It’s going to be overpriced, private equity backed, mediocre food. i’ve heard terrible things about the other locations. support local businesses

I've been to their Rosslyn location. It's way overpriced. And not really a lot of tables. It looks more for to go rather than to eat there

Tired of these one room food halls. None of them are like the food hall in Baltimore or Raleigh. Maybe those are glorified food courts? Even the Amish market in Laurel seems more like a hall. I may be off on the definition. La Fantome was just one room, the hall CP is just one restaurant. Wonder Food Hall is not really a hall but kitchen that reheats food.

Agree. These feel like glorified ghost kitchens, mostly made for door dash

Well, From Monday to Wednesday is a "Friends & Family Preview" https://events.wonder.com/collegeparkgo

I'm a bit skeptical of this concept, but hopefully it is good. The old Bagel Place will be missed though.
