Restaurant Closes at Mosaic District: Report

All signs point to the closure of restaurant Gypsy Soul at the Mosaic District in Merrifield, according to a report by Eater DC.

In June, the owners of the Mosaic District were trying to evict the Gypsy Soul restaurant, saying the restaurant owners owed them more than $250,000, the Washington Post reported.

The Post reported the lawsuit was filed to evict Gypsy Soul, owned by chef R.J. Cooper and his wife Judith Cooper, by Eskridge, a company partly owned by Edens, the developers of Mosaic.

There are several plans coming for the Gypsy Soul space, Eater DC reports:

• A pop-up preview of Requin, a new Southwest DC restaurant specializing in fish. The endeavor is a partnership between Mike Isabella and Jennifer Carroll.
• A permanent restaurant, Greek taverna-inspired Kapnos Kouzina, also by Isabella, will take over the space in early 2016, the news site reports. The first Kapnos Kouzina is set to open this fall in Bethesda.
