    Four stars all around. Best part was to have a dinner with friends without having to shout at each other over the typically waaaay too loud music. Relaxing!

    Amata is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The food is wonderful, the service is great, and the atmosphere is civilized without being stodgy. We dine there fairly regularly and it never disappoints. The martini alone merits a five star review.
