Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Carlos Delgado

From the OpenTable editors: Tropical vibes reign supreme at award-winning Causa’s colourful sibling restaurant and lounge.

    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.

    Fabulous and unique!!! They make a special effort to introduce you to the fruits, ingredients and recipes of the Amazon, as well as to high quality fish imported from Japan. Wait staff very informative and efficient!

    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!
