From beginning to end, the service was impeccable. From the greeter to the server, bartender to the manager, all were friendly, knowledgeable, and all clearly have a passion for their work. China Chilcano has a lively, vibrant ambience. The food is among the best and most unique in all of DC. And the pisco drinks are inventive, fun, and delicious.
