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.

This was one of the most thoughtful, interesting and exciting dining experiences I’ve had this year. I almost never take the time to leave a positive review, but they absolutely earned it. The food was amazing and kudos to Benjamin, our waiter, he made the experience so delightful. His recommendations were absolutely spot on. I was planning my next visit before we left.

Kristen, Kristin? Our server was amazing. Knowledgeable and great table presence. All of the food was just incredible and the wine was exceptional. Loved the playlist, good fun vibes even my 62yo white mom liked the music I will say the patacones were a bit dense and underwhelming

Amazing. 10/10. Food was so flavorful. Kristen, our waitress, was incredible. She offered suggestions on the menu and did not lead us astray. Food, cocktails, service, and ambiance were top class. Will definitely be back. Thank you for making our anniversary special. Cheers!

I my choices on the cibechi wasn't it. They were both cold food and I am more of a hot meal type. Otherwise great potential and great service.
AmazoniaResponded on 3 December 2024
Hi Damilola, Thank you for giving us a try. So sorry you were caught off guard by the cold cebiche, it's a traditional cold fish dish with cold citrus leche de tigre. We'd love to have you back and show you other offerings off the hot side of our kitchen.
