Ris

Chef-owner Ris Lacoste anchors the kitchen with a blend of market produce and the nostalgia of classic American diner fare. Menus rotate frequently to track year-round local sourcing, with consistent praise directed toward seafood plates like crab cakes, mussels, and scallop appetizers.

Drink options pair curated cocktails with a wine list selected by John Herbert. Situated in the West End near Georgetown, Dupont Circle, and the Kennedy Center, the space supports full-service dining alongside private gatherings, daily takeout, and local dinner delivery.
