Globally inspired small plates, creative cocktails, and chic ambiance
"Chloe is the kind of place you want to show off to out-of-town guests to prove you’re “in the know.” Grab a seat at the Mediterranean spot’s long Nordic dining table that’s great for long-winded conversations about the latest Smithsonian gallery opening—something you secretly Googled right before dinner. The menu highlights locally-sourced vegetables and ingredients, like crisp and tender fried cauliflower and golden Old Bay fingerling potatoes." - tristiana hinton, mekita rivas
"Our brunch plan for the huge seasonal menu at this Navy Yard spot always includes the warm banana bread topped with caramel sauce and chantilly cream, a smoked salmon tartine, and sunny-side up eggs with chorizo and potato hash. Keep the party going with caramelized cauliflower, fingerling potatoes, and fresh ricotta served with strawberries, raw honey, olive oil, and grilled bread. Yes, that’s quite the spread, but if you’re gearing up for a baseball game at Nationals Park down the street, you’ll need your fill." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
"Seasoned D.C. chef Haidar Karoum — formerly of Proof, Estadio, and Doi Moi — makes food that reflects his life story. Featured menu items range from traditional pate and a hummus bolstered by spiced beef to roasted Vietnamese chicken with chile-lime dipping sauce and whole fish flanked by salsa verde. The restaurant is available for indoor or outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery (via Caviar)." - Tierney Plumb
"Offers an eclectic and personalized menu reflecting global influences, located in the trendy Navy Yard district." - MICHELIN Guide
"Tucked into the trendy Navy Yard district, Chloe’s menu is eclectic, deeply personalized and reflects Chef Haidar Karoum's diverse resume. The shareable plates menu gathers ingredients from across the globe, presenting them in original and consistently delicious ways.Kick off with the likes of hamachi crudo augmented by fish sauce, Thai chilies and thin slabs of avocado; or spiced veal hummus topped with buttered almond slivers and accompanied by fresh-baked naan. For something more hearty, there's penne with a pork ragù that's imbued with a Spanish-style soffrito and loads of domestic pecorino. Close with a cheese plate or salted pecan-oatmeal cookies—and worry about your waistline later." - Michelin Inspector
