Eola on P St. Opens Today

Eola, a new restaurant on P St. between 20th and 21st (where Mark and Orlando’s used to be), opens today.  Eola serves contemporary American cuisine, and looks to be more upscale than most places on P St.  It’s likely the only restaurant with a tasting menu, anyway.  (Except, of course, for Obelisk.)  I peeked in yesterday and it looks comfortable and inviting.  The walls are a soft yellow and and feature photography from local artists.  Eola is owned by chef Daniel Singhofen, who is new to the D.C. restaurant scene.
