Divino Grill on 17th Street ‘Closed for Renovation’

A Mexican restaurant in Dupont is “closed for renovation,” but it’s unclear when it will reopen.

Divino Grill (1623 17th St. NW) is currently closed, according to several signs posted on the door of the restaurant. The signs say the eatery was due to reopen “the first week of December,” but stacked chairs, loose boards, tables and decorations can still be seen scattered throughout the interior of the restaurant.

It was immediately unclear when — or if — the restaurant might reopen. We left a message with Divino Grill owner Felix Nelson Araya, but he has not yet returned our call.

The restaurant previously filed an application to host live drag shows last month, but the application was rescinded last week.
