    We have visited Ambar for years and this was our first Thanksgiving dinner with them. The staff was so welcoming and attentive and the food was tremendously delicious. First time we've been seated in the lower level, which was beautifully decorated and so cozy. Ambar never fails to delight and this experience reinforced for us what a very special place and team Ambar provides.

    The food here is absolutely amazing. We had to wait a while to be seated, but we were served a appetizer that was on the house. The service that we were given here was also amazing. They checked in on us until we got the table, and they were very kind. It wasn’t too loud, it was like any regular noise level in a restaurant. Overall, it was amazing there. 100% recommend.
