"The high-energy Bar Chinois concept expands across the Potomac to National Landing, bringing its Frenchified cocktails and Chinese dim sum–style plates along with popular orders such as black pepper duck, crab Rangoon, bao buns, and chicken karaage. Familiar daily deals — including $1 dumplings and half-priced cocktails during a 4–6 p.m. window — will roll out next month. The 90-seat, turquoise-toned interior includes a large 58-seat patio; partners Dean Mosones, Mark Minicucci, and Margaux Donati mark this as their third project after other area venues." - Tierney Plumb
