ABC Board revokes Club Velvet’s liquor license

The Virginia ABC Board made the decision on Thursday to revoke Club Velvet’s liquor license based on evidence that Moore allowed underage drinking, public nudity, drug use, consumption of alcohol in unauthorized areas of the club and allowed sexual acts to be performed on club customers.

Moore has 30 days to appeal the decision with the ABC and can continue to serve alcohol during that time. The transcript of the ABC hearing is available here (warning: graphic).

The Boathouse and Gutenberg named two of the years best new restaurants

Dana Craig’s Best Restaurants of 2009 gives props to both The Boathouse at Rockett’s Landing and (the new) Cafe Gutenberg as two of “the best new local restaurants of 2009″. Speaking of Gutenberg she says:

This Shockoe Bottom café has a tumultuous history — from Tropical Storm Gaston’s devastation to almost closing last year. But this year saw Cafe Gutenberg reborn. It came back strong to define itself as a bona fide dining destination with a menu that celebrates the bounty of its neighbor, the 17th Street Farmers’ Market. Whether it be a local mushroom panino with scrambled eggs and Cabot Cheddar or grilled brats with ale-braised sauerkraut, it’s hard to find something not to like.

have you tried Dora’s Brazilian Grill?

House of Marinara eats at Dora’s Brazilian Grill and gives the newly-opened restaurant a solid review.

They have the traditional rodizio (all you can eat meat-fest), but they also have other entrees in case someone in your party is not a true carnivore.

two stars for Aztek Grill

Dana Craig reviews Aztek Grill, Shockoe Bottom’s newest Mexican restaurant, in today’s RTD.

On the surface, everything about Aztek Grill, the new “modern Mexican” spot in Shockoe Bottom, seems ready to offer an affordable yet unique dining experience. However, kinks in service and a less-than-intuitive menu left much to be desired.[via]
