   Very disappointed AWFUL experience having dinner at Chonois on Main. From the minute, I walked in to the restaurant and gave the hostess my name for oneit seemed she was bothered. Another hostess seated me. Bothered because of a party of one. Obviously, a busy night. The restaurant so crowded not enough room to walk by the tables. The service was not good, my waiter somewhat nice, I ordered duck was awful not a lot of duck meat, very tough, the legs hardly no meat. Ordered the Bao buns for the duck couldn’t eat them. Ordered drink wrong drink. They seemed not to care. I didn’t say anything it was so crowded I didn’t people know my dismay of the food and service. I’m was visiting SM. Had been to the restaurant two other times. Loved the food. Will never go back again. Would never recommend the restaurant.

   Service was good. Food was good but not great. It’s not what it used to be.

   Great restaurant to go to and eat great tasting food. If you’re lucky Wolfgang Puck will great you at your table to shake your hand

    Chinois is always a great experience for us. We tried the Dine LA menu, the food was delicious! The Amuse Bouche caviar topped croquette was a great starter and a reminder of how wonderful Wolfgang Puck Restaurants serve caviar. We plan to return to one of his restaurants soon for caviar. The bartender at Chinois makes wonderful cocktails and is always so welcoming. I wished we lived in the neighborhood, this restaurant would definitely be a favorite!
