   Second time we come to this restaurant, both the service (by Rosa and team) and the food were outstanding and creative.

   The food and atmosphere was great. The highlight was definitely our server Nemo. He did an amazing job at facilitating an amazing experience.

   Great experience. Some dishes better than others. The vegetables, bread, sausage and meat pies were outstanding. We all over indulged.

   I took my family there to celebrate my daughter & son-in-law's 26-year anniversary. The food and service were fantastic. We loved trying all the different food choices and loved every one of them. My vegetarian granddaughter especially loved the variety of vegetarian choices. We will definitely go there again.

   Wonderful evening. Many small plates, each one better than the last. Finished with the Baklava and a scoop of vanilla ice cream...fantastic. highly recommend! My wife is Bulgarian and they had Bulgarian wine! When you go look for Nemanja. A great guy who was great at his job and, very friendly, made great recommendations. Thank you Nemanja!

   We’ve been for brunch a few times and expected dinner to be better. The brussels sprouts were sent charred and when I asked the waitress if this is normal, she said no. Some of the plates were cold and some were just not delivered. I know we went on Valentine’s Day and it is busier than normal, but for the price we expected higher quality of food.

   We made a last minute reservation at Ambar to reunite with some friends returning to DC after a year, and had a great time. We had to take a bar reservation on the 2nd floor, but it turned out to be a great experience. We ordered the Restaurant Week special of unlimited small plates for $55/person, and most dishes were very good, with some misses, but overall excellent. Service was friendly and quick, and the ambiance was fantastic.

    Great date spot. Went for the winter restaurant week promo. My girlfriend and I both got the unlimited drink and meal deal. Great variety of dishes and the value great. Worth going back in the future.
