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.

We had a wonderful time. The food was fantastic: fresh, delicious and unique. Service was top notch and it was a fun environment. Cocktails were tasty. Price-wise it’s expensive but worth it! I especially enjoyed the chazuta dessert, and my significant other particularly enjoyed the skewers (really great flavor).

Good food but service was abrupt and unusually inattentive requiring us to get waiter Benjamin’s permission to move items in the table (odd); he was also brusque, unhelpful and confusing in selecting items from the menu. The whole fish was good but other dishes disappointed like bucatini pasta. Ultimately a disappointing experience given we spent over $500 for 4 people. Perhaps causa the downstairs restaurant will be better. Not coming back.

Ambiance and decor is great. Cocktails are very creative and tasty. The food was great. Fish/ceviche were very fresh and had great flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor as well. The pasta was very good but rich/heavy from oils. We had it as our last course and were already semi full. The service was slow. Staff was very nice but they needed more servers. It seemed like they had one server for the entire roof so it took about 20 min to get our first course of raw fish and then after we finished that it was another 25-30 min before the second course came. It was a 3 hour dinner.

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.

The sashimi moriawase, the chaufa, the ceviche—hard to pick a favorite. The drinks are flawless, as expected. The staff balances Amazonia’s hype with calm, effortless perfection, making every visit feel natural and unpretentious. Warm and welcoming, they genuinely want guests to leave feeling great about their experience. Good to see Michelin renewing the star for Causa downstairs—well deserved. Remember, it’s the same kitchen serving both Causa and Amazonia.
