Venture into the relaxed ambiance of Amazonia, our inviting upstairs bar, dining room and rooftop hideaway.

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.

    Delicious and original. The chef’s access to fish from the Tokyo fish market, and the inventive options for the fish preparation, makes for an outstanding dining experience in a casual and fun setting.

    Delicious small portions extremely over priced. The waiter pushed their whole fish choices without explaining one from the other, in spite of the fact that they ranged in price from $140 to $400. There should be some explanation or passion why one is better or at least different than the other. All he could tell me is that they were all mild white fish. I ordered the $140 one and it was delicious but I don’t know why it was $140. I think they are full of themselves. The scallops appetizer was delicious as well as the salmon. I have been to many Michelin starred restaurants and appreciate the high prices that go with the effort, but this one felt like a rip off and worse, I left hungry. All delicious though.
