Surviving the Flood

It has been an incredible time surviving the "Great Flood of 2011 at The Washington Harbour".
As you may well know the walls were not entirely put up and the Potomac River wreaked havoc on the Harbour, putting the restaurants under 5 feet of water ,INSIDE!
The cost is anticipated to reach 100 million to restore all the damage and loss of income.
This weekend the walls go down and the Riverside Grille and Tony& Joe's will have the bars open and letting guests view the river once again.
My hat off the Greg Casten and his incredible team for working so hard to get the Restaurants back. " It has been a huge disaster and we have worked hard to take care of our people and try to get them back to work asap"says Mr Casten, partner in the three restaurants Tony & Joe's, Nick's Riverside Grill and Cabanas.
This has been first and worst flood the Washington Harbour has seen in the twenty five years since it was built.
The Roche Salon was left undamaged but we lost a week and are still trying to accommadate our clients in spite of the difficulties we seen daily.
So come down to the Harbour this weekend and support the most beautiful spot in Georgetown and Washington DC for that fact.

Peace*Loe,
Dennis Roche
