They've got a place on upper Connecticut and also one on Eye St. near 20th.  The latter has a different name, which I've forgotten, but it's next door to the Indian restaurant.  Something like Eye St. Cafe. We've been eating at the Taverna for years (not continuously :)), since their kids were small.  I think that what's happening is that as the kids grow up they get a restaurant of their own as a birthday present.  At least it seems that way.

I don't think that's the same place.

      i just moved to that area, but from what i've heard from the
people who've been there for awhile, it just closed.  there's the kabab masala indian restaurant right next door, which has some pretty good food along the same lines; duke kebab house down the road is also pretty good (oasis rd. and little river turnpike).

      enjoying kebabs,
      sweth.

  because sometimes chutzpah doesn't cut it.
