About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Innovative
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.

    Husband and I loved our experience at this restaurant. The decorations and beautiful and our waitress was very helpful familiarizing us with the menu and making recommendations. The cocktail menu was fantastic and my husband tried their special white rum. We ordered a bunch of plates and shared. Highlights were the appetizer scallops with Parmesan, mushroom skewers (surprisingly) and the hot octopus dish. Looking around at other people’s plates though, you can’t go wrong. Service was also great. Very attentive staff.

    Wonderful food, service and atmosphere! A bit pricey for portions, but food is high quality and thus worth it. Our server made the evening enjoyable.
