AMBAR Restaurant, Clarendon

I celebrated my birthday at Ambar with a group of 15 people, and everything was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and beautifully designed. I brought my own table decorations, and they blended seamlessly with the restaurant’s aesthetic — it looked stunning. The manager was attentive the entire time, consistently checking on us and making sure everything ran smoothly. The staff handled our large group effortlessly. The food was delicious, the small plates are perfect for sharing, and the birthday dessert with “Happy Birthday” written on the plate was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend for celebrations and special occasions. I’ll definitely be back 🤍✨

The food there was absolutely amazing! Guys, you absolutely must try it out. I was celebrating my birthday, and they brought me a very sweet and delicious donut with Nutella and strawberry(delicious). It was $55 per person, and that included one drink that unfortunately I didn’t like. However, the raspberry cake was incredibly good (you have to try it, guys!). I loved it. The food was sweet, and the atmosphere was great, like it was in a book or a movie. It was rush hour at 6:30, so we had to wait a little longer for our server than we would have liked, but that’s just to let you know that it’s best to come earlier or later. Definitely worth it!

What a great time! Ana is such a great server! She was attentive and offered us menu options which were all delicious. Highly recommend their unlimited lunch. We will be back from Brunch and dinner as well.

Overall, we had a great first time experience at Ambar. We've talked about going forever and really happy we finally did. For 42.99 it's an all you can eat tapas style which works out well for larger parties. Most of these places are iffy when it comes to service as they tell you you only have 2hrs but then take forever to come back and even ask if you want more. Here though, someone was always asking us if we wanted more (we even had the manager telling us an empty table wasn't acceptable to him as we were breathing between dishes lol). Plates were cleared just as fast as they were delivered. We ordered quite a few dishes and There were only a few complaints in regards to the food: - Salmon Benedict was cold and it was pretty clear the poached eggs were bulk made and stored making it not

Reserved high top for Christmas eve last minute. Upon arrival, I asked host for cancellations for regular dining and they offered to see if the current time rez would make it on time. But my guests opted to just take our high top seating immediately instead of waiting. Most of the food was spectacular as usual. Not sure I would pay for the Christmas menu next time, the hanger steak, part of special menu, was tough. Branzino alone might make it worth it though. Mussels were PERFECTLY cooked, not tough or rubbery at all. Almost felt like little clouds in my mouth. Natasha offered phenomenal and attentive service. She made sure all our questions were fully addressed and didnt rush us AT ALL. She made appropriate suggestions and was super pleasant with any repeated requests. The kitchen and r
