Venture into the relaxed ambiance of Amazonia, our inviting upstairs bar, dining room and rooftop hideaway. As one of the first Amazonian restaurants in the U.S., discover the exotic flavors and ingredients from Peru's rainforest, as well as favorite Peruvian staples. Here you can explore a thoughtfully curated selection of pisco and imaginative cocktails. The dishes you'll enjoy in Amazonia are meant for sharing, and are expertly prepared by the very same skilled kitchen team from Causa downstairs.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Carlos Delgado

From the OpenTable editors: Tropical vibes reign supreme at award-winning Causa’s colorful sibling restaurant and lounge. Dig into a Peruvian menu of anticuchos (grilled meat skewers), elegant seafood-forward dishes, and top-notch cocktails in the energetic, plant-strewn dining room or on the shady rooftop patio.

The staff are exceptional. Food was interesting and high quality. Tim helped us navigate the extensive menu. Pisco sours were perfect. They had an issue with the HVAC which was blowing cold air on our party and the manager brought us some desserts and a round of drinks. Very nice gesture.

Always great food and nice service. A main problem (besides the usual moose) is that the restaurant was surrounded by ice, so impossible to get to. I won’t go there again until winter is over.

This is our 3rd visit to Chef Carlos Delgado’s restaurant. We select this restaurant bc each time we are delighted by everything we order, from the bar to the kitchen. Random tip: Order the el Cacao cocktail if you can appreciate a drink with complexity, not terribly sweet, well balanced, mysterious and has a wonderful smoke to it. We ended up ordering a 2nd round and would return just to have it again (complements to the bartender). Each bite of all 5 dishes we ordered is like unpacking a gift or going on an adventure. Your taste buds will be like Princess Jasmine on a magic carpet ride. My husband has a dairy allergy and usually we feel cheated by eliminating menu items with dairy but not at Amazonia!! The service is also consistently amazing. Our napkin was folded when we returned from the restroom. Dribbled sauce was always wiped up. The water was refilled and our server gave excellent suggestions. No need to hesitate booking an evening here.
