Ambar Capitol Hill. Everything was fantastic, had a great experience from the booking to the food and drinks to the service. Really appreciate it!
I had a group dinner at Ambar Shaw and it was a lovely experience! Food, drinks, service were great and the curated chef's menu took the stress out of ordering for so many people. Thank you!!!

FAQs
What is the difference between private and semi-private space?
Private space is fully dedicated to your group, with no other patrons present. You can arrange the furniture as you wish, fully decorate the space, enjoy your own music, and utilize our AV equipment. Semi-private space is partially divided from the rest of the dining area and can be rearranged to some extent, but with limitations on decorations, AV usage, personal music, and loud speeches due to the presence of other guests.
Is your rooftop heated in cold weather?
Our retractable rooftop is operational throughout the year, with the option to be opened or closed as needed. The space is heated or cooled according to the weather requirements.
When can I come to see the space?
You're welcome to visit us during operational hours for a walkthrough by one of our managers. For a more comprehensive view, check our event page for a 360 virtual tour or walkthrough video. It's best to notify your event coordinator of your visit in advance.
How much does it cost to rent a space?
We operate on a food and beverage minimum spend basis, so there's no separate room or rental fee. Please submit an inquiry through our event page, and one of our event coordinators will provide you with a written quote and menu options within 24 hours.
Is it possible to bring in our own food and alcohol? Will a certificate of insurance or license be required?
Outside food and beverages are not permitted, as we are a fully operational restaurant. However, you can bring your wine, subject to a $25 corkage fee, and desserts for an additional $3.5 per person.
