    We had a fantastic experience at Amber Road! The Valentine’s prefix menu was absolutely wonderful, with delicious dishes that were thoughtfully prepared. Our server was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made our evening even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself is beautiful, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for a special night out. The only drawback was the large screens playing sports, which felt out of place and took away from the otherwise sophisticated aesthetic. It would have been nice to fully immerse in the ambiance without that distraction. Overall, a great dining experience, and we’d definitely return!

    The three course Valentine’s Day dinner was excellent! Pretty much everything we had was above average, compared to restaurants at a similar price range. The oysters and shrimp cocktail was a strong start. The Chateaubriand steak was particularly phenomenal, and the sides we chose (spicy broccoli and sautéed mushrooms) exceeded expectations. The profiteroles for dessert rounded it out quite nicely! We will be coming back here.
