    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.

    The food is good, but not great. As with many restaurants in DC, prices have gotten out of hand. Lots of small portions, but great flavors. It is a unique offering for DC, but not one I’ll go back to. One and done for us.
    AmazoniaResponded on 3 December 2024
    Hello Dean, thank you for your feedback. we appreciate your coming out and giving us a try and sorry we didn't quite hit the mark in what you had hoped for. Our menu does offer a variety of smaller social bites as well as larger plates, and not to leave out our Japanese fish market thats brought in 5 days a week. Much of what we offer uses several imported products and understand that some prices will reflect that choice for quality and authenticity. We'd love to have you back and give you a tour if you like to see what really goes into making amazing Peruvian cuisine in DC. I'll send you our email privately.

    I went early on a Saturday evening and sat at the bar. The bartender was not friendly and kept trying to take my drink away when I was still drinking it. Perhaps sitting at a table the service would be better but I was not impressed given the cost of the drinks.
