The Assembly Food Hall Opens Above the Rosslyn Metro With QR Code Ordering - Eater DC

"A new food hall that aims to attract remote workers opens next week inside the renovated complex above the Rosslyn Metro station in Arlington. Officially debuting Tuesday, August 3, the Assembly boasts 29,000 square feet of dining space across two floors and an outdoor terrace. The 625-seat venue presents customers with a single menu that pulls from six vendors. There’s also a gourmet market loaded with grab-and-go options and a yet-to-open oyster bar. Similar to Rosslyn’s other food hall, Happy Eatery (nee Happy Endings Eater), the Assembly (1700 N. Moore Street) does not rely on any outside vendors. Chicago-based DMK Restaurants manages the operation, introducing six different brands developed by two chefs. Brian Hutson, a James Beard Award semifinalist in 2015 for his work at now-closed Boltwood in Evanston, Illinois, is the group’s corporate chef. Assembly executive chef Cameron Cousin comes from now-shuttered Max Fox Brewing Company in Falls Church. Unlike other food halls where diners might wander from stall to stall, the Assembly will have hosts seat customers at tables where they can order food directly to their seats using a QR code." - Kalina Newman
