Dino's Grotto Opens Tonight, with Soft-Shells

Dino's Grotto, the reinvention of the former Dino restaurant in Cleveland Park, opens its doors this evening in Shaw.

There's an extensive wine list from owner Dean Gold, and they'll be serving up soft-shell crabs for this evening's opening. Status: Opening tonight (5 p.m). 1914 9th St. NW; website.
