    This was our first time dining at Ambar and we thought it was amazing. Everything was perfect from the food, to the speed and attention to detail with the service to the overall restaurant experience. My father in law is very stubborn and does not like anything "different" and I was beyond excited to see how much he loved this restaurant! My 8yo also loved getting to take a bite and dry all of the different dishes. So happy to have experienced this restaurant.

    The food was delicious, although much of the food that was supposed to be hot came out luke warm or room temp. That’s the only reason I gave the food 4 stars. I’d go back for sure!
