About River Club
Striped banquettes, a patterned red ceiling panel and a long bar lined with white stools give the room at Washington Harbour a retro Riviera look, and the kitchen matches it with shared plates drawn from Lebanon, Spain and Italy. Lamb belly skewers, pasta limone, arancini, labneh, branzino and a Basque cheesecake come up again and again in reviews, alongside martinis and a gin-basil cocktail. Dinner runs nightly from 5 PM, closing at 10 PM through the week and 11 PM on Friday and Saturday, and weekend brunch starts late morning, when guests tend to dress up and tables fill. Google lists spend at $40 to $100 a head. Servers are praised by name more than anything else, and a private dining room handles celebrations. The energy peaks at brunch and dinner rather than after midnight. It is rated 4.7 on Google from about 400 reviews.
