More information on Chinois on Main
Wolfgang Puck's Franco-Chinese eatery bustles nightly with locals and visitors wowed by the eatery's reputation and rarely disappointed by the food. Groundbreaking in its time, the restaurant still relies on the quirky East-meets-West mélange of ingredients and technique. The menu is about equally split between Chinois's signature dishes and seasonal creations. The most famous of the former are Cantonese duck in a sweet-tangy plum sauce, and farm-raised whole catfish that's perfectly deep fried and dramatically presented. Terrific newer dishes include lobster and sea bass sautéed together and flavored with porcini oil and ponzu sauce, and rare roasted loin of venison served in a ginger-spiced port and sun-dried cherries sauce. Try the trio of crème brûlées for dessert. The dining room is as visually colorful as it is acoustically loud. Jacket and ties are requested but not required. Tip: If you like fiery cooking demonstrations, ask for a seat at the kitchen counter. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
