Chinois On Main

As an experience this restaurant is incredible, especially if you are with 2+ other people. The service is very accommodating and the food presentation is fantastic — however, while some dishes are exceptional others are meh but saved by extravagant seasoning and overall fanciness.

I love Chinois On Main! This place is trendy, immaculately located at the heart of Santa Monica, and the food is authentic yet elevated. It’s great for celebrating birthday and/or date night out with your loved ones. The drinks are neat, but my absolute favorite item on the menu is the Shanghai lobster 🦞 and the catfish! Incredible flavors, perfectly seasoned, gorgeous presentation and well-balanced. I’m so pleased with this dish, as well as the desserts. The staff are kind, polite and efficient. It was a delightful dinner and I will definitely come back for Shanghai lobster 🦞 the sauce is sublime, crispy spinach is fantastic. An extraordinary Chinese cuisine that has met globally recognized fine dining standards, totally worth the trip! 🥢😋🍹💯

This Asian-French fusion restaurant is one I’ve been wanting to come to for years and it was worth the wait! Amazing service. Still closed indoors but they made a cozy out door area with live music. I went on a Thursday. Fun area to be in overall. We order the soup that was Devine. The catfish was perfect with a little squeeze of like and we got 2 sides. Veggies and stir fried rice. I was in food heaven! There servings are all shareable sizes if you like to share with someone on a date. Perfect spot for a cute date. LARGE wine selection and cocktails were yummy.

What an amazing first post-pandemic dining experience! The DineLA menu provided a great sampling with enough to take home. Service was great, even while dining out on the sidewalk. Thank you for making the end of the pandemic a true celebration Wolfgang Puck and team! The entire experience, down to the friendly other guests in the patio like PorkChopra (featured) were amazing.
