The Riggsby operates inside the Royal Sonesta Dupont Circle at 2121 P Street NW, though regulars tend to treat it as its own neighborhood spot rather than a hotel restaurant. The bar and parlor room sets the tone — the kind of space made for a Negroni that turns into a full evening — while the kitchen works from a menu of American classics, some served in their original form and others reimagined.
The pork chop has emerged as the dish people talk about, part of a menu regulars describe as complex and flavorful. Service and the room's design come up just as often, giving The Riggsby a reputation as a bit of a hidden gem despite its address inside a major hotel.
