Celebrity chef and restaurateur Mike Isabella will take the remaining restaurant space available in the Marriott Marquis Washington, D.C., opening Spanish restaurant Arroz in early 2017.
The announcement comes nearly a year after we learned Chicago restaurateur Alfredo Sandoval pulled out of a deal to open Mercadito, which would have been his first D.C.-area restaurant, in the convention center hotel at 901 Massachusetts Ave. NW.
