Amazonia

“We have dined there twice and the food, service, and atmosphere was superlative. If you are looking for a special evening/experience you need not look further. The reservation was honored on time although we would have been happy to sit at the bar for a cocktail. We asked for a private dining experience for a family going away dinner and arrived to find a dedicated menu for our table with wine pairings. Personalized menus were printed for us to take as a momento. We experienced a multi- course dinner that explore Causa’s extensive menu. Each course and wine pairing was explained by our server to highlight special ingredients and wine regions. If you are looking for a lovely evening out or a special dinner to memorialize a special occasions Causa/Amazonia will fulfill your wish.”

“Enter through the main entrance of Causa, and the staff will direct you upstairs to Amazonia. Be sure to make a reservation well in advance, it’s absolutely worth it. The restaurant has a warm atmosphere with so much attention to detail throughout from the artwork and prints to the wall design and overall decor. The food and cocktails is outstanding. The lomo saltado is exceptional, and the ceviche is always a great choice. Dishes are designed for sharing and arrive at different times, allowing you to enjoy the meal at a relaxed pace. For two people, two appetizers and two entrees are plenty. The only dish I would skip is the patacones, which were overwhelmed by the sauce and lacked the balance of the other menu items.”

“5/5 date night. Amazonia's drinks and food were on point, service was great, and the atmosphere was apropos for a restaurant themed after the Amazon... We started with drinks, the Amazonian punch was the clear favorite of the 3 ordered; they do a very strong smoke and the drink is served with a mate straw. El cacao was very spirit forward, did not have the cacao smoke that was described on the menu but was still quite tasty with small notes of cacao (you can see the fragments). The scallop parm appetizer was very savory and the sauce was to die for, slightly tart with cumin it hits the right spots on the tongue for the first dish of the night. We followed up with filet mignon and pork belly skewers, paired with what I'm guessing is a toum-style aioli and in-house sriracha? The skewers were delicious by themselves, I love sriracha but it was strong enough to cover up the seasoning of the skewers. The pork belly was melt in your mouth delicious, preferred that over the filet. We ordered the seasonal scallop ceviche and bluefin sashimi, both were delicious and the sauces were quite unique leaning on the tart/sour side, seems to be tamarind and lime as well. Ended with the pulpo al josper and chocolucuma; the octopus was very tender pairing very well with the mashed potatoes texture. The cake paired with ice cream dessert was also delicious and I can't believe I ate that much of it given that I can't have much dairy. The service was exceptional, staff was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to provide great recommendations on what to order next. The restaurant vibe was also buzzing, many folks here on date night with cool beats playing in the background. The volume is a bit high so it's not whisper-quiet but closer to busy coffee shop volumes. Order at least 3 to 4 dishes to share for 2 people, get at least 1-2 drinks a person. The Amazonia punch was the favorite of the night, I'd have gotten 3 of those if it were one of those nights...”

“Amazonia Service here is exceptional. I had the menu explained from front to back by Tony, and I asked for recommendations and was given some great choices, most of which I went with. One of the items I was thinking about was gifted by the chef. The Scallops were particularly delectable, like nothing I've had. The salmon belly skewer melted in my mouth. Ceviche Amazonia came together nice…. I also tried the Lomo saltado and that was really good as well. The drinks were 🔥 had my first Pisco Sour and El cacao was very good. I left stuffed and Ashley was amazing, making all of her tables feel special. I even got a follow-up email from Carly thanking me for visiting. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in recent memory. I can't wait to go back!”

“We decided to try Amazonia as it was one of the Sapphire reserve dining and I’ve never been here before. I’ve eaten in many Peruvian restaurants since the 1990s as its cuisine/flavors is a fusion of Asian and South American culture. We tried the Lomo Saltado - with wagyu beef, ceviche mix to carretillero with razor clam, and pulpo al jasper. First dish: ceviche. Little bland but fresh Second dish: pulpo- more flavor. Octopus was nicely cooked Lomo: little salty. Wagyu beef was well cooked. Again little salty. Saltado is traditionally stir fry but this was more like a stew. Personally, I prefer the “classic” Saltado whether it be Lomo saltado or with other meat. There is something special about having French fries thrown in and stirred fried in the saltado. Also what was missing was the pickled onions/salsa criolla. That’s usually my favorite “condiment”. Service was point on. Atmosphere was nice. It has a sitting area that would be nice during spring and fall weather or cooler summer days In all, solid 4/5 star.”
