    The taste everything option for a fixed price is the only way to go. We enjoyed everything we ate (and drank). The mood was energetic and lively - a desired option for many on a Tuesday night. This was my second trip to this Ambar location. (Capitol Hill is also great). This won’t be my last trip, but one of many.

    It is truly an amazing experience. We had a fabulous evening. Thank you. The only feedback that feels necessary to share just because everything else was so spectacular is the desserts were not worthy of the rest of the experience. It was beyond disappointing when the meal was as good as it was. To end on stale tasting dry boring cookies was not how I thought it would go. I hope that gets different as I would very much like to go again but dessert is also super important. Thanks for letting me share.
