Opening Menu for Boundary Road (Coming early 2012 to 414 H St)

We've told you before that we're pretty excited about Boundary Road -- a neighborhood American Bistro coming to 414 H Street NE early next year noting that among other places, the Chef has cooked at great restaurants including, Central, Proof, Cashion's and Fiola, while the GM's background includes popular Columbia Heights beer tavern Meridian Pint.  Now we can share another reason we're excited -- their current draft of the opening menu looks awesome.  The full menu is after the jump.
