My family gave me kudos for picking Amazonia. The experience and food were overall great. However, I feel the skewers, especially the asparagus and salmon belly were underwhelming. The rest of the food was phenomenal.

What a wonderful reception we received upon arriving; each of our party of five was greeted individually as if we were family members. Each dish was as delicious as it was beautifully plated (I had the shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and a marvelous sauce). The service was impeccable with the waitstaff being there when we needed him but he didn't hover. Thank you, RT's, from a group of reuniting friends who had THE BEST time in a remarkable setting.
