On a delightful outing, I ventured in for a quick meal with a family member who had just flown in from out of state. Eager to sample a bit of everything, we opted for the all-you-can-eat option, and it certainly lived up to its promise. Our experience was a feast for the senses, from the enticing display of dishes on the table to the engaging cooking experience right before our eyes. The restaurant buzzed with a constant flow of delicious food, making it feel like a celebration at every turn. Our attentive waitress ensured we were well taken care of, adding to the warmth of our dining experience. Overall, this was a charming and memorable outing we highly recommend to anyone looking to indulge in a culinary adventure. Dr. Cam

I will absolutely be back. It isn't often that a hotel restaurant blows me out of the water, but I would argue Cafe Riggs is one of the best restaurants in the area. Our server was phenomenal. He mastered the right amount of attentiveness and personability without being oppressive. The food was fantastic, and the ambiance was incredible...I could carry on. I also believe a manager or food & beverage staffer came over to check on us while refilling water. This is my new favorite place in DC. Also, their uniform is too cute; I want one of their denim shirts, ha.

Extremely high-quality barbecue, with a surprisingly robust and well thought out brunch menu. In fact, I’d argue this is one of the best brunches around. Definitely try the bacon.

Food was very tasty. However I think the portions could be bigger. My chicken was basically a tin half of breast. Nonetheless it was delicious.
