    I had been there before for lunch, and decided to have a birthday celebration for 12 people. They had our table ready, and two servers to take care of our party. The food was outstanding, and so were the drinks. But definitely the best part was service, led by Jordi Granados. He was not only personable, truly on top of his game and extremely knowledgeable about the menu.

    My dining experience at Amana was truly exceptional! I had the Chef Table experience where you get a 5 course dinner with optional wine pairing. All items received are not available in the menu so every plate was a surprise with a perfect combination of flavors and textures. This goes in hand with the culinary concept of Amana which combines local ingredients with techniques from around the world giving each plate a unique flavor. The service is exceptional in addition to allowing interactions with the chef. I will definitely be going back to try their menu items!
