Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Tropical vibes reign supreme at award-winning Causa’s colorful sibling restaurant and lounge. Dig into a Peruvian menu of anticuchos (grilled meat skewers), elegant seafood-forward dishes, and top-notch cocktails in the energetic, plant-strewn dining room or on the shady rooftop patio.

Our waiter DaVinci was great and explained all of meals and drinks in detail. The food was sooooo good. It was pricey but nice for sharable and a date night with friends. Everything was special!

Food is very good except the bitter quinoa in Pulpo al Josper and desserts that took half an hour to be served.

Overall it’s clear that the quality of the food is excellent and extremely well prepared. Everything we ordered tasted delicious. However, when we arrived we didn’t realize that they had extended their restaurant week and the server seemed thrown off that we didn’t want to order off of that menu (we were there a full 2 weeks post- restaurant week). I’m not sure if that’s the reason that our food took so long to come out but it did take a while for each dish. Picture a very small 3 bite dish (for 4 people) comes out and then you wait another 20 minutes for the next one, it was odd. Also our server was pretty absent during the meal and when he did come around, he always seemed to be trying to upsell us something (a couple hundred dollars for fish, an expensive bottle of champagne, etc.). Like I said, the food was very good but for how expensive it is, the experience did not measure up.
