Twist Dupont Restaurant and Lounge

The food and staff here is amazing! We had breakfast here twice. Try the french toast it’s heavenly as well as their corn soup and Cesar salad. If we ever come back will definitely make this a normal stop.

The Riggsby is a lovely restaurant located in the Carlyle Hotel in Washington, D.C. With its wood paneled walls and leather chairs, it harks back to an earlier era. One can easily imagine the well-to-do literati enjoying a long lunch there while discussing worldly affairs.The menu is filled with interesting takes on classic dishes. The brunch menu, for example, includes duck confit hash. It's great, but is a far cry from corned beef hash!Servers are friendly and efficient without intruding inappropriately upon conversation. They keep an attentive eye open for a customer's look or gesture and are quick to respond.Prices are mid range, but not prohibitive. All in all, it is a delightful place to meet and share a meal with friends.

The food was subpar and overpriced. The server seemed put out at being at the place. She offered us still or sparkling water when we were seated and didn’t tell us it was $6 a bottle or offer tap. Not worth the trip.
