Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Carlos Delgado

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

    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.

    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!
