Everything was amazing! The food and the service were great, the only complaint we had was the wait for the food and desserts was a little long but besides that honestly can’t really complain and we will be back! We were a bigger group so that’s probably why there was a longer wait! Every dish we had was absolutely delicious so it was well worth it!

Second time at Amaru and the food never disappoints. Even though our drinks came in way after our appetizers arrived, we enjoyed our time there. The sweet plantains were delicious and had to order them twice because they are the best botana. We ordered as well the branzino and the lomo boliviano which were pretty good. Definitely worth the wait.
