    Well as always we have always had amazing food and service here at the Grill, and this time was no exception. The hospitality from the hosting staff was so warm and welcoming and helped us do a little surprise party for my sister and nephew. Chase our waiter was equally amazing as was our food. The kindness and friendliness helped make our occasion extra special and we can’t thank everyone enough. This one of the many reason we continue to frequent your restaurant. Thank you once again for helping make our visit fun and special.

    We elected to go with the buffet, which was delicious. The breakfast buffet was worth it for the price and the service was very efficient and nice. The array of foods and condiments were bountiful. There was everything from cereal, oatmeal, eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, toast, cheese, cold cuts, fruit, and more. I will defiantly be back!

    It was our 3rd time at Riggs (every time we are in D.C. we come to Riggs) and it was amazing as any other time before. The food was delicious, service was good and professional and we enjoyed our dining experience. Looking forward to come back next time we visit D.C.
