Ambrosia

We went here before seeing Taylor Tomlinson's 930 pm show at Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler. We had plenty of time to enjoy dinner so we started with drinks and appetizers. The calamari was as expected, your typical calamari perfectly fried, crispy and tender. The steak and mushroom bruchetta was different and delicious. My husband got the shrimp linguine and I got the halibut. Both were perfectly cooked. And a very generous piece of halibut. My pesto risotto was a little under seasoned, but I would rather it under than over. I would like to see parmesan freshly grated at the table, but our server carried a bowl with a spoon to sprinkle parmesan over our plates. And my husband and I declined as you don't usually put parm over seafood. But after tasting my risotto, I asked for some parm on

The scallops were the most delicious I've ever had! Spinach too! My date had the swordfish which kinda surprised me since she said that's typically a tough meat. She said the way the chefs made it, it was tender and delicious! The only thing I did not like (nor) understand was, WHY did they seat us back in the little room next to a (loud) party of nine WHEN the main dining room was nearly empty!?? We had to nearly yell at each other just to have a conversation. Definitely will be going back but if on date night (I don't care if I have to wait an extra week to make a reservation) I am not going to be seated in that little room.

The gnocchi was mush with no fresh mozzarella on top, the pasta was mush not even al dente and the shrimp did not seem fresh. Mussels were fine. This is supposed to be an Italian restaurant but it was hard for me to believe if anything seemed made fresh, in my opinion the price for it just doesn’t seem correct for the quality and size.

We have enjoyed Ambrosia for decades and tonight was no exception. We think there is no better server in the world than Dave. Their food and his hospitality keep us coming back every few weeks. We love you Ambrosia and especially Dave!

Went here for a fancy date night and the venue did not disappoint. The food was delicious (we got a pesto flatbread appetizer, the Chicken Parmesan and the Salmon for the main course, and shared an affogato for dessert). Everything was amazing and the portion sizes were generous. The staff was extremely friendly, we had McKenna and she was a rockstar, even offering to take a photo of us with some of the Christmas decor they had up. Inside felt cozy and comfortable. The only note I have on the atmosphere is the lighting dimmed partway through the evening and there was one jarring music transition which changed the mood and volume quite a bit. Otherwise the volume was great for conversation.
