Department is struggling to recruit and maintain officers.

Potomac Grocer Opens in Potomac Village

Surprise family or friends with stuffed pork tenderloin with currants and raisins — or take home a lobster tail with truffle butter. Try the grilled asparagus or chicken pesto penne — or choose among side dishes such as orzo salad, quinoa salad, or a salmon spread.

But now they are open and ready for business.
