    The experience was great. The only negative comment is the $2 “operation fee” that was included on the bill. I would highly recommend getting their bacon flight. Would certainly return.

    Absolutely great night on valentines which is a crazy night to go out. Did not disappoint . Smokey Old fashion and blueberry margaritas cocktails were so tasting. Crab cake starter was the best I have ever had. And steaks finished perfectly. And we are picky with warm medium center and juicy. lol. And Our server Shawn was so delightful and funny.

    We experienced a Valentine's Day dinner at AMBLI DTC. In short, amazing! Doug, the manager, was our server and I can't imagine how he could've made our visit better. From his knowledge of the drink/wine paring to the pace at which our courses were served, he was amazing. The others involved with bringing the food, keeping drinks/water full, crumbing the table, and resetting between courses were also fantastic. We always enjoy being greeted by Jimmy when we enter and appreciate him stopping by our table to inquire our experience. Chef's food preparation, presentation, and sequencing was very well thought out. The dishes certainly complimented each other and attention to detail was obvious. Experiencing the food, as Chef intended, was a delight to the palette. We've been to this restaurant a number of times and it's always a spectacular culinary and service experience. Every visit is a reminder to what the culinary world should be and, personally, revives my respect and appreciation the experience the front and back of house do to create a more than memorable experience for the patron. Can't wait to return!

    The food was delicious and our waiter name I believe was Roy he was outstanding real attentive making sure we wasn’t missing anything. The only complaint I would have is when ordering I ask for some Don Perrion champagne thinking it was gonna be a glass like the menu says but instead I got a $389 bottle that I didn’t order and found out till the end, so just heads up
