Really great food. However, even though we arrived on time for our reservation, we had to wait close to 15 minutes to be seated. With a group of six celebrating someone’s birthday this was not ideal.

We needed help to understand some items on the menu. It was interesting and fun. But too noisy for us.

Stopped in on a Tuesday night for dinner. Both did the tasting menu with drinks. The food and service was excellent. Service started a little quickly, but when they realised that we were not in a rush, they changed the pace. Andrew the server was great, attentive nut not overly so. Definitely recommend, and will definitely be going back.

We were with our son, a chef from out of town. He lived in Hawaii and is sophisticated in the kind of food offered by China Chilcano. He loved the food, was impressed by the service. We heartily agreed with him. Thank you for giving us a wonderful experience.
