"Agora, a Mediterranean restaurant, is opening a new 4,000-square-foot eatery in Tysons Corner, Northern Virginia. The restaurant will feature a mezzanine level, a 12-seat chef’s bar, a charcoal grill, and a brick oven. The menu will include Mediterranean dishes such as kibbeh nayeh, grilled octopus, and braised short ribs. The bar will offer cocktails with infused Raki, rose liqueur, and aromatic spices, along with a selection of Mediterranean and local beers and wines. Agora was originally opened in May 2010 in Dupont Circle under the direction of executive chef Ghassan Jarouj." - Tierney Plumb
