Ris Dc - Washington, D.C.

I loved this restaurant! Everything was amazing! I decided to celebrate my birthday here and I was thrilled with the whole experience.

I have visited this restaurant several times before, but when a group came to town and stayed at a nearby hotel, I decided to take them to RIS for dinner. Despite the array of excellent dining options in DC, I cannot suggest RIS as a go-to choice. The service was decent, the atmosphere was average, however, the food left much to be desired.

We chose to celebrate our birthdays at Ris because we were looking for a restaurant where we could enjoy a delicious meal and have a memorable experience. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find a Happy Birthday! banner on our menus – a thoughtful gesture. We started our meal with the kale and Brussels sprouts salad and roasted spaghetti squash as appetizers, followed by trout and crown of cauliflower as our main courses. For dessert, we indulged in butterscotch pudding and tiramisu. Each dish was not only tasty, but also beautifully presented. Ris has a unique way of combining flavors that we found impressive. What makes Ris stand out is their variety of vegetarian options, which was perfect for me. The service was friendly and flawless, and the atmosphere was charming. I highly recommend Ris for a cozy and delicious dining experience where you will be treated like royalty. Even though it may not be located in a bustling area, the trip to Ris is definitely worthwhile.

Ris has declined in quality since its previous visits. Despite being decent, it does not meet the high standards it once upheld. This was our second visit in the last 6 months and while it was enjoyable, it did not reach the level of excellence it used to have.

I had been to RIS on several occasions. Always had an outstanding time. Well.....not this past Sunday.... I was meeting friends to celebrate their recent marriage and purchased a gift certificate for them. The manager was terrible.... it seemed that I was bothering her... she didn’t even mention that I needed to fill out the certificate. Unbelievable. NOT impressed. Will NOT be going back. The only descent and helpful person there was the person greeting us at the door. Not sure if there was only one waiter for the whole restaurant but he was not very helpful. Kept forgetting our requests. Had to ask for the same things quite a few times. RIS used to be a 10 now it’s a 2. Food was very salty and a bit stale. TOO bad...
