Chinese•$$$

Philippe Downtown, located in the Dream Hotel, stays true to Chef Chow’s modern take on traditional Chinese cuisine situated in a sophisticated yet hip fine dining restaurant. Upon arrival, guests can take an elevator or enjoy navigating a mirrored staircase lit by delicate gold fixtures that leads into a highly designed contemporary dining room. Seating options vary from luxuriously upholstered banquettes to free standing tables situated under a gold leafed ceiling. The main bar, located in the back of the dining area, includes a DJ booth adding a vibrant energy to the dining experience. Full buyouts of the restaurant can accommodate up to 225 guests. The Emperor Private dining room hosts up to 40 guests with décor that is super luxurious and laden with glamorous fixtures like the crocodile embossed banquets and gilded chandeliers. The main dining room can be divided into three semi-private sections ideal for larger gatherings of 20 to 180 guests. All meals are served family style unless otherwise requested. Family style is where all food ordered is placed on the table along with serving utensils and your guests serve themselves. This type of service is very festive and everyone in your party will get to taste all of the dishes.
