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.

    Last year we went to Causa for our 5th year anniversary so this year we went upstairs for our 6th year anniversary. What an experience! Excellent service, food was tremendously presented and tasted so good. We will be back. Shoutout Chef Carlos!

    Wow! Just wow! The whole fish service is fantastic! They give you a list of not just the types of fish they have, but the individual fish and how much it weighs. Then they will cook that fish in several ways. Cold preparations like sashimi ceviche and tiradito, and many hot preps. We were just 2 people, so we had a small sea robin and they made ceviche and tiradito. They drinks are sublime. You must visit this place of thought like fish!!

    Thank you for your kind words! We love creating a vibrant atmosphere and there’s always something new shaking behind the bar. Glad you enjoyed the energy in the bar area—if you're ever in the mood for a more laid-back vibe, we have cozy spots too. Can’t wait to have you back for another round and those unforgettable scallops!

    The food came too fast and the drinks too slow. The pace was overwhelming and could have been better if you paced the food properly.

    I think ordering fish would have been better. The lomo saltado was ok. The chocolate cake was bland. The chilcano was amazing. Service was amazing. Ambiance also amazing.
