We hadn’t been to Ama since before COVID during which I believe they closed. So glad they’re back and haven’t missed a beat. Food is excellent and so different and flavorful compared to mainstream Mexican restaurants. Service was great. We’ll be back.

We ate here to celebrate a birthday. From the time we walked in we received excellent service. The host, wait staff and bartender were very friendly and attentive. The food looked amazing and tasted even better, very flavorful and delicious! Ordered dessert and my flan came wraith a candle and the waitstaff sang happy birthday which was a nice surprise. We will definitely eat here frequently!
