    I my choices on the cibechi wasn't it. They were both cold food and I am more of a hot meal type. Otherwise great potential and great service.

    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.

    First time trying Amazonia. I really enjoy Peruvian food and this place didn't disappoint. the skewers, the small plates, and even the entrees were all good in their own way. With that said, they were good, nothing really wowed me. The skewers were good, especially the fish and the filet mignon. However, I wasn't a fan of the seasoning on the fish and the beef was too tough for medium well/rare (we tried both). The entree, Lomo Saltado was better. Loved the blend of the flavors with the fresh veggies. However, for wagyu, it didn't seem like wagyu, quality. With all that said, the chocolate cake dessert did wow me. And it was amazing with the ice cream that it was coupled with. The drink selection was unique, I stuck to tequila and mezcal, which was light and refreshing. The service was really good, we had 2 servers taking care of us. They provided recommendations, their favorites, and accommodations, and were genuinely nice (which is a big problem in the city, servers can be jerks). I couldn't get the vibe of the place. It was definitely amazon jungle focused. But I couldn't tell if it was more trend cocktail or if it was more of a full meal place. It depended on where you were seated I guess. With that the noise level was medium, but the bad bunny tunes were worth it.

    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!
