   Another delicious meal & great service. Classic Wolfgang Chinese Chicken salad, potstickers, vegie rice, eggplant, sautéed mushrooms, curry lobster with crispy spinach, and the halibut special.

   My mother has fond memories of dining here with her work colleagues years ago. Chinois then became she and my deceased father’s favorite place to share with their friends. My adult offspring and I were overjoyed to bring her here to celebrate her 85th birthday. Happily she was able to have halibut, her favorite dish. She truly had a memorable experience and we are grateful.

   So glad this venerable restaurant is still around. Unpretentious food, professional wait staff, no one taking photos of the food.

   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.
