BLDG5 at the perkins overpass

Good food, cool atmosphere, but very limited menu. The bar is nice and there were lots of hot moms(no pics) walking around when I went for lunch last week.

Where is this in relation to Kalurah Street Grill? I was looking at the website the other day and couldnt figure which building under the overpass this is located.

Interesting. I think the menu is pretty varied. I think everything has been excellent - nothing even somewhat lackluster. Just all awesome. Atmosphere is awesome too. Easy spot just to go drink if you want.

Will be interesting to see how K Street fares since I already know they have trouble getting that placed filled.

I've been 3 times and have had:

Roasted Tomato Soup (not my photo) - Good, not too creamy. More like a marinara.

Caesar-ish Salad - I'm a sucker for caesar salads, and this one has corn and hearts of palm in it. Plus it was dressed perfectly. Not drowning in dressing, but no plain leaves either.

Roasted red pepper/provolone/lemon saffron ailoi sandwich (chicken added) - Awesome, but I'd have added steak. This was someone else's I tried.

Little Italy Board (not my photo) - My friend's favorite thing on the board was the polenta. Mine was hands down the meatballs in marinara. Best meatballs I've had. But everything on the board is great.





Two of the spread/dips that they serve with bread: Bacon jam with melted brie (holy hell, so rich and awesome) + Peppadew jam with havarti (also great, a tad spicy but interesting)

Shakshuka with naan - This was more like a shakshuka-esq spread (it had chickpeas and was like a hummus rather than the shakshuka breakfast recipe you often see) but it was great. This came in a much larger bowl so it was a ton of food.

Crostini Grazing Board - Damn, I don't even remember what was on this thing. I assume it was an assortment of the spreads/dips they offer individually, plus some meats and cheeses. I had been drinking on that visit.

I see myself getting the dips/spreads every time, with a side of meatballs. That's my type of food anyway and they were all so good.

Here are some pics of the menu during soft opening, but I notice they're a tad different from last week when I went:

four of us split the little Italy, steak and potatoes and harvest boards (all for 2 each). Just incredible eating

10/10 would devour again.
run, don’t walk to this place

I guess this won't be a hidden gem for long. Looks like an amazing date night place. Do you need reservations or is there no problem getting a table?

we got there at 6 and waited an hour at the bar. i think they only take reservations for large parties. we could have been seated immediately outside but it was pretty chilly

by the time we left there was a line out the door
