About

This spot is best for 30- to 50-somethings who want Japanese small plates and ramen in a casually upscale setting. The 1920s decor gives it a distinctive atmosphere, and the menu emphasizes seafood alongside tapas-style dishes. Chaplin's also stays open late, making it a solid option for a post-show meal in Downtown DC.

Expect a mixed gay-straight crowd and an outdoor patio when weather permits. If you're planning a bigger night out, nearby Jaleo offers Spanish tapas as another small-plates option in the neighborhood.
