                Food is excellent. Service is good to some but barely satisfactory to others. The venue is clean , tidy and spacious. Overall, 4-star out of five.

                My first time @ Ambassador but was disappointed that they have no bar service- no alcohol! Most students will need RSA so they should be trained on how to serve alcohol! The presentation was spectacular but some of the dishes were a little bland trout was bland and some had too many conflicting flavours! Meat dish! The gravy was not nice at all!!

                Overall, this meal was quite good. However, if we're being strict, compared to the previous three-course meals, this degustation menu's flavors were a bit lacking. By saying that, all dishes were beautifully presented

                It was a very enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and very good service. The only suggestion is to provide clear instructions for parking and also information on how and when to book for a buffet going forward.
