I went to CHLOE in DC and honestly, I've walked past this place so many times and had no idea there was a gym inside. I love that they have a whole fried fish because the presentation alone is spectacular. They also had a featured menu, I'm not sure if it changes weekly or monthly, and my date got the curry shrimp which was honestly a really good size portion. I was super tired that day so we were kind of in and out, but I'd definitely go back. The drinks were good too. Cute place and solid service - loved the bread as well read more

Casual neighborhood vibe - great outdoor atmosphere although the best seat is at the bar where you can see the kitchen prep the most delectable sharables. Friendly for dg owners, great service, and fresh, tasty food carefully curated. The spices are creatively woven into the Newell plated dishes. Great for groups, take out and for a local meal. Vegan options! My favs by far - the penne pasta with pork ragout, and the Flat iron Minute Steak with shiitakes and the caramelized Cauliflower. read more

Chloe has some amazing reviews and the hype is real. Service is prompt and on the ball. My party and I never found ourselves with an empty glass or plate. Our server was wonderful and had wonderful food and wine recommendations. We landed on the pickle plate, little gem salad, grilled bread, gnocchi, and chicken. The pickle plate and grilled bread are both must haves. There's a little bit of everything and it's a great compliment to everything on the menu. The salad and hamachi were also delicious. Both were fresh with some bright and unique flavors. I had the gnocchi and the sauce was so tasty with the asparagus cooked perfectly. The chicken was extremely tender and came with a sticky rice accompaniment, which paired so well. We sat on the patio and it was wonderful. The weather was perfect and would highly recommend. Definitely will be back! read more

Such a cute restaurant and I loved the open kitchen concept. The small bites and plates were very tasty - highlights on the crudo, noodles under the steak, and crispy fish skin. Cocktails aren't super novel and service for the drinks were really slow. Overall, it was a good experience and a good date night / family spot. read more

We went to brunch for my birthday and all of the food was really good. The menu is made for sharing and the portions are small, which is nice for trying multiple things. However this makes the cost add up pretty quickly. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the ambiance of the restaurant was nice. read more

I visited on a Saturday afternoon. It was really busy, but we were able to snag a seat at the bar. Although busy, service was speedy. We ordered oysters for our appetizer, and I had the salmon dish for my entree. I am an oyster fan through-and-through! I will get them if I see them on a menu. Chloe's oysters were fried and the presentation was pretty. See pic. The batter on the oysters had just the right crispy effect. They were still juicy and not fried too hard. A bed a slaw beneath the oyster added to the crunch effect. The seasoning was perfect -- would definitely get again. The salmon was tasty too! Snap peas and potatoes were included with the dish. I would get this again too! Visit for yourself. Cheers! read more

This has now become one of my favorite DC restaurants! The service received was great, the restaurant isn't too crowded and is nice for both casual and date nights. The food is absolutely delicious! My favorite item on the menu is the whole fried fish, but everything I've had has been wonderful. The hamachi is so fresh and flavorful. The pork belly is so tender and meaty! I will definitely come back time and time again to try new things and experience seasonal items. read more

Update! Still love Chloe. Stopped by for dinner and had a great time. It's still beautiful space and great for dinner or just for drinks at the bar. Service was great as usual. Here is a breakdown on what we had and my thoughts: The grilled house bread wasn't my favorite but mostly because it wasn't what I initially expected but it was fine. We traded it in for the spiced lamb hummus and that was the sweet spot for me. I will definitely be back for more of that. It was great for dinner and would also be great on its own with a drink at the bar. We also had the autumn potato gnocchi which was very pleasant and light with plenty of flavor. For our mains we had the spice roasted chicken which was solid overall. It was fairly tender with pretty good flavor and the sticky rice that came with it added a nice sweet note that I really enjoyed. We also had the flat iron minute steak with egg noodles and Thai basil. The steak was a bit chewy but the combination of flavors made the dish really enjoyable overall. To top it all off i had the warm chocolate hazelnut cake and it was amazing. You can't go wrong with warm cake and ice cream. I'll definitely be back for that. My two standouts this time around were the spiced lamb hummus and the warm chocolate hazelnut cake. Chloe does it again! I will be back! read more

We went for Mother's Day Brunch, and I expected the restaurant to be busy but it was not that busy. Despite that, our service was the main reason I am giving this restaurant 3 stars. It took a long time for us to be able to order, and the server was not warm or friendly. We ordered our mains (and there are not many options in the first place), and dishes were brought out one at a time and not very close in time. Between the first person's food and last person's food arriving, almost 10 minutes passed which really affected the pace and ability to enjoy the meal. The food itself was tasty and fresh, but overall felt like the experience was affected by the service. read more

This restaurant is just around the corner of the hotel I'm staying at. A friend and I came after work for dinner and really enjoyed the food. Had their special of the day which was a hamachi kama. I've had this dish many many times at a Japanese restaurant. This was one of my all time favorite versions. It was a nice big portion and the miso glaze was really well balanced. Cooked perfectly. Also had gnocchi and chicken which were really good. Finished off with the chocolate cake. Fantastic. read more

We were hoping to eat at Albi, but the next available reservation was at 9:30 p.m., so we decided to go to Chloe instead and they didn't disappoint. We sat at the bar, and the bartenders were extremely polite. The drinks were amazing, and the food was delicious. We would definitely go back. We ordered the salad, hummus, potatoes, and steak. For drinks, I ordered a mojito, and my fiancée ordered a Manhattan. We started with the baby arugula, shaved fennel, and citrus salad, followed by the spiced lamb hummus and crispy fingerling potatoes. We finished with the grilled lemongrass flat iron minute steak. read more

Everything I had at Chloe was to die for! The falafel was crispy and flavorful, the drinks were delicious, the chicken was juicy and good. I truly have zero complaints.

I'll 100% be returning!! read more

We had high hopes for Chloe, but it was mediocre and expensive. Also, the service was pretty slow at the end of the meal. We waited 10-15 minutes for the bill, and it took another 10 minutes for our server to put the charge on the card. CARAMELIZED CAULIFLOWER - 16 This is what they're popular for, but the cauliflower we got was pretty soggy. We expected it to be crispy since it's caramelized, but we didn't get any of that sweetness we were expecting. It was very tahini-forward. Overall, it wasn't bad, but not what we were expecting and the texture was off. SPICED LAMB HUMMUS - 21 This was very good and the highlight of our meal. The ground lamb was flavorful and not too gamey, and the hummus was creamy and smooth. The buttered almonds added a nice crunchy texture, and the Beiruti hot sauce gave a lightly spicy kick. The snowshoe naan? Extremely soft and fluffy. We enjoyed this and would recommend it. SPICE ROASTED CHICKEN - 35 People on Yelp wrote about how the chicken was good, and the table next to us got it and it looked good, so we did too. We cut the chicken in half, and I took the white meat part and my friend took the dark meat portion. The white meat? Extremely dry and hard to cut into. The toasted chili-lime dipping sauce was weirdly sweet, so I didn't eat much of it. We enjoyed the broccolini, which was a bit sweet but had a nice savory sauce. The sticky rice was fine, nothing amazing. I will say, the chicken skin was thin, crispy, and delicious. Overall, this was a let down. I think we both prefer any Peruvian chicken joint for 1/3 of the price and chicken that's juicier and tastier. Sadly, I don't think we'll be returning after this experience. read more

We dined for the first time at Chloe for the Summer Restaurant week. We picked to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and fresh air. Overall the outside area was nice and quiet - it was fairly early brunch on a Sunday, so that was lovely. The part that made us question our decision to sit outside were the amount of mosquitoes. Lots of bites and after a few minutes we saw others experiencing the same. The hostess brought out bug spray and several of us used it. So just something to keep in mind if you're dining outside. Service was very relaxed. We weren't in a rush, so it was okay, but it was fairly slow to get food. Perhaps that was due to restaurant week and being extra busy. The food! It was quite delicious!! The chia pudding was very good! The pastry plate was more than generous that gave a great sampling of items. One of the servers said the banana bread was one of his favorites and it melts in your mouth - we understood when we tried it. Yum! Both entries - Soft Egg Scramble and the Penne with sausage were delicious!! Though the penne said it was spicy in the description, it wasn't overly spicy. Had the typical Italian sausage seasoning with just the lightest heat. Really well balanced. Desserts - between the berry and peach shortcake and the chocolate hazelnut cake --- the chocolate hazelnut cake won hands down! The cake was a rich, fudgy cake, topped with a crispy wafer, and ice cream! Great texture and flavor and would absolutely order it again! read more

Made a reservation for 5pm on a Saturday for summer restaurant week. Was running late and called to let them know; they said it wouldn't be a problem. The restaurant is fairly small but good space. The bar and some high top tables are on one side, and the other side has regular height tables with an open kitchen and lots of light from the streets. They also have patio seating. It's a good area for people watching as they walk by. For RW, I had the lobster & sweet corn ravioli, angus steak and chocolate hazelnut cake. I also had a faux-jito. Everything was absolutely delicious! The ravioli was a surprise of flavor and textures with the combination of lobster and corn, but it was well done although oddly served in a bowl vs a plate (cutting it was awkward). The steak was small but with the tomato Parmesan bread pudding and Swiss chard, I found it to be the perfect amount of food for an entree. I tried each item separately, then enjoyed various pairings (steak + chard, then steak + bread pudding, then chard + bread pudding). I enjoyed the meal so much! Oh, and the pesto sauce around the plate was perfect with the last few bites of bread pudding. The chocolate hazelnut cake was a wonderful ending, with the salted caramel ice cream to balance out the heat/temperature of the cake. Everything was perfection that I won't even take off a star for the mosquitoes that were having a meal of their own with my legs or the server who seemed a tad aloof (shout out to the hostesses who presented me with a can of Off when I asked). read more

Chloe invited us in one winter night with open arms and a warmth radiating from the kitchen. We were treated with priority and kindness. The menu introduced such a lovely collection of differing cuisines, that all still seemed to build towards a collective meal. We had a lot of fun picking out our favorites, with the caramelized cauliflower standing out as an absolute delight of flavor. The spiced lamb hummus was a good side dish to share and the Norwegian salmon brought us home. read more

overall had an ok meal at chloe, but just ok. the menu isn't cohesive, the service was unenthusiastic (canned answers, recommendations based on what's most ordered), food lacked in execution. out of everything we ordered, the cauliflower was the best dish. although was a bit overdone and lacked texture. crudo needed acid, grilled bread needed more time (interior texture was not good), salad was overdressed. oysters were decent bites, could've benefitted form some citrus, but they were 4 for $22. the salmon skin was not crisp and difficult to cut, and came with very little spaetzle and mushrooms. manchego cheesecake hid the flavor of the cheese behind sugar, and the sorbet on top was icy. the cocktails we tried were good read more

Solid food and service made for a decent meal. Billed as Michelin Bib in 2021 this small plate menu was more exciting to read than taste. The dishes were beautiful but I found the tastes a bit off. I know...picky right? Example was the crispy potatoes that were large for fingerlings and not that crispy. Falafel was dry and seemingly overcooked. The steak was....okay. The tofu and broccolini was bland. The cauliflower was very, very good. The potstickers were a big hit. The dessert, a chocolate like cake was, as my guest said, "very Applebees." Perhaps the hype had me over expecting greatness. The place was clean and bright and table prep and reset throughout the meal was very good. Overall a decent experience that is worth going to and trying the various dishes. read more

Had a dinner date here, last night. This corner restaurant has a cozy, elegant bistro vibe. We sat at the window, overlooking the main street of the navy yard - great view. Hello Is The Final Word cocktail - spicy and tart, very refreshing Asparagus - really good. It actually comes across as more of a hybrid between Asparagus and a spring onion. Kimchi wontons - different! Yummmm... Lemongrass Hangar steak - absolutely delicious. The flavor is phenomenal - a mixture of sweet and savory. Mezcal cocktail (the name escapes me) - sooo delicious. Slightly citrusy and refreshing The service was pleasant and attentive. Our server, Cindy, was delightful. Highly recommended! read more

Had a great meal then ordered an Old Fashioned. It came with a bunch of small ice which quickly watered it down. A restaurant of this quality should know how to make an old fashioned! So disappointing!!!! Old Fashions are made with a single block of ice, and the customer should not have to deal with a watered down drink! read more

Really enjoyed dinner here! The space is a good size and the tables aren't cramped. The menu is quite varied and has lots of options for different dietary restrictions. Between our group, we tried the crispy fingerling potatoes, the broccoli and tofu, fresh ricotta, falafel, heirloom tomato salad, and the potato gnocchi. Everything was really tasty. I think the fresh ricotta and the gnocchi were stand-outs in being unique in flavors. The falafel was also really good, pretty standard, but well cooked and definitely not dry. Some folks for drinks and enjoyed those too. There was a bit of a gap between one the first three plates and the second three came out that was a little bit awkward. There were three of us - they recommended 2 to 3 plates per person, we ordered six total and I feel like could've gotten away with five. read more

My first time sitting at a chef's counter, and now I'm convinced every restaurant should have one! It was such a unique experience--getting to chat with the chef and ask questions, all while bonding with new people at the counter. The service and ambiance were top-notch, too. Honestly, the perfect date night. I'd rate Chloe a solid 8/10! It would've been a 10/10 if the espresso martini wasn't so potent (tasted like a triple shot of espresso with no sweet element) and the steak wasn't chewy. read more

Overall Rating: 5/10 I love the concept of a restaurant serving global cuisine, but Chloe might need to narrow its focus. The flavors were all over the place--unfortunately, none of them stood out. Add a server who kept nervously asking if we liked each dish, and, well... let's just say, neither of us felt confident. Food: 2.5/5 Appetizers: * Crispy Wagyu Beef & Kimchi Dumplings: Who doesn't love a dumpling? But a wasted garnish and too little sauce made these forgettable. * Creamy Buratta: Arugula and burrata? Classic. But this dish needed something to tie it all together. Main Course: * Red Wine Braised Creekstone Beef Short Rib: Tender? Yes. Exciting? No. The dish lacked the richness needed to balance the mild mash and spinach. * Russet Potato Gnocchi: A solid, traditional dish. Enjoyable but nothing special. Evening Special: * Creole Shrimp Gumbo: The best thing I ate all night... and it wasn't even on the Restaurant Week menu. That biscuit soaked up the gumbo perfectly! Dessert: * Tres Leches Cake: Cake + fruit = no complaints. * Tropical Fruit Sorbet: Would've loved it--if I liked chia pudding. If that's your thing, you'll be happy. Service + Décor: 2.5/5 Our server had zero social awareness. Interrupting mid-conversation to ask if we liked the food--repeatedly--made for an awkward experience. Then, when we asked to split the bill, he made such a scene we were straight-up embarrassed. Décor? Simple, neutral, heavy on wood, with an open kitchen adding contrast. Nothing flashy, just warm and functional.

Chloe - Full review on my Instagram (@_edaj_) and TikTok (@_edaj_jade_) - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Strong variety of plates and good wine selection. A good spot to try something new. The good: Great variety on the menu with a Mediterranean - Levant - American mix of plates enhanced by a selection of specials. Great selection of wines to pair with a decent by the glass selection and large by the bottle list. Service was also excellent with strong knowledge of the menu and great pacing which can be difficult with small plates. The bad: nothing to complain about here atmosphere was lively without being to loud for a date. The mediocre: ok I know I plugged the menu variety and it is a great place to try something new but it's not a great menu if you have a picky eater with you. Between raw fish variations on liver and lamb the proteins are great but all at least mildly niche. Maybe not the place to bring you I only eat steak and chicken friends. Great spot on a black of great spots. See you again soon. read more

Gem of a spot, with a lot of attention to culinary details. We went there when we couldn't get into a nearby spot. Sat at the counter -- hint - sit at far end and you'll be in front of the chef after whom the restaurant is named! A lot of good energy here - people seemed genuinely happy. We went a la carte despite an enticing looking restaurant week menu. The hamachi crudo was excellent - so many flavors. The salmon with super fresh snap peas also very good. They have filtered sparkling water (nice touch). We didn't get the whole fried fish (pictured) but it looks amazing. Gazpacho should be its own dish -- it is very good, almost too good for an amuse bouche. Downsides: The gem salad was small and the (cherry tomato) heirloom salad was underwhelming. The lamb humus is great but we both wished they would have used less (or no) oil on the naan. Overall - the dishes all had a touch too much oil. The prices are very fair, the ambience terrific, the chef is there, and the dishes packed with flavor. read more

This is my go to spot in Navy Yard. You can't go wrong with brunch or dinner here. The staff is trained really well and always greets you with a smile. To be completely honest, I have tried multiple dishes on the menu and have never been disappointed. For dinner, my favorite dishes are the Lemongrass Flat Iron Minute Steak and the Spice Roasted Chicken. Both are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. For brunch, my favorite dishes are Crispy Lemongrass Chicken and Sunnyside Eggs With Chorizo & Potato Hash. In terms of service, my favorite waiter is Josh. He knows the menu well and is super attentive. When it's not super humid outside, you also can't go wrong with sitting outside with a nice cocktail. A couple of pro tips: 1. Get a reservation on the weekend 2. Come hungry so you can try more of the dishes I will be back here many times especially after a nice Barry's class right across the street. I am always impressed with the quality of the food. read more

First time trying this spot. I read that it had Michelin stars so I really wanted to try it out. I was part of a party of 4. No complaints about service or making reservations. Reservations were easy to make and adjust online. Instead of driving I took the train and got off at the Navy Yard stop. Chloe was a quick seven minute walk. We ordered from the brunch menu. I ordered the San Francisco garlic noodles. Someone else ordered the cauliflower, honey butter toast, soft scrambled eggs, fingerling potatoes . I heard good things about the food that the others in my party ordered. They also took the leftover food with them, which was good sign. The garlic noodles that I ordered were good but took quite a while to come out. I know the dishes are made individually so I didn't have a problem waiting. The noodles were pretty good and flavorful but heavy on the garlic. The mushrooms and cilantro were a nice added touch. Our waiter suggested ordering two or three small plates for sharing. This worked pretty well for us. I loved the cafe vibe, as it was a casual spot. I'd come back, but to try dinner. read more

The food was delicious! But the portion sizes are fairly smol so I would recommend getting 2 plates per person. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors of everything especially in the miso glaze hamachi collar dish- the fish was also very tender. The steak with egg noods was also very good - but saltier and sweeter than the fish dish. The ahi tuna was yummy, but I didn't like the wasabi sauce that much bc it was v strong. Overall, the vibez of the restaurant are nice and the food was good so I'd definitely come back! read more

Chloe in DC's Navy Yard is a tapas style restaurant which is my favorite. We kicked off our dinner with the Artisanal Cheese Plate. The wildflower honey was a lovely addition to the cheeses. The pecan-dried fruit bread was also a favorite. The highlight of the meal was hands down the Ahi Tuna Tartare. Served with crispy nori tempura, avocado, and a wasabi-soy emulsion. The tartare was fresh, and the tempura added a lovely crunch that elevated the dish. Simply put, the tuna tartare was "it." Next up was the Spanish Summer Corn, which was a revelation--garlic aioli, manchego, and smoked paprika brought a beautifully balanced richness, brightened by a touch of lemon. The final dish, Potato Gnocchi, was comfort food at its finest. The gnocchi, paired with sweet corn, mushrooms, smoked mozzarella, and pine nut pesto, was a lovely balance of sweet and smoky. I absolutely love pesto. Highly recommend the tuna tartare--it steals the show! read more

This restaurant was phenomenal! It's the perfect quiet Sunday brunch for a group of girls. The ambiance inside was so cute and quaint. There's no music inside which is great because you can have a conversation with people. The service was great. Our waiter checked on us frequently and provided us an in depth review of the menu with the most popular dishes. The food was so good! I would suggest sharing 3 or 4 plates with a group of people. I don't think I would've enjoyed one plate by myself. I definitely recommend getting the banana bread if you go! read more

Girls night dinner for the win! The cocktails were delicious! I got the hello something - the gin drink. It did have a nice kick to it. We got the grilled house bread, the crudo, pasta and the crispy whole fish. The chef/ kitchen staff was kind enough to accommodate our request of removing the head before serving it to us. Maybe because it was close to closing time, I did feel a little rushed as we were being asked multiple times if the plates could be removed when we were clearly eating and had plenty of food in the serving dishes. Asides from this, I did enjoyed it brut food. It was delicious! the crudo and pasta were my favorites from the lot. I'd definitely like to come back again and try out some other menu items. read more

Cozy and sleek ambiance. Loved the autumn gnocchi, potstickers, cod & especially the wagu and kimchi dumplings. Great service! Bravo.

Food here was surprisingly delicious packed with a ton of flavor. Server recommended the poached egg with scallion biscuit and it was seriously so good. Still thinking about the mushroom gravy. This one is a must try on the menu. The crispy chicken was also delicious and kept its crispiness while lying on a bed of sauce. The hanger steak portion was too small, and there were not enough noodles. Was not a filling meal. The garlic noodles are also a must try. It was super creamy and rich, paired well with other protein dishes. Really want to come back and try their dessert options. read more
