Eagerly Anticipating Restaurant Eve
It was slated to open in February, has been delayed a few weeks, so not quite open yet.

I've seen the location, it's just off King Street a few blocks from the water. The chef ran Bistro Bis, of which I'm quite fond (btw, best value brunch in the city) and was sous chef at Vidalia 
.
I understand that the produce will be among the freshest in all of DC, with several top local farmers among the investors.
Definitely will be worth trying, I look forward to it later in the month.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">In his 13 years in Washington, Dublin-born Cathal (the “t” is silent) Armstrong has worked in the kitchens of New Heights, Cities, Gabriel, and Vidalia and for the past four years has been chef at Bistro Bis. Now Armstrong and his wife, Meshelle, are striking out on their own with Restaurant Eve, named for their daughter. It is slated to open in February at 110 S. Pitt St., in Old Town Alexandria (703-706-0450).
Restaurant Eve will offer two dining experiences. In the more formal, 32-seat Chef’s Tasting Room, Armstrong will offer daily-changing five- and nine-course tasting menus priced at $65 and $90. The 90-seat Bistro and bar features a lounge and brick fireplace, and there’s a 30-seat garden terrace. Its menu, inspired by Armstrong home cooking, will focus on local farm products, including some from Troy Farm in Westmoreland County grown to Armstrong’s specifications. Bistro prices range from $7 for appetizers such as a terrine of rabbit and foie gras to $24 for main courses such as braised beef short ribs or bouillabaisse.
The Bistro is open weekdays for lunch and Monday through Saturday for dinner. The Chef’s Tasting Room is open Tuesday through Friday for lunch and Tuesday through Saturday for dinner.</font>
