    We have visited Ambar for years and this was our first Thanksgiving dinner with them. The staff was so welcoming and attentive and the food was tremendously delicious. First time we've been seated in the lower level, which was beautifully decorated and so cozy. Ambar never fails to delight and this experience reinforced for us what a very special place and team Ambar provides.

    A wonderful variety available from the unlimited small plate menu. Cauliflower and the beet salad were delicious. In fact, every dish we had we ordered seconds of. Service was warm, friendly, and fast. The space can be a bit noisy but we will be back often!
