TROPICAL TASTES

Some of the coldest days of winter are now upon us, but RIS (2275 L St. NW) invites guests to warm up with its new three-course “Tropical Escape” lunch menu that might make you start planning your next tropical vacation. RIS chef and owner Ris Lacoste has embodied the warmth, spice and sweetness of the tropics in her seasonal dishes, which include Jamaican goat curry, Thai chicken lime and coconut soup, and macadamia-crusted mahi mahi served with orange cous cous and a citrus mint salad. And what would a tropical menu be without a good margarita? Lacoste has spiced up the popular cocktail with lime-marinated scallops, chilies, orange segments and even avocado.
