Ris

Editorial Review

Single-syllable restaurateur hunkers on ground floor of Ritz-Carlton residences. Local star chef Ris Lacoste keeps an honest menu for honest palates; trades visual frills for taste bud thrills. Elegant, cream-colored dining room brings light, life to sleek dining public. Dress for the part: low necklines for ladies, Hugo Boss jackets and your wine know-how hidden up your sleeve. Knockout gnudi, cocktails as appetizers. Glorious entrées that say "Ahhh." Desserts made by a woman who likes dessert.
