"After relocating from its original home in Cleveland Park in 2014, Dino’s lasted about five years on a stretch of Ninth Street NW known for its Ethiopian options. Owner Dean Gold — a big, bearded presence responsible for sourcing farm-fresh products and a variety of wines at exceptional price points — closed the restaurant this fall so he could retire and focus on his health." - Tierney Plumb
