Hibiscus Cafe! Loved it. They also had Fish Wings and Tings. I think the same people opened a restaurant in Brixton UK.

I would add Palena and Pesce to the list. Also Komi, although that might have been a little later than 2000.

Palena and Komi as fresh college grads? Y’all must have funds

Georgia Browns. It’s still open, right?

I miss Cashion's.

Red Sage...

I was randomly thinking of their mushroom-goat cheese enchiladas the other day.

Au Pied de Couchon in Georgetown (that was more like the 90s). So fun to go there in the middle of the night!
