This was our first time dining at Ambar and we thought it was amazing. Everything was perfect from the food, to the speed and attention to detail with the service to the overall restaurant experience. My father in law is very stubborn and does not like anything "different" and I was beyond excited to see how much he loved this restaurant! My 8yo also loved getting to take a bite and dry all of the different dishes. So happy to have experienced this restaurant.

We enjoyed our birthday celebration at Pinstripes, but I have one suggestion. The "truffle fries" were very disappointing - not tasty or hot. They were thinner than shoestring size and not at all appetizing. I recommend you rethink that offering. Everything else was very enjoyable.
