Sneak peek: Q by Peter Chang restaurant in Bethesda (Photos)

The sign is installed and lit at Q by Peter Chang, located at 4500 East-West Highway. Arguably the most-anticipated Bethesda restaurant opening scheduled for 2017, the acclaimed chef's flagship venture is also making a bid to be the best-looking. Already the interior is making use of unique lighting and design accents, while taking full advantage of the main dining room's dimensions.

You can take a virtual tour of the dining room on the Q by Peter Change website, which is now online. Interestingly, the colored lighting of the designs above the dining room is not shown in the 3-D model, so it's clear that the finished interior will be even more impressive than the renderings. Q by Peter Chang is expected to open before summer, although the official grand opening date has not yet been announced.

Best Chinese food in the area by far. Delivery to my house? Oh yeah babe!

Admit it, Dyer - you're still pining for the McDonalds.

So, a new restaurant and nightspot for Bethesda? +1 for Hans Riemer!

Robert Dyer said...

5:34: It's a restaurant, not a nightclub, and Hans Riemer had zero to do with this. 10 nightclubs have closed in Bethesda since Riemer launched his failed "nighttime economy" initiative, so not anything to brag about.

6:01: There's no dispute that 10 bars have closed in that time period. #Facts

It makes sense when you say that this is a restaurant and not a nightclub. Can you clarify how Riemer has zero to do with openings but closings are his fault?

Riff Rafferty said...

@5:45, legitimate question here, not trying to troll. If this restaurant opening has zero to do with Hans Riemer, how can you tie-in the Bibibop Asian Grill to him and the County Council? It makes absolutely no sense to me other than to assume you have a personal vendetta and bias against him.

This is a very fair question.

Robert Dyer said...

7:17: Nighttime economy. 10 bars close. Riemer has to own that, since he said he was going to grow nightlife, not shrink it.

7:18: One minute later, "Riff." Nice job. How did I tie BIBIBOP to the Council? They have nothing to do with it. I tied them to our embarrassing position behind Columbus, Ohio in the competition for tech jobs.

Wanting to improve Montgomery County is not a "personal vendetta." Maybe ask Riemer about his personal vendetta, in his involvement in creation of websites angel-funded by his friends in the MoCo political cartel, that they thought would divert people away from my news websites.

@5:45 did Bethesda even really have "nightclubs" or are you grouping night clubs and bars together? I would assume many of these new restaurants also have bars?

Let's dispense with the notion that Reimer had any success with his nightlife economy initiative. Even The Washington Post said that Reimer had failed.

Robert Dyer said...

7:30: You must be new to town - Relic, BlackFinn, Parva, etc. were indeed nightclubs. Just having a bar, as most restaurants have, doesn't make you a bar or nightclub.

I visited Mr. Chang's restaurant in Stafford with my friend Josh back in 2016. We had a great meal and then I dropped him off at a Crate & Barrel to meet his fiancé!

Anonymous said...

Parva (per their own descriptions) was a "Latin fusion restaurant," and a "restaurant, bar, and lounge."

How is it that you call it a "nightclub?"

Anonymous said...

Josh didn't know his fiance? Weird.


hehe

Dyer, if I recall correctly, you also counted RiRa as one of your ten closed "nightclubs." If anyone every said "Let's go out to a club," and then took me to RiRa, I'd have them committed.

Parva closed in part because of harassment from a resident of the Fairmont Plaza across the street.

7:58 - I hope you realize that "fiance" refers to a dude.

9:28 AM Always funny when folks move to a downtown, urban area and then complain it's not quiet enough.

Relic & BlackFinn were poppin!

All the East Bethesda residents complaining about development. Sigh.

Robert Dyer said...

8:02: You obviously were never upstairs at Parva. It was absolutely a nightclub, and one of the few to offer bottle service. Try asking for that at Applebee's.

Bars often have "restaurant" in the name to get daytime business. Anybody complaining about the loud music at Parva can tell you it was a nightclub.

Robert Dyer said...

9:11: We're talking about both bars and nightclubs. Ri-Ra was a bar, not a nightclub (Relic, Parva, Union Jack's, etc.). 10 nightspots (bars and nightclubs) closed under Riemer's reign of error. What is so hard to understand about that?

Anonymous said...

How many closed before Riemer's "reign of error?"

Robert, Parva was a piece of trash "club". Not a single person who lived in Bethesda went there or wanted it in their town. If that's what you want more of, I definitely won't be voting for you ever!

Yeah

I'm asking a serious question. How many closures before Riemer's "reign of error?"
