Why they're an Icon

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday, and the entire experience was flawless - Fernando was our server and explained the menu in extensive detail. The ambience was cozy, and the service was impressive. All the dishes came out quickly and were so tasty. Fernando gave us free drinks and dessert. Overall a very positive experience and would recommend Amazonia to anyone looking to expand their palette!

We loved our dinner! The four of us shared seven dishes and every one was a winner. Our server was terrific in his explanation of the food and his attentiveness--just right but not too much. Go!

We are Peruvian and brought my "gringo" partner for our special birthday dinner. Everything was top notch. We have tried almost all Peruvian DMV special offerings. This was SO wonderful. Greeting at front door, server Claudia (excellent genuine and knowledgeable), back servers (smiles and never a dry water glass), bar tender with specialty cocktails. Pisco is the most extensive menu in the area. Trust me we know. Food is delicious and plentiful. Generous portions and top quality fish and meat. Cooked perfectly. Definitely will go back. We shared some appetizers (anticuchos, ceviche, scallops on parmesan shells). Main entrees were outstanding (lomo saltado with Wagyu beef, octopus, pasta with crab). Alley is narrow be cautious but there are 2 public parking lots to use with QRC. Looking forward to our return.

I made a reservation for my parents on a whim while they are in DC on business and all I heard about the rest of the night was how amazing their evening was from food to drink to ambience to service. Truly outstanding.
