Café RiggsA-

900 F St NW, Washington, DC 20004 · New American restaurant · Downtown

Design-forward hotel restaurant with very good food and standout brunch in a stunning room, but service inconsistency can undermine the experience; book ahead and manage expectations.

The verdict

Café Riggs delivers solid A-grade performance anchored by exceptional setting appeal in a historic, photogenic hotel space that reviewers consistently praise. However, inconsistent food execution with temperature and seasoning issues, combined with variable service attentiveness during peak times, prevents the higher tier. Strong brunch and desserts justify visits, but premium pricing demands reliable execution across all service occasions.

One caveat: Service inconsistency: delayed greetings, missed refills, and pacing issues occur during busy shifts
