Customer Reviews
Next level Mexican fare in a fresh, funky, Pueblo-inspired environment. The flavors are complex and delectable, and served by an extremely well trained staff. Well worth the wait for a table, so definitely make a resy. We had the tuna tostada, and tried the salsa and homemade chip sampler, which they leave on the table for you to experiment with adding flavors to your entree. Ours was the chicken adobo…a brine-infused tender pile of perfectly slow cooked beautifulness. There are seven different salsas inspired by different regions in Mexico. My fave was the cashew salsa-yes, cashew. It was mind blowingly delicious! The bar is also fully stocked with regional Mexican libations and a full menu of Agave spirits. Wow. Also a lounge area to grab a drink while you wait for your table. Go. You wo
First time here this weekend and had such a wonderful experience! Vibes inside are airy and contemporary. Our server Ben was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick great options - he also guided me on a great mezcal selection for my cocktail. The tuna tostada was super fresh, the swordfish tacos were tasty (one of the salsas was quite spicy! but balanced with the labneh) and the star of the show was the steak which was cooked perfectly. The oysters were also such a nice surprise! We would absolutely come back - it was busy, but items were coursed out well and we never felt rushed. If anyone is looking for an elevated Mexican dining experience in the city, you won’t be disappointed!
We had an amazing experience here! Let’s unpack why: - the service is very friendly. They checked on us just the right amount and gave us a little treat for our friend’s birthday. - the food is delicious. We very much enjoyed the lamb birria and this lobster soup they had a special. The tostadas and chips were also very good. Dessert was a highlight (churros and tres leches) - the ambience is very nice. Spacious, high ceilings, nicely lit, but not overly formal at the same time. We would go back again for certain!
AMA is a chill low light atmosphere. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu giving us very detailed descriptions of the players even down to the portion size. The food was very flavorful and table sharing friendly. In the pic is their chips and salsa and Cesar salad. Catch an uber because parking is NON-EXISTENT!!! Outside of that it’s cool. Our bill was about $200 with 4 people eating.
From start to finish, Ama fully impressed and has made it to my top favorite restaurant list in the city. The ambiance is beautiful. Modern sleek meets warm adobe vibes. The staff? Incredible. Super knowledgeable on every single dish. Enthusiastic and service? 11 out of 10. Honestly some of the best table service I've ever had in my life. Now onto the menu... which is listed from smallest portions to largest portions and it's recommended (for 2) you grab an entree plus 2-3 small dishes. We decided on three small plates and the chicken for our entree: 1. Aguadechile del dia: This was a scallop dish that came with a habanero vanilla bean aguadechile that was poured overtop tableside, alongside shavings of rainbow carrots, sliced Persian cucumbers, and toasted peanuts for crunch. It came
