Michelin bothers to list Café Riggs, which counts for something, but the review split tells the more useful story: Google's 4.5 over a thousand-plus reviews versus Yelp's 4.1 on a third as many. That's not a contradiction so much as two different crowds — one is grading the overall experience (rooftop, setting, the whole package), the other's base tends to be pickier about food-for-price. No Tripadvisor presence means no read on how it stacks up against other DC New American spots. Go for the setting, keep expectations calibrated by the Yelp number, not the Google one.
