JBG Smith and the Seven Restaurant Group Open Up Dining in the Park at National Landing

JBG Smith, leading owner and developer in the mixed-use National Landing area teams up with the Seven Restaurant Group (known for Imperfecto and Seven Reasons) to open Dining in the Park. The newest attraction is fronted by the opening of Surreal - a seamless outdoor/indoor culinary destination that sits in the middle of the park right smack at National Landing's recently renovated submarket. The restaurant is poised to serve from breakfast to dinner, offering unique and comforting flavors - especially with the plans on selling gourmet street food (wine, beer, coffee, and even ice cream) around the open area of the establishment.

The entire revolutionary Dining In The Park experience (with Surreal at the heart of it) stands in 2121 Crystal Drive, with the existing park being upgraded for said attraction. “We are thrilled to partner once again with the incredibly talented Seven Restaurant Group for Surreal after a successful launch of Imperfecto in the West End,” said Kai Reynolds, Chief Development Officer for JBG SMITH. “Surreal is truly a perfect fit for our Dining in the Park vision and the broader National Landing neighborhood. Their flavors and culinary philosophy integrated with nature will bring an approachable, yet diversified and sophisticated dining experience for any time of day.”

Surreal along with the Dining In The Park experience is a tumultuous addition to the up-and-coming National Landing, with construction already set to begin on the first quarter of 2022 and with the restaurant doors opening come 2023.
