   this is a great place to try something entirely different. Go with the all you can eat. We had a team dinner and everyone that it was super fun and food was great too! Highly Recommend!

   Food & service at Ambar is always great. But the noise level is not conducive for conversation

   We had a 10-person birthday brunch. It’s the perfect venue for that as they keep bringing out small plate favorites for us all to try. I think we tasted 90 percent of the menu! They said at the end of the tasting we could order more of anything we wanted, but we were so full. The food is incredible and the ambiance is fantastic.. the cherry blossom seasonal decor was so pretty. It’s a lively party atmosphere and perfect for a brunch. The brunch special price drinks were fantastic. It’s great for big groups because it’s one price per person. We loved it!

   Very loud. Food was tasty and love the .99 mimosas for lunch. Service can be very off and on. Can take a long time to get food or someone to refill water. We asked for the check and waited over 15 before we had to get up and ask for help.

   Fabulous food, generous portions, lovely service from Theo and Marco, and beautiful cherry blossom decorations. It was a terrific place to have a quiet lunchtime conversation.

   We waited about 10 mins last our reservation time to be seated, however we were seated downstairs and it was incredibly dark and not enjoyable at all. Our waiter checked on us often but when we put in our orders for the unlimited brunch the items never came out, our waiter seemed too busy to do anything else other than ask us if we wanted more food that we never received. When a couple orders arrived we had been waiting 30 mins after being seated. I had 3 dishes overall so did my partner and we ended up asking for the check after less than an hour of being there. The manger on duty came to our table and viewed a tablet indicating what was delivered to our table, she completely gaslit us and refused to believe we hardly had any orders come out to our table. comped our drinks a total of $2.98, such a slap in the face. Very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience.

   This place felt like a challenge - eat everything you can eat in two hours to make the flat fee worth it! Between that and the incredibly high noise level that made us have to yell to each other to be heard, it wasn’t a particularly enjoyable experience. We didn’t enjoy the food much, either … we had heard great things but it didn’t live up to expectations.

   Most of the dishes were delicious. It was a busy Friday night when we visited, so service was slow and it was very noisy. Food came relatively quickly.
