The food was lovely, the service warm and friendly, from everyone who helped us. It’s nice to see a place firing on all pistons after being around for 13 years.

Absolutely phenomenal venue. Was in town for a work conference, and ended up visiting Ris three times. Never disappointed. The cocktails are fantastic, but the food. WOW. Pictured here is the Scallop Margarita. Also loved the Portuguese Seafood Stew and the Chicken Milanese. Can’t wait to return during my next visit to DC! I’ll be

I came here for lunch during restaurant week. The service was great as was the food and the price. My waiter was an older man who was very attentive. I started the meal with a scallop margarita ceviche. It was good, but I did regret paying $5 extra for it and would have gone for a different appetizer. The chicken Milanese and the cherry tart dessert were where the food really shined. Both were so good and I just wished that I could have eaten even more of them. The food was good enough that I gotta come back another time! Highly recommend the chicken Milanese and the cherry tart dessert

My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and had an amazing experience. The service was great and the food was delicious. We especially loved the crispy brussel sprouts. Highly recommend!

At the suggestion of a friend, I came to Ris for the meatloaf dinner, which they only serve on Mondays (if there are leftovers, they’ll add it to the Tuesday lunch menu). It is served with mashed potatoes and green beans. I also ordered the spaghetti squash with hazelnuts, cheese, and pomegranate pips. And to drink, I had the raspberry lime Ricky (non-alcoholic).

Go. For. Dessert. It was incredible. The peach tart and homemade ice cream are absolutely divine! Service started as an 8 (out of 5) then went to a 2. We’ll blame it on the dinner rush because they were aces in the beginning. The restaurant itself is a GORGEOUS 5. Perfect for a date/anniversary night, covert dinner, or entertaining business associates. The food was about a 3 – not bad but not memorable.

This is my third time at Ris in as many years, and every time we make the trek into DC it’s worth it! We came for lunch during DC Restaurant Week, and loved each of our 3 courses. The crown of cauliflower is always a gem, but the brussels sprouts have a special place in my heart. We’ll be back!

Salmon was delicious… moist, and perfectly balanced flavors. Mussels were tender and broth inventively delightful. Linguini was rich and luscious. The entire meal was flawless. One of the best restaurants in DC, full stop.

Food was good. Service was beautiful. Definitely recommend. The State Room is perfect for a smaller group dinner. We lost track of time while dining. Always a good sign.

Had dinner at Ris before going to a Kennedy Center performance. Absolutely wonderful meal starting with cucumber gazpacho..so refreshing & flavorful. I then had the best mussels since moving to DC. I was so glad that they came with 2 crusty slices of bread to dip because the sauce was outstanding! Split dessert with my friend..warm peach costata with ice cream. The pastry crust was so good & flaky and the peaches were fresh. Our server was David & he was nice & knowledgable & attentive. Kudos to the Chef!
