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!

Intimate and inviting, Amaru's Latin cuisine was flavorful and an incredible taste journey. The piononos were bacon wrapped bursts of ecstasy , the softer textures crisped by the pork. Crawfish empanadas were beautifully presented and tasted even better than they looked. The service with Paula was great - energetic but respectful of the conversation my friends and I were enjoying. The drinks were delicious - not too powerful but not watered down. 5 stars! this quaint spot!
