I love the “simple preparations” — you can add grilled salmon, chicken or steak to their absolutely perfect green salad. It’s a delicious, simple meal.
Joe FinleyFebruary 15, 2012Scallop with tequila lime ice appetizer is amazing. The venison medallions are great. Top it all off with a West End Manhattan...one of the smoothest and well balanced drinks I've ever had.
Colleen NJanuary 11, 2014From Washingtonian: bottomless mimosas in unusual flavors, poached eggs (Benedicts, crabcake with hollandaise), chiles rellenos, pickled herring, buttermilk biscuits
Lauren S.April 12, 2011The brunch is great! Small plates & delicious mimosas! Try the cheese plate (under desserts) & the White Peach Vanilla mimosa - they pair perfectly! I also recommend the ceviche for non-brunch hours.
Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012You can count on good burgers and soups but the standout dish is the most out-there: a salt-rimmed margarita glass filled with lime-marinated bay scallops, tequila ice, and sour cream.
Mike FMarch 9, 2011Shrimp tempura is very good. Don't think it was great tempura (coating was off a bit), but it was possibly about the best fried shrimp I've had in recent memory.
Ximena VegaAugust 22, 2013The gnudis are heaven. The service is awesome and they sometimes have festivals with set menus for 50usd.
- Outstanding: tomato soup, French onion soup, beet salad, butterscotch pudding!
medium well burger with enough extra melted cheese (white cheddar, gruyer, swiss...) for the jalepeño slices to get lost in. unfortunately adding bacon is subject to inconsistent post brunch supply
Best mussels in dc. Their Branzino fish is best in DC. Nice wine list.
Brittany CooperMarch 12, 2010The mussels and cider glazed grilled porkchops are incredible. Finish your meal with the Coffee Almond Fudge Ripple Sunday.
Lynn PinaNovember 12, 2010You MUST get the scallop martini. It is incredible, especially the sorbet on top.
- Shivani Aneja SenMarch 30, 2010Had Brunch at Ris and it was awesome, the Huevos Rancheros were really good.
Careless service and not honoring reservation requests. Ris has become a shadow of its former self. Shame!
Alain DewaelMay 2, 2015Not sure why this gets such high ratings, really nothing that stood out. Food ok, drinks below par and service so so.
