    I've been a patron of Chinois since its opening 41 years ago and it's always excellent. Last night was no exception. We shared a couple of the specials including the crab cakes topped with a large shrimp, an eggplant dish and some of the old standbys including the veggie fried rice and the chicken salad and more. All was delicious, the service attentive and the staff super friendly. A visit by Wolfgang himself who stopped by to chat along with the ever present front of the house - Bella just further enhanced the evening.

    This was my second time at Zinque (first time was at the Century City location) and it did not disappoint. My wife got the moules-frites, I got the provencal short ribs and we shared the olive oil cake. Zinque also has a great happy hour (M-F, 4-6) so definitely keep it in mind if you’re in the area.
