What Customers Are Saying

Ambar has been a favorite for a long time. Recently, we held our rehearsal dinner at the Capitol Hill location and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were very kind and responsive to our party. They took the extra time to make our celebration special and memorable. And -- as always -- the food and drinks were exceptional. Thank you Ambar team for making the start of our wedding weekend so wonderful.

Outstanding food. Tapas style. Get the all you can eat for $27 and tell the server to just bring you food. Very yummy!
-----------------------------------
Lunch ayce is probably the best deal especially if you like Mediterranean food and flavors. We tried quite a few different dishes and my favorite was lamb medallions and beet salad. I personally like tapas style and this was a great experience, server Elvin (I hope I spelled it right) was very friendly!
