“Chinois is a trendy Santa Monica restaurant right on Main street. Food selection was pretty good, however there was nothing really suitable for kids. We ate at the hotel on a Thursday evening in the middle of December and the place was absolutely packed. Luckily, they did take reservations so we were seated quickly. Parking is limited in this area of town, but valet is available curbside. The restaurant is quite small and they definitely pack them in. This creates a loud eating environment. We tried a variety of dishes -- all Wolfgang Puck specialties. Overall, the food was above average. The duck was a little chewy, but the lobster dish was delicious. I would recommend ordering a variety of dishes to sample if you are in a group setting rather than ordering specific meals.”
