After enjoying cocktails at Peachy's Cocktail Bar (downstairs), the vibes continued at Chinese Tuxedo and we were definitely ready to try a couple of menu items. - Crispy eggplant (crispy, flavorful, a tad oily) - Spicy cucumbers (nice spice to it) - Shrimp & garlic chive crystal dumplings (not bad) - Vegetarian xo fried rice (delicious!) - Stir fried snake river beef sirloin (beef was cooked perfectly) - Espresso martini - Paradise park cocktail They're small plates so order a couple to share amongst each other. Highly suggest making reservations to both spots. I booked via Resy and was able to call to get reservations close enough between the bar and dinner. They were so accommodating. Definitely would visit again for date night or with my girls.

Really enjoyed dinner here. Make sure to get reservations as it gets crowded on weekend nights. The interior surprised me with how big it was and the ambiance was great. The food items are delicious. Their dumplings and eggplant dishes were really good. Loved the twist on some of the items too.

Incredible Experience at Chinese Tuxedo From the moment we walked in, Chinese Tuxedo was something special. The entrance leads you down into a beautifully decorated lower dining room with a vibe that's both elegant and inviting. The service was top-notch--there was always someone checking in, making sure everything was perfect without being intrusive. We had an early reservation, but the 2.5 hours flew by so fast it felt like minutes. Now, the food--this isn't your typical Chinese restaurant. Every dish had spectacular flavors, but what really stood out were the unique offerings I'd never even heard of before. On top of that, the plating was incredibly creative, making each dish feel like an experience on its own. Overall, an unforgettable meal and one I'd highly recommend. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Very cool space -- it used to be an opera house. The food was good, especially the dumplings and pork. My only complaint would be that some of the food was lukewarm. Service was great!
Had an incredible time at Chinese Tuxedo! My best friend and I came here after seeing it on RHONY, and I'm so glad we did. The atmosphere was amazing, the music was on point, and the food and wine selection--just wow! From our host, to the waitress, and fun sommelier, the service was quick, genuine, and lively! We ordered tapas-style, which was the perfect way to try a little bit of everything. Every dish was delicious, and the whole experience was top-tier. I'll definitely be back. Great for girls night, date night, everything. Highly recommend!
