    One of the finest meals I have had in a long time. The dishes were creative yet elegant, thoughtful, and executed skillfully - the fresh ingredients of Chef Ford's garden were powerful and instrumental in the success of each of the dishes in which they were featured.

    Great experience overall but the food and the service were the standouts. A little on the pricier side but other than that, really enjoyed our dinner experience. Will definitely be back.

    This was my first time trying out this restaurant. We wanted to eat a nice restaurant before the show, and were planning to eat somewhere near Brickell. I’m so glad we ate here instead. The service was amazing and the food was great. It was also nice not to have to worry about driving to a different location since the restaurant is connected to the theater. I encourage anyone who is skeptical to try it out. You won’t be disappointed.

    It is always a pleasure to be at Amara, the Boardwalk tables are great, beautiful views and ambiance. Service at the bar and dining was excelent. One detail we did not enjoy was that nobody told us the happy hour drinks were only at the bar so when they moved us out to the table we were not able to enjoy our second drink. Now we know!! I still recomend it greatly.
