DUPONT CIRCLE— Bonfire is opening for lunch and dinner today. The two-story restaurant and bar from Social Restaurant Group has a fire theme throughout, thanks to interior design by Swatchroom. The playful menu by executive chef R.L. Boyd and pastry chef Ellen Diekemper sticks to the theme by incorporating elements of smoke and fire into the dishes. Smokey flavors find their way into the cocktails, too. Status: Certified open.1132 19th St., NW ; website.
