    We were running a bit late due to a storm that had passed through in our area. We called and said we were running late. The staff was quick to tell us no problem to drive safely. We were seated promptly even still after arriving 15 mins late . Service and food was top notch. Enjoyed everything. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Fork staff and chefs for allowing me a great Valentines dinner with my wife.

    Amada Philly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Now, the food—absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The jamón ibérico, gambas al ajillo, and pulpo a la gallega were standouts, but honestly, everything we tried was exceptional. The paella was rich, aromatic, and perfectly cooked, and the selection of Spanish wines complemented the meal flawlessly. Whether you’re looking for an intimate date night, a celebratory dinner, or just an unforgettable dining experience, Amada Philly is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back soon!

    Visited in afternoon of the Super Bowl parade. The place was packed but the wait staff, kitchen and bar tenders did a great job. As always, food was fresh, hot and delicious. Red Owl never disappoints
