Ripple

Really great cocktails, outstanding and unique grilled cheeses, and dinner. Some of the best duck I've ever had. Brunch was very disappointing, however; poached eggs were poorly done, with solid yolks. The brunch entrees overall were at best unremarkable. Come for top notch dinner and drinks, give brunch here a pass unless you're in it for the drinks- $30 for all you can drink bubbly along with the food is a great deal.

Very friendly staff. One of the best wine lists for northern Italian wines in DC. The food is excellent - and whoever thought of the grilled cheese section (freshly sliced Italian meats and fresh cheeses on various breads with various condiments) should drink for free for life. Great atmosphere. I go out of my way to come here.

My wife took me here last night for date night. She wanted a new trendy place in a new neighborhood in DC. The fact that this restaurant is in Cleveland Park is a huge plus and their menu is very unique. I am a bit more picky so if an entree had anything more interesting in it like marrow or oysters, I don't play. They have a GREAT wine/beer menu and an entire section for hard ciders. The food was sub par

Can't really say, "go here". We were in the bar area and were one of one two or three small tables at 530 on a weekday. The good: service; bartender; quick seating. The okay: service, cleanup, and plate delivery. Lots and lots of missteps: wrong food to start; hair in the main dish. They comped us the first misstep which was nice; everything else (extra milk, extra cookie) was extra on the bill. Finally, the clincher is the food. Have you ever done Bikram? You are familiar then with the idea of a certain ultra thin ham sandwich. These are the grilled cheese bar sandwiches at Ripple: really, only the tiniest amount of cheese (could barely taste it in my sandwich); tissue-paper thin meat and only one tiny layer of it. Food makes or breaks a restaurant for me. I won't return.

Fantastic food! The menu was highly creative, and each aspect was delicious. We started with a cheese course (3 cheeses to share), then a number of apps, and we each had our own entree. I would definitely return.

Ripple would get another star if its menu wasn't a tad overpriced. The small charcuterie platter was a highlight, but that and 2 drinks was already $50 before we even sat down to dinner and just don't feel like we got what we paid for. The mains come out tasty enough, and the sides complemented them well, so food quality and presentation earned at least 4 stars. I know they make money on the apps and drinks--but in this case its just a bit too much. I might go back here--but I would certainly order a bit wiser next time.

This was well done. Great food. Great service. Great drinks.

I love this place. Every time it has had great food, a good cocktail menu, and a delicious selection of local cheese and cured meats. The menu is seasonal, so there is always something new on the menu. Also, for brunch they have killer biscuits.
