    We enjoyed everything about our first visit to this neighborhood gem. Welcoming, inviting, cozy space with gentle lighting and Oaxacan decor. Tables well spaced. Excellent beverages featuring Oaxacan mezcals, tequilas, prickly pear, etc. We split a starter of wild mushrooms cooked in a plantain leaf with a tart green side sauce. Outstanding entrees: succulent roast rabbit in golden mole (made with roasted yellow cherry tomatoes) and crispy-tender marinated grilled quail with roast cactus and plum sauce. All revelatory and satisfying.

    Amaru put together a restaurant week menu that was the culinary equivalent of a highlight reel. A bold and well-composed departure from the excellent regular menu, the $60, 3- course tasting menu exemplified the restaurant’s pan-Latin influence. As a four-person party we were able to taste every item from each of the three courses and every plate was a standout. All of the portions were nearly entre-sized and there was an exuberance in the flavors and textures that showcased the kitchen’s mastery. There wasn’t a single dish that I wouldn’t be delighted to see on the regular menu. As always the service was warm and attentive. Bravo.
