   I booked my reservation at 7:15 but wasn't seated until closer to 7:30. The restaurant was LOUD and with indoor space being on the smaller side, the noise was amplified. We sat across a big group that wasn't mindful of the other diners. Once we sat down, it took over 10 minutes for the waiter to come and check up on us. Our drink order took long and overall, the food was okay at best. I was in town for a conference, so I am disappointed I spent my time at such a mediocre place.

   Food was delivered cold and the chicken was delivered with gravy after we asked for it on the side. Everyone was nice, but it wasn’t worth the price.

   Muhammad was an outstanding server. The hostess seating us was very gracious and energetic. Menu is a bit limited to my liking. The chicken fried steak was done well but sauce was too heavy. Meatloaf was also good. Cesar salad had too much dressing and it was too thick. Please lighten it up. Sitting outside was a lovely experience along the river with soft lighting and beautiful patio.

   The scenery overlooking the Riverwalk was very beautiful, and offered a lovely ambiance. Service was fair, with the main feedback centered on timeliness and a few strange interactions (we had a weird encounter that when we left our dirty utensils on the plate to be removed, our waitress took our plates, took a few steps, and came back and asked us to retain them, which me and my wife found odd since they were dirty from our appetizer. The server did give us a new set however after we requested a pair when our entrees arrived. Food was fair overall, the chilaquiles felt a bit heavy on lime, and the pancakes were a bit undercooked and grainy, however the avocado toast was very tasty.

   I was expecting more. The menu was smaller than I anticipated.

   Food and drinks were amazing. Huge portions. Our server was fantastic as well and did everything in his power to make our dinner enjoyable. It was a colder evening and the servers that were attending to the patrons in the outdoor section kept leaving the door open to the indoor seating area which made it extremely uncomfortable. I was cold most of the time. Outside of this, it was a great dinner.

   This was my fourth time at Ambler. The food is always great, but the service varies every night and depending on the waiter. This one was the worst! The manager wasn’t available either. Kudos tor the food and drinks, but the waiter and the time waiting for drinks, appetizers and main course are unacceptable.

    Nothing special. Not worth the price. $60 steak overcooked. Chairs dirty.
