Patrick O'Connell, chef-owner of the four-star destination, to offer them and their parties a 30 percent discount.

From July 1 through August, military personnel can feast at the inn Mondays through Thursdays for $103.60 a person instead of the regular $148. (The discount does not apply to alcohol.)
