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...

Absolutely exquisite. Food, drinks, dessert, atmosphere, and service all incredible. Our server Paola was amazing - thank you for a memorable experience! Will certainly be back and be recommending to many.

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.
