Instead of booking a flight somewhere warm, I decided to treat myself to happy hour. Was left super satisfied! Mojito was absolutely refreshing & im tipsy off of just one hahaha. I had 3 dishes, all deliciously fresh & flavorful. Crispy shrimp was a knockout, papas bravados was oh so savory, and piononos was unique & complex. I’m so full - total was $38 + a 20% service charge bringing it to $49 with tax. Not bad at all for 3 dishes and a drink. Will bring a friend next time !

If you are in Chicago Amaru should definitely be a stop! To start our waitress was phenomenal joking with us and making the perfect cocktails. The food was delicious easily designed for sharing and covering multiple dietary restrictions. The restaurant was cozy but lively and good for small groups.

Delicious experience. Came during Valentine’s day and all the drinks and dishes blew me away.
So much that my wife and I can’t agree on our favorite. Will definitely come back

Cool energy with incredible service. Ixchel (unconfirmed spelling) is maybe the single best server I've met in the city, she was incredibly personable and sweet without being overbearing at all. It was incredibly busy for restaurant week, which dampened the vibes a bit - they also ran out of steak, the prime dinner option. All of the food we received was tasty. Despite it being incredibly modern (not something I enjoy in a restaurant), the flavors were excellent and deep.
Service was impeccable! Bartender Krys was fantastic! Food was on point!!

Amazing food, service, and environment. Food is full of flavors and beautifully plated. Loved the Octopus and Sope De Campo. Krys, who was behind the bar, provided attentive service and friendly conversation. Look forward to coming here again to try their regular menu options outside of the courses offered for Restaurant Week.

Food was amazing, service was excellent. The Tuna Ceviche was full of flavors . All had a freshly made taste.
Been here twice recently and both times the food has been phenomenal and the staff is the kindest in the city. They entertain and chat with our 1 year old the entire time and brought him a plate of apple slices! Incredible food and incredible people.

Spent a wonderful evening with a group of friends sharing great food and drinks. Great variety on the menu that was perfect for sharing. Our server staged our order, and each “course” came out quickly. Thanks!

The place is very nice. The empanadas and the mole dish are delicious, I didn't love the octopus with beans, but it was okay. The cocktails are good.
