Maketto. Such a tease.

The seemingly forever-in-progress restaurant/market from Toki Underground's Erik Bruner-Yang and DURKL's Will Sharp hasbeen on local "Most anticipated openings" lists for three years in a row. But there's finally an opening date: April 10, 2015, with a pre-party on April 4.

We've added that 2015 in the date because this is not the first time we've been told that Maketto will open in April.

In fact, there have been many overly optimisticpredictions of Maketto's opening date over the past few years, many of which were our own.

2012

June 4, 2012: "As of right now, it is hard to tell, but the goal is early next year." -- Erik Bruner-Yang in Eater

August 8, 2012: "[Maketto]is aiming for a Spring 2013 opening." -- Shilpi Paul, DC Urban Turf

2013

March 25, 2013: "On the weekends, Bruner-Yang envisions a full dim-sum menu and a farmers market in the open-air space out back. He expects all this to happen in six months, too, although demolition just recently began." -- Tim Carman, The Washington Post

July 8, 2013: "Maketto, DURKL's Will Sharp and Bruner-Yangs modern mixed-retail and restaurant marketplace located at 1351 H Street NE, is not set to open until late 2013." -- H Street Great Street
