We were staying at the One Washington Circle Hotel a block away and were planning a meal downtown but it was pouring with rain so we used the 'near me now' feature on the trip advisor app and found this reataurant. We could not get a table in the restaurant but ate at one of the tables in the bar... More

After last year's stellar experience at RIS, we were anxious to return. We were seated promptly for our 7:00 p.m. reservation, in the same small booth in which we were seated last year. Our server was knowlegeable and efficient. Food was very good, but not as memorable as previously. The wine list is impressive and we were pleased with our... More

We ate at RIS the other night and enjoyed their Icelandic menu with wine pairings very much. The service was great and the restaurant decor is very understated. We would definitly go back. More

The food was great, our server excellent, and it was a great place to people watch. Lots of young professionals talking about politics and the news, just like you expect in DC. More

The wait staff, the chef, and the farm-to-table menu are all first class. It's quiet enough that you can blend work and play. As a business traveler, I schedule dinner dates at Ris whenever I can. More

This was our first time eating at Ris, and we particularly enjoyed the unique combination of appetizers and small plates that made up the menu for the Sunday breakfast/brunch. One member of our group has celiac disease, and the menu variety allowed her to have a very satisfying meal too. More

Had a delicious lunch outside on the patio--delicious salads and sandwiches with attentive service. Creative chicken salad, all dishes with seasonally fresh ingredients. More

I'd been meaning to go to RIS for a while, with high expectations due to everything I knew about the chef. The décor isn't exceptional but was nice enough. The food more than makes up for it, though! I tried the famous scallop margarita as a starter, which was definitely a highlight. The main course was well-portioned for everyone, and... More
