   Overall this was a really nice experience. Alex the bartender/mixologist was super awesome as well as Noel & Nadine. This group is an obvious asset to this establishment. The service exceeded all expectations. … Truly above and beyond That being said it was a new experience for us and we found the menu slightly confusing. We ate from the preset menu as to get samples of the fare. Due to personal tastes some of the food didn’t get eaten and I felt bad wasting it, but it was no reflection of the quality or preparation. However, we will definitely return and order more appropriately. It was a bit louder than I was expecting as I had intentions of a quiet romantic dinner out. It still was romantic, but it was definitely on the livelier side. It was even a topic of conversation throughout the weekend that followed on what a nice time that was had. Definitely would be fun to go with larger groups as well.

   As usual, another wonderful dinner at Amor Wine & Tapas! Went there with some neighbors from Gig Harbor and the service and food did not disappoint! This time we had the $44 tapas menu (a small bite of all the tapas) and an entree of Clams & Chorizo…wonderful! We were too full for dessert but really enjoyed the wine that was suggested by the owner…thank you! I can highly recommend Amor…I’ve been there multiple times and have never had anything but the best service and food. Oh…the music is great too…we were fortunate to have a Flamenco guitarist and he was great…perfect for the Spanish themed Amor!

   What a fun night out!! I’m still smiling. Loved the flamenco guitarist, Sebastian, as well as the flamenco dancers. Food was yummy, service was great in spite of the packed house. I can’t wait to return for the next show!

   It is a great place and I loved the guitarist who performs there the first Saturday of each month. Sebastian Quintero is amazing. The bar service, quality of the wine selection, and the menu is also excellent.

   Our server was Noel , she was kind, tentative and accommodating. Our cocktails were very good and we had several wines which were very enjoyable. The wine and drink menu was extensive. The limited menu was enjoyable but as a person I would have appreciated a few other options. Greens to me on any menu are necessary option which wasn’t available. Most enjoyable was the environment and ability to have a conversation in a relaxed, quiet atmosphere.

   Wine was great, our server Nadine was fantastic, food was awful. What menu items they weren’t out of were way too tiny for the prices, and a couple of our dishes were overcooked. They discounted our ticket, but I think they need to go back to the drawing board on their menu and food inventory management practices. Also, it was a nice night but their patio wasn’t being used. It looked like they were using it for storage…such a shame, would really like this kind of place to get it right and make it in Tacoma!

    Excellent food, poor service. Despite having reservations and arriving on time, the host seemed confused about where to seat us. Upon being seated directly under the kitchen's service window, the waiter attempted to pour water from an empty pitcher. Upon returning with a full pitcher, he spilled water on the table and the floor and proceeded to wipe the floor THEN the table. He then gave us one menu to share, which was missing the food page. This wasn't just the wine list - there was an empty spot were the tapas menu belonged. So, we ordered two flights of wine and asked for the tapas menu. Being billed as a wine bar, we were surprised that the staff weren't able to identify two of the six wines in our flights. We order the flights directly from the wine list, so our confidence in the experience was dwindling. The menu on their website showed a variety of tapas, and we were eager to try a few things in particular. However, we were disappointed to learn that the ONLY food option was a $74 per person prix fixe. Rather than leave, we elected to see where the meal took us. Again, despite ordering directly from the menu, the courses were misidentified several times. To be fair, each course of tapas was excellent - well seasoned, perfect temperatures, beautiful presentations. Half way through the meal, the three-piece band (electric keyboard, electric guitar, bongos, and a TROMBONE) started setting up five feet from our table, including two giant speakers. The entire room was about only about 15' x 30' so the 30 minutes of schlepping equipment and mic checks was hard to ignore. So, we paid our $280 bill, let the kitchen (who was three inches away) know the food was really great, and left.
