RIS DC

RIS DC is an upscale seasonal American restaurant in Washington's West End, run by chef and owner Ris Lacoste. The menus change often around farmers market produce, and her cooking draws on New England seafood, classic Paris training and the familiar comfort of American diner fare. Diners often single out the scallop appetizer and the crab cakes, and the cocktail list and wine selection are chosen with care.

Guests can dine in the room or order takeout daily, and dinner delivery within the local area is free. Reservations can be booked online, and the restaurant has private event space for celebrations and gift certificates are available. RIS sits near the Kennedy Center, Dupont Circle, Georgetown and the K Street business district.
