Amazonia (2nd Floor) | Causa (1st Floor)

Amazing service from the moment we walked in. The team gave a personal touch throughout the journey and were very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was incredible and the value of food for the experience was perfect. We walked out very full and very grateful for an amazing night! Could not recommend enough!

Loved the upstairs space! Drinks were delicious and service was excellent.

Excellent vibe, service and food. Check in at the front desk on the lower level and then head up the stairs to a little slice of Peru! Pisco sour was boozy and delicious. Can’t go wrong with any of the ceviches as your app, although if you like ponzu sauce then go with the Nikkei ceviche. Two minor opportunities for improvement: 1. Point the outside fans directly at the nearest tables instead of at the roof like they are now. When we sat outside it was hot, and I would rather deal with things blowing around than hot, stagnant air. 2. The servers had to explain the menu a LOT (heard it four times as other guests were seated after we got the 5-minute guided tour thru the menu). Could the menu be laid out more clearly, or could support text be added to it to give patrons an easier way to understand and choose between the excellent options, without a monologue? Regardless, we’ll be back again the next time we’re in town!

Excellent experience. Had a group of 5 and we shared a variety of dishes that were flavorful and well executed. The drinks were different but well crafted with a nice balance of flavors. Service was great, they explained the menu and dishes and made recommendations that helped narrow down our choices. Would definitely go back to try more things!

DC has some exceptional restaurants right now, but our experience at Amazonia this week was truly a cut above. Every course was distinctive, beautifully executed, and memorable. The food drove the conversation at our table, which is no small feat given the wide range of palates and preferences in our family. Dish after dish, everyone agreed that the flavors, combinations, and presentation were remarkable. The Scallops a la Parmesana appetizer could easily have been a full meal, and we will return for that dish alone. The Pulpo al Josper was unique and interesting in the best possible way. The fish of the day, prepared in banana leaves, was a major hit, as was their famous Lomo Saltado. The Bluefin Tuna Akami from the fish market menu may have been the most impressive and delicious sashimi presentation we have ever had. The General Manager, Dimitri, could not have been more hospitable. He spent time with our table—and clearly with guests throughout the dining room—sharing the chef’s vision, explaining the stories behind the dishes, and thoughtfully answering more questions than he probably had time for, despite an unsurprisingly packed Tuesday night. The entire front-of-house team was welcoming, polished, and professional, and our server was a true pro. Amazonia is now at the top of our list in DC for bringing friends and family, and we are already planning a date night at Causa.

It's super over priced for what it is. The service is great as is the atmosphere, but don't get anything more than drinks here.

This place gives huge forest vibes, so beautiful..fell in love with their lomo saltado, chicken skewers & one of the sugarcane and corn drink forgot the name, definitely a must visit place. Staff is great. Thanks

Absolutely amazing experience at Amazonia last night. Every bite was a flavor explosion and truly unique and the service was top notch. We are already planning our return and will be bringing friends!!

This place was very much okay or less than okay. I followed “bayleesbelly” on Instagram, and honestly I don’t understand how she could have rated this so high. Definitely read the menu before coming. Also they make you wait for 30 minutes for your “hot” meal, and also charge 20% to boot. Please save your money and go somewhere else.

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.

Very interesting decor. We were seated in the back so it was a little dark, especially with the cloudy weather. The section with the skylight is bright even on a cloudy day. Our server Lola was fabulous. Took great care of us and gave good suggestions. The madurito was fantastic! I could just eat that all day. The anticucheria skewers weren't bad. I had pulpo (octopus) for the first time. It reminded me of scallops. I wasn't a fan of the seasoning, but the mashed potatoes it sat under were delicious. The lomo saltado was decent. The chica morada mocktail was delicious. As was the seasonal mocktail. For dessert the chocolucuma was soo good. It was moist and the ice cream was tasty. The ungurahui açaí was good too. Overall it was a great dining experience. I would go back and try other menu items.

I was very disappointed in the food based on the chefs accolades and reviews. The atmosphere and service was stellar. We started off strong with amazing drinks and good skewers, but that was about it. The “Ceviche” was just tuna sashimi with a dime size piece of avocado. The famous lomo Saltado was such a let down. It was unflavored rice with veggies swimming in sauce that tasted like a brick of salt. The meat was cooked well but was still very hard to chew through, I question if it was actual Wagyu. Finally, dessert! I’m happy to say the chazuta was the highlight of the meal. The most unique dessert I’ve ever had!
