Chef Nick Stefanelli’s Le Clou and Other D.C. Restaurant Closures to Know | Eater DC

"Less than two years after opening off the lobby of The Morrow Washington DC (Curio Collection by Hilton), chef Nicholas Stefanelli’s first French restaurant quietly fizzled out about four weeks ago. Stefanelli leaned into his classically trained French foundation at the modern brasserie, which served abundant seafood towers, frisée salads, Hudson Valley foie gras, escargot, frog legs, steak frites, French onion soup, delicate trout, and plenty of Champagne. The gilded dining room plans to reboot service under a to-be-named chef by the end of the year while the contract is finalized." - Tierney Plumb
