    I had been by the restaurant on many occasions and when an organization came into town and were staying at a nearby hotel, I chose RIS as place for dinner. Given the number of good restaurants in DC, I simply cannot recommend RIS as a regular option. Service was good, ambiance OK, but the food was disappointing.

    Kind of a disjointed menu, but the food was very good once you figured out what to order. Service friendly, but slow. Place was empty, which is always a red flag, and made it lack ambience, but would go back for the food.
