In the Golden Triangle space that used to house Jimmy’s on K Street arrives Restaurant K by Alison Swope, who cooks up original Contemporary American fare with plenty of vegetarian options, as well as Mexican-influenced dishes from her now-shuttered restaurant, Andale; splashy artwork brightens the comfortably clubby space, and its long polished bar is a lively perch for power types – and local denizens of the burgeoning neighborhood – at lunch and happy hour.
