This restaurant definitely lives up to hype!! The food, atmospher and service were stellar!! If I had to give a downside, the pricing could be a bit more transparent and jalapenos are a in quite a few menu items If you don't like heat, your choices will be limited. However, the jalapeno dishes are not brutally spicy. I'm not a spice girl (pun intended) but heat was tolerable. These are minor downsides. This place is a must visit!! Kudos!

My family gave me kudos for picking Amazonia. The experience and food were overall great. However, I feel the skewers, especially the asparagus and salmon belly were underwhelming. The rest of the food was phenomenal.
