Kitchen K’s closing – and reopening
December 18th 12:12pm, 2009
Kitchen K owner Pablo Weiss announced this morning that he will close the downtown restaurant on Jan. 1 and, after an extensive renovation, launch a new restaurant and event space in the same location in early 2010. The lunch-only The Pacific Grille will take up residence in the current K Bar and feature a California-style cuisine under the direction of current Kitchen K executive chef Joshua Norris. Kitchen K’s main dining room will become The California Room, which will hold up to 200 people for private functions.
“We have had a great time, but I feel that the concept has run its course,” Weiss said in a release, “and it’s time for something new and refreshing on Washington Avenue.” Stay tuned for details.

Yawn. Another lunch-only establishment.
When will these business owners get the point that there’s a lot of downtown residents in need of places to eat after lunch hours? This is absolutely infuriating. A lunch-only restaurant in prime downtown residential area. Unbelievable.
