Great food. I loved everything I've tried so far. I would say the thing that makes this place great is attention to detail on the small things that elevate a dish. The fresh cabbage slaw and jalapenos emulsion on the lemon grass chicken dish. The toasted pine nuts on the cauliflower. The perfect skin on the salmon. And on and on. read more

I'm so glad I gave them another chance. Our dining experience was superior to the last one although when we first arrived without a reservation on a cold week night they said they were full. We must have looked a little sad because upon a 2nd request and after opting not to sit at the large bar table, they said they could accommodate us. We started with the Hamachi Crudo which is a bit steep at $18.50. It comes with avocado, Thai chilies, lime, fish sauce, crispy shallots and puffed black rice. This was a solid appetizer and we licked every bit of sauce off that plate. Our main dishes of the Norwegian salmon and the Vietnamese chicken were spectacular! The salmon is $19.50 and comes with roasted fingerling potatoes, scallions, baby kale, wild mushrooms, in a dill labne sauce. It's a large portion so very easily an entree that will fill you up. The Spice Roasted Chicken is $32.50 but is a very large entree that comes with Vietnamese style greens in a toasted chili-lime dipping sauce. These 3 dishes were a plenty of food for 2 people. After finishing a bottle of wine and satiated stomachs we didn't mind the 6 block walk in the bitter east coast cold. Will definitely return next time I'm in DC. read more

The food was delicious and very fresh! I loved the flavor combinations and high quality ingredients. The service was nice. Drinks were always full, server was friendly and accommodating. Th live plants gave it a fresh out side feeling. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Navy Yard. Every order is tasty and thoughtfully arranged, which is probably why this place received a Michelin star. Many people enjoy their weekend brunches, too. The decor is minimalist, but you may walk a block south to take around the Yards Waterfront park. Try the Manchego Cheesecake! read more

Chloe - Chloe Interior - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I was delightfully treated to a phenomenal fine dining experience at Chloe in Navy Yard, DC From the amazing quality of service to delectable entrees, my taste buds were spinning out of joy. We ordered the Crispy Fingerling Potatoes ($15), Caramelized Cauliflower ($15), Tuna Tartare ($19), Roasted Chicken ($32) and Lemongrass Steak ($24). It's hard to pick a favorite, but the chicken is probably my first pick with the potatoes and cauliflower a close second - the juicy and tender chicken went perfectly with the sour chili lime sauce. It's definitely on the pricier side, but for the quality you receive, it's more than well worth it. I can't recommend it enough, and I'll be sure to be back shortly. 5/5 read more

Humble request , fun to be with and always happy and want everyone around me to be happy as well as I am

Alright, I've been to Chloe a few times over the last few months and truly enjoyed my experience EVERY TIME. Food is sooo flavorful and the service is ALWAYS top notch. Things I LOVED about this restaurant: - The service is consistently AMAZING. I'm a sucker for good service and the team at Chloe doesn't miss. Most recently, Daran took care of my friends and I for a walk-in birthday dinner and he was FANTASTIC. It was pretty packed when we were there, but we never felt it. Now that I think about it...it's always pretty packed and still, service is amaze! - They let dogs on the patio area! As a new dog mom, I love being able to bring my pup to brunch or dinner and Chloe allows it (outside only...please don't show up with your pup expecting indoor seating because of this review). They also kept my pups water bowl topped off. He felt well taken care of as well. - Menu is pretty delicious. Everything is packed with such bold flavors! My taste buds are satisfied EVERY time. My faves so far: - Caramelized Cauliflower - Fingerling Potatoes - Penne Pasta - Yams and wild mushroom dish (Seasoned to perfection) - Gnocci (so I'm not a fan of Gnocci, but my friends loved it) - Manchego Cheesecake - Cocktail Menu is pretty popping too! - Everyone is wearing a mask Things I didn't love... - NOTHING. I'll definitely be back again...and again and again. read more

This place is a must try place in DC. They were given a Michelin star in 2021 and now that I've visited I can see why. Everything is shareable and served like tapas, when they are ready they come out. Every single dish we ordered was tasty and refreshing. You can tell they really spend their time in these plates. The service was fast, the server was even better. She was very thoughtful and as a server should be. The drinks were also made to perfection. I will be retuning to Chloe's when I am back in DC. read more

The food here was so delicious! There wasn't one menu item that we ordered that didn't taste good. I really liked the potato gnocchi and salmon. The bread was also delicious. Our server was very nice and helpful. I loved the atmosphere with all the plants and warm lighting. I will definitely be coming back to try other items. read more

This place was highly recommended online and was super close to our hotel so I grabbed a brunch reservation for right when it opened. Apparently, everyone else loves this place too because there was a huge crowd waiting for the door open. Despite the line, the host worked fast and got everyone seated quickly. Our server was super nice and bubbly. She was constantly checking up on us and really helped us with recommendations. She recommended 2-3 dishes per person which was pretty much ended being the perfect amount. We go the Warm Banana Bread, Crispy Churros, Crispy Fingerling Potatoes, Soft Scramble with Wild Mushrooms, Crispy Pork Belly, and a Warm Scallion Biscuit. Our server also served our sweet foods and savory foods separately so I kind of like that too. The banana bread was almost french toast like because of how caramel-y it was. The churros were so crispy and had a kind of creamy center. The bittersweet chocolate with the flaky salt really took it to another level. The soft scramble was ok, nothing crazy but it tasted good and the eggs were like butter. The pork belly was probably some of the best cooked pork belly I've had. The crispy parts melted in your mouth but definitely had a good amount of meat on it. You would think potatoes are just some side but these were so crispy and I could say better than most french fries I've had. The old bay and mayo they had on these were ridiculous. Lastly, the scallion biscuit is what you would wish a Popeyes biscuit would be. It was super buttery but moist. We also got two Tamarind Spritzes which were tangy but refreshing. Overall this place was A1 as far as brunches I've had in DC. It pretty much hits all categories for me and I left feeling satisfied and impressed. I definitely underestimated their menu. read more

We came by here first brunch last weekend and had a great experience! It's a very cute space and directly across the street from the Navy Yard Vida pool that we were going to after brunch. We ordered some Vietnamese coffees with coconut rum shots to start and they were delicious! We got basically every brunch lunch item. The menu is mostly tapas style so our party of 4 shared everything. We ordered: Churros, Mushroom poached egg with biscuit, banana bread, cauliflower, chicken, pork belly, fingerling potatoes, and penne pasta. Everything was delicious and really well done! We enjoyed every single dish which is pretty rare. The portions were definitely small-ish but packed which flavor. The service was on point and our waiter was tremendously friendly. Overall, we would definitely return to Chloe for brunch and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good spot in Navy Yard! read more

Saw the good reviews and Michelin star so decided to make a reservation online, luckily there was lots of availability early in the evening when they first open. Arrived and the restaurant was nearly empty besides the staff. Service was really really good, almost overbearing as there was probably five workers per customer on hand at least until 6pm when more people started coming in. I had the steak which was good but did not blow me away, was something that someone could get at a Vietnamese place for half the price minus the fancy plating. The fried cauliflower was good too and enough to split between at least two people if not three. Overall the food was solid but did not overly impress me. The service was great. read more

I wanted to celebrate my birthday a little belatedly and picked Chloe for the outing. Initially I had picked outdoor dining and they do have heat lamps but it was way too cold so when we arrived we requested a switch to indoor dining which they were able to accommodate. Service was great from start to finish. We ended up getting the fingerling potatoes, roasted cauliflower, the crispy whole fish and the manchego cheesecake. I wasn't in love with the cauliflower and the smashed fingerling potatoes were good but nothing super special. But the fish was my favorite. Crispy and perfect with the green dipping sauce they serve it with. Our server was nice enough to carve it up for us. I wish it came with more rice though since there was two of us. The cheesecake was a nice ending.. the acid from the sorbet on top cut against the density of the rich cheesecake and the pistachios and the fried vermicelli nests provided a nice textural contrast. I'd recommend Chloe for an outing. Service was good and ordering 2 or 3 plates would serve a group of 2-4 depending on appetite. It is a little pricey so definitely more of a special occasion place. read more

Solid food, solid service, reasonable price given the quality, especially with a group. A reliable upscale go-to

I have walked past this restaurant what feels like a thousand times and never ventured inside so when this place was suggested to me as a first date I was excited to try something new. As a yelper of course I had checked out the menu and reviews before arriving. First dates are always interesting but this place gave us something to bond and talk about. We had reservations for 7:45PM. We were both inside and seated around 7:40PM. We were given the table by the door after being asked if it was ok with us. The young man at the host stand was very friendly. My date explained this was his "go-to" restaurant in the city as he lived a little ways away and brought his family here a few times before and really enjoyed it. Our waitress, Elizabeth R., greeted us and asked had we dined with them before. I shared I had not while my date shared he had. She explained that the food served in like a "small plates" style and the plates could be shared, but you may want 2-3 per person. She came back after a few minutes and took our drink order (I had water) and my date ordered their version of an old fashion and the Crispy Fingerling Potatoes for us to share. After we ordered the potatoes she took my menu which was odd, but there was still one on the table we could share. We enjoy the conversation and the potatoes and eventually I order the Penne and he orders the Spice Roasted Chicken. Both were AMAZING. Very excited to eat my leftovers. As we were wrapping up our meal we tried to get Elizabeth's attention several times. We weren't in a rush but we also recognized we were within an hour of closing. Getting her attention seemed to be a task even though she walked past us multiple times to get to the table in the corner. We asked for boxes and she brings them but we wanted to get a container for the sauce on the chicken (really good btw). I think it's a chili-lime dipping sauce. We couldn't get her attention again so we just asked the young man at the host stand he grabbed it for us, no issue. At this point, my date and I now are just looking at each other like "is it us?" We were unsure. He takes his wallet and card out and sits it on the edge of the table and she walks by us a few more times. Now this is all we are talking about. She even goes and gets the other table their bill before ever even saying something as simple as "are you all doing ok over here?" We weren't even offered desserts. Around this same time we hear the manager talking to the ladies who just wrapped up their meal. Being this is a first date, I would have just said this was a fluke of an experience and trusted my dates word that he had never had this type of service. However, he decided to get Darren's (I hope I spelled that right) attention. The manager, Darren, was super nice and attentive. He told us it was Elizabeth's first night working there. He also shared that she mentioned the food all coming out at odd times as well. He offered to lower our bill to ensure we tipped, but honestly we were both able and willing to pay the bill. Elizabeth also proceeded to stand behind Darren while we were talking to him and whispering to the Host. It was a very weird experience all around. In all, I'm not sure what my date tipped or if he tipped at all. He would be justified in my book. Knowing it was her first day gives me pause, but also it was probably the oddest series of events I've experienced in years. After we left the restaurant, the manager followed us out and proceeded to offer us a desert to-go. We politely declined. I probably won't be back even though the food was good. However, my date shared he would revisit. read more

We had a reservation to sit outside but were able to grab two seats in the bar area instead. We started with a round of drinks, it was the It's Not a Handshake for my husband and a glass of rose for me. The second round was the Rebbie's New Acquaintance for my husband and a glass of chianti for me. For food we split the fresh ricotta, caramelized cauliflower, shrimp & andouille sausage gumbo and penne pasta. They were all great but our favorites were the cauliflower and pasta. I do recommend dessert, we chose the manchego cheesecake and it was tasty. Chloe is definitely worth checking out if you are in the DC area. read more

I love trying out new places and have heard great reviews for Chloe so was excited to get an alert on my phone when Chloe had an opening for dinner on Friday night. We were almost an hour late to reservations because our Lyft driver took several wrong turns. The restaurant worker with our new arrival time and was very welcoming upon arrival. The burrata was soft and slightly warm. It was oozing with goodness as I ran my knife through it. Let's also talk about the tomatoes in this dish. Oh.my.gosh. Sweet, flavorful, delicious! The hamachi was also good but a bit strong. The lime, sprouts, and avocado def help the dish. I'm not sure what the long pepper was called on the plate if pickles but it was my fav on the plate. The restaurant didn't offer complimentary bread and wished I had ordered it from the beginning! Some of the dishes just felt like it needed to be eaten with bread or something else. The hummus (smooth texture) and cauliflower was a big hit! So was the salmon, crispy on the outside and placed on some well flavored veggies and sauce. Food was good even though it was a bit pricier. The busboy we had was amazing. Our waiter could have been more attentive. Overall a great experience but hey, who doesn't love good food with a bunch of friends? Also wanted to add that Chloe is conveniently located near the waterfront and Nats stadium. read more

Chloe has been a Navy Yard staple for me for over a year now. Everyone working there is incredibly friendly, and the food never ceases to stun me. On my last trip there, my boyfriend and I ordered the spice roasted chicken which, was Vietnamese inspired and perfectly cooked. The Vietnamese inspired broccolini and delicate chili lime sauce paired perfectly with the chicken. The burrata (our appetizer) and cheesecake (our dessert) were equally great -I only wish they had more of the delicate sorbet that was on top of the cheesecake! I'm not sure if it was apricot or something with a similar flavor profile, but I could've eaten a whole bowl of it. read more

We were looking for a place to have brunch in Navy Yard and Chloe came up. From the online menu, I could see there were several things that interested me. We were able to find street parking across the street. We like the upscale vibe and the big windows. When we were seated, the server asked us if you wanted anything to drink and we got coffees. My decaf was excellent. When the server came back to take our orders. she informed us that they only serve small plates and it is suggested that each diner order three plates for sharing. Due to allergies and different food restrictions, it was hard to find things that we could share. We opted to get a couple of things to share, and a couple of plates that would be all ours. We ordered the warm banana bread with caramel sauce, fingerling, potatoes, the ricotta, and the egg, chorizo, and potato hash. The first thing to come out was the banana bread. It was a small slice, but very nicely presented and delicious. The next thing to come out was the ricotta, which was to be my husband's entrée. It seemed like we waited forever for the rest of the food to come out. I even had to ask the server what was happening. She said the food would be out. My entrée came out, the server said that the food comes out in courses. Nowhere on the menu does it indicate courses of any kind. The food is just listed. We would've preferred to have all the food come out at once so we could share. She said they don't like that. Final thing to come out was the fingerling potatoes. The potatoes were exquisite, with salt and rosemary in a wonderful cream sauce. All the food was outstanding. I took one star off because they did not clearly indicate on their website or menu that they serve small plates or adequately explain how the food would come out. The portions on the small plates are small and I have no idea how they think one egg is shareable. The prices are high since you have to order so many plates. I feel with just a few adjustments, Chloe could become a favorite stop for us. read more

This place is delicious. First things first, it's small plates, so best for sharing or ordering a few things per person. I'm glad I didn't know this ahead of time because I'm not really a fan of tapas style or small plates and probably wouldn't have gone here for brunch. I would have really missed out. We sat outside on a gorgeous almost-summer day and it was perfect. Our servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We tried a little bit of everything. The star of the show was the crispy chicken with jalapeño emulsion, jasmine rice, and cabbage slaw (each of us ordered our own as a meal and it was plenty). It was so good. Also tried the beet salad, wild flower honey butter toast, and fingerling potatoes - they were all fantastic. A few hours later though, my friend and I both felt a little sick like something didn't sit well. Our other friend didn't eat the fingerling potatoes because of the cream sauce they were served with (which was so yummy), and she felt fine after. Maybe we're just getting too old to handle creamy foods, damn it. That being said, I was still so happy with our brunch. Oh, and the Aperol Spritz was one of the best I've ever had! Looking toward to going back for dinner sometime. read more

I was prepared to be blown away ! But instead I left slightly disappointed. We we went the waiters suggestion of small, med and large plate orders . It was enough for a Party of three. Small plates were the Ricotta and Tuna. The Ricotta needed some layers of salty and acidic , the grapes helped with the sweetness. Tuna was flavorful and delicious, be sure to add a little or the wasabi sauce. Medium plates were the Caramelized cauliflower that had a tahini sauce covering and was gritty and displeasing on the palette for each of us . We wanted to like but didn't. The Gnocchi saved the night . It was flavorful, warm, buttery, earthy . It was a hit for all of us, our favorite bite of the night. Large plate , we landed on the spice chicken.. and unfortunately we had to send it back to be cooked longer , it caMe to our table slightly raw and pink . We insisted they cook it longer so we wouldn't have to wait long . It was good . The sauce made it interesting and appetizing. Dessert... these can be skipped. Oatmeal cookies (maybe flourless and butterless too ) and an apple crisp. They both lacked a elevated execution you would expect . The service and ambience kept this spot at a 4 star instead me 3. read more

Chloe is a pretty neat spot. I'd have to say that the staff and atmosphere is very welcoming. There were quite a few menu items consumed, from drinks, to salads, to pasta to fried fish. There was a lot of sampling and a lot of different flavors to consume. However I felt something was missing, so unless invited by someone, I think Chloe will be a one time thing for me. Pro: The hostess was very kind and so was our waitress. The jasmine rice that accompanies the fish was amazing. It was extremely fragrant and tasty. There was also a pasta dish (ziti I presume) that was very flavorful as well. The cons: I enjoyed the salty exterior of the crispy fish. However, there isn't enough for Jasmine Reischling to have with every fight to balance the salt. Additionally, the interior of the fish is tastless. So it would be great to have more rice to help balance everything together. I enjoy restaurants that don't have dedicated waiters or waitresses to each table. I recommend having the servers work as a team, therefore a person's need can be met quicker. read more

Chloe was great! I had been here years ago and I forgot what I had ordered but I remembered I liked it. This time we got the chicken which was perfectly cooked, the burrata winter salad which had great flavors, and the olive / pickle starters. All of the food was great and was good for the two of us where we were not super starving. The atmosphere here is great and the service was good too. I can't wait to go back another time. read more

What an amazing meal! The flavors pack a punch and the menu was diverse. We started with the tuna tartar that was my favorite. Our group of three shared the cauliflower, salmon, duck and penne. We liked the salmon so much we ordered a second one. The drinks were well crafted....aviators and old fashioneds. Our server was friendly and pleasant. Overall a perfect meal and atmosphere for a rainy Friday evening. read more

Nice restaurant in Navy Yard with great service. Food was delicious, loved the chicken and the penne with pork. Picked this place for a moderately nice night out. It was listed as "$$" which was reflected by the ambiance. Nice place but nothing insanely fancy. As a warning, to my surprise they only served "small plates" at $20-$30 each; so the tab added up quick. Waiter was awesome and the service was amazing! Would recommend this place but would be prepared for an expensive meal. read more

About a 2-2.5: We had heard from several friends that Chloe was a good choice for dinner, offering some tasty plates. We brought some friends visiting from out of town here for dinner - after studying the menu, we knew that we wanted to try the following for apps: +Fresh Ricotta - grilled housemade bread with honey crisp apples, raw honey, rosemary, and olive oil; this definitely gives you some fall vibes with the apple addition +the Autumn Burrata - with quinoa, fennel, roasted butternut, pepitas, and a pomegranate vinaigrette; the burrata was fresh +the Whipped Chicken Liver Mousse - with bacon-shallot jam, vin cotto, and grilled house bread; we weren't fans of the bacon-shallot jam; the mousse was okay +Garbanzo Falafel - with roasted garlic yogurt, mint, and pickled veggies; this was a little too dried out for us +Ahi Tuna Tartare - crispy nori tempura, Haas avocado, and a wasabi-soy emulsion; the nori were like tempura battered 'chips' +Little Gem Lettuce - with red grapes, radicchio, toasted pecans, and a gorgonzola dressing For the entrees, we tried: +the Penne Pasta - with spicy pork ragout, soffrito, crushed tomatoes, thyme, and pecorino; this had an off-putting pork odor to it, so our party was not into this dish +Potato Gnocchi - with wild mushrooms, butternut squash, scallions, Parm, and black truffle butter; the gnocchi were soft and with a slight crisp exterior +Norwegian Salmon - with marinated cucumbers, castelventrano olives, grilled piquillo peppers, and dill labneh; slightly overcooked +and, the Crispy Whole Fish - with steamed jasmine rice, tomatillo salsa verde, and coriander; the fish was flakey, but we felt that it lacked flavors We knew we had to order some shareable sides with the mains, so we went for: +the Crispy Fingerling Potatoes - with boardwalk malt mayo, Old Bay, and sea salt +Pan Roasted Shiitake & Cremini Mushrooms - prepared with ginger, garlic, chilies, soy, and toasted sesame +and, the Creamed Lancaster County Sweet Corn - with cracked pepper, sheep's milk cheese, and chives The open kitchen with the shelving of various plants was a nice touch. Service was okay, but we would have liked to have been checked in throughout our dining experience more often. They have both an inside as well as a patio seating. +okay service +reservations accepted read more

I discovered Chloe about 3 years ago. It just doesn't disappoint, each of the dining experience here is a pleasure. I remember one time the waiter made a mistake, and I loved how we were treated, he just brought as champagne, it was so nice to feel that the staff cares for their guests. Love the vibe, tasty and nice plated food, tried all menu items, and liked it all. The only think that I can remember that on one of the dinners, the falafel was too spicy and salted, but otherwise all perfect. I just like it, and totally recommend as one of the best spots in DC, the Yards area. read more

So Chloe has been on my list for probably 5 years (shame on me) and I finally went but it was a Covid-19 to go order due to the crappy weather. Pate Campagne $14 pistachio, bing cherries, frisee, charred scallion mustard *really delicious pate - great flavors and textures and the grilled bread was perfect - great bread can really enhance a pate Norwegian Salmon $19 heirloom tomatoes, summer squash, fingerling potatoes, filet beans, dill labne *salmon had a beautiful crispy crust (even with a to go order whaaaa) and I loved the accompaniment of vegetables and potatoes; I also found myself dipping the salmon into the thick dill labne on every bite I can't wait to come back to try the crudo, cauliflower and gnocchi. read more

LOVE Chloe!!! The service is amazing (always super friendly), and the food is unique and really special! It's a great atmosphere inside or outside. This time, we got the ricotta with strawberries. Just WOW. So fresh but still creamy and not too sweet. The grilled bread was the perfect complement. Next we had the cauliflower. Always a knock out!! It's a must! The tahini was so nutty and the portion was great! The pork belly was honestly really flavorful and cooked perfectly, and I'm usually not a fan of that cut. We also got the scallion biscuit and it was SO warm and savory. Please get it for the table!! Both desserts really surprised me!! The banana bread was warm and balanced, and the chia seed pudding was delicate but bursting with flavor! Next brunch or date night, Chloe is a must!! read more

I initially bookmarked Chloe after seeing pictures of their Hamachi Crudo dish. So when I happened to be in the area, I was eager to give them a try. I was there around 3:30pm on a Saturday with no reservation. Even though the place was empty except for maybe one or two parties inside and outside, the hostess told me no other seats were available except for the bar which offers full service. Unfortunately, they were still serving their brunch menu but I was hungry, so I ordered La Lavande to drink and for food I got the Crispy Cauliflower and Smoked Salmon Tartine. Per their menu, La Lavande was supposed to be lavender-infused vodka and bubbles. Unfortunately, I didn't taste much of the lavender but a whole lot of bubbles. I would definitely not order this drink again and there were really no other drinks that sounded interesting on their menu. The cauliflower was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. As for the smoked salmon tartine - as you can see from the picture, it was just that. Slices of bread with cucumbers and smoked salmon. Definitely not worth the $16 price tag. By the time I was done with my food, they started serving dinner; however, the hamachi crudo I wanted to try is no longer on the menu. Also, the same tables that were empty when I first came in, were still empty when I was leaving about an hour later. Clearly, they could've given me a table but chose not to. I don't think I will be going back. read more

I've been to Chloe twice and I've had two completely different experiences which is why I have to give it 2.5-3 stars. Pre-covid I went to Chloe with my sister and the food tasted amazing, we absolutely loved everything we ordered. We went with the grilled house bread, roasted cod, potato gnocchi, the special of the day, warm lemon cake, and the manchego cheesecake. Aside from the house bread, which was too burnt and nothing memorable, the other dishes were flavorful and you could taste every little detail they put on each plate. The highlight was the roasted cod, it's a must get. The desserts were so intricate and delicate at the same, we liked both. First time at Chloe was great 5/5. During COVID: I returned to Chloe about a month ago and ordered the roasted cod again since the other dishes I wanted to try were sold out. When I tried the roasted cod dish it was literally night and day compared to my first experience. The cod was bland, absolutely tasteless even with everything on the plate: the sauce...nothing could help it. The cod was sitting on top of a bed of ginger greens and garbanzo beans. The beans were terribly underdone, they were so hard and since they weren't cooked long enough the flavor from the sauce didn't soak in, so that also tasted terrible. Chloe second time 2/5. I was so shocked that such an amazing first experience could drop that far. I understand it's covid but for the food quality and execution to tank that far with a limited menu has halted my interest in coming here, at least until covid has fully subsided. read more

Disclaimer- My only experience at Chloe is ordering safe pick-up during the COVID-19 crisis. My wife went during normal times and really enjoyed their brunch. Sometimes fancier restaurants don't do great take-out. The food just tastes better in the restaurant. That is NOT the case for Chloe. During COVID-19, I safely picked up dinner for five at their restaurant in Navy Yard. Each item we ordered was delicious. Here's what I recommend: 1) Sheep's milk ricotta- order the side bread to have extra things to spread it on 2) Crispy fingerling potatoes- the malt mayo it comes with is killer 3) Crispy cauliflower- we ordered two to help feed five 4) Spice roasted chicken 5) Potato gnocchi- this was so good 6) Shrimp and scallion dumplings I highly recommend Chloe! read more

I love the Navy Yard area, Chloe had a cute outdoor seating area set up with heating lamps. For brunch they do small (medium, really) plates and recommend 2-3 to make a full meal. These four dishes shared between me and my homegirl were more than enough: warm banana bread, spice french toast, sunny side eggs with chorizo and potato hash, and crispy fingerling potatoes. The food was sooooo good. My favorite was the eggs with chorizo joint. The romesco sauce it was in was bomb-- super zesty. And omg, the mayo-based aioli the potatoes dish was in-- SO good. It's really just mayo, old bay, and a few other things (but I highkey wanted to lick the plate). read more

The food is good but this place is way overpriced and over-hyped. $200 for six tiny small plates, and a couple of drinks? The faux-jito was not good - I could make it myself with club soda and a lemonade flavor, which I do at home with my soda stream. I have had good faux-jitos - the one at Water Bar in Crystal City is so real, I had to double-check that it didn't have alcohol. Chloe was not busy at all but our waitress still spent most of the time talking to her coworkers instead of taking our order. If you're making $$$ corporate money, then it's a great place for dinner. For us plebs, there are plenty of places to get the same or better food (AND a similar ambiance) for half the price. read more

Came here for brunch on Saturday. We made a reservation and were seated outside but it was too chilly so we opted to sit at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and helped me identify things I could eat, as I have several food sensitivities. I got the salmon tartine without the bread.
