Chinois - Washington, D.C.

The food, service, and ambiance were all wonderful at this restaurant. However, the noise level was excessively loud.

We were very impressed with everything we tried at Bar Chinois! The cocktails and mocktails were fantastic, and the small plates were ideal for sharing.

This was a place I was really looking forward to for restaurant week. With all its critical acclaim I was excited to try it. The place has a great vibe. The food was just ok. Delicious enough for the $25 brunch plus great value with $20 bottomless mimosas.

We got there a little late and when our server Marianna (I think that was her name) we cut her off to see if she could possibly put a round of happy hour drinks and food in before 7pm. It was 6.59 and she was an absolute team player getting that done for us. Dumplings and cocktails were all great. We did restaurant week and were pleasantly surprised how hearty all our dishes were. The créeme brulee was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place.

As expected, we had a great Drag Brunch experience! If you come for brunch and don’t get the curry chicken you are doing yourself a disservice. The performers were FANTASTIC and are by far the best I’ve seen at local drag brunches. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun Sunday!
