    Todo estuvo muy agusto, solo algunos platillos de la comida no fueron del total agrado. El postre de Guava le falta sabor, el mesero César el comentamos y nos lo cambió el otro estuvo mejor. La música muy agusto a un nivel de ruido correcto.

    Food was outstanding! Service too! Mushrooms, fries, steak, lollipops and oysters are a must!

    Was in town to see my parents. Made reservations at Ambra after reading great reviews, however we were quite disappointed with our experience and won't return. I read reviews about how amazing the service was and was excited to take my parents here. Our server didn't speak English nor could he understand us. We pointed to what we wanted on the menu, but he still didn't understand. He kept having to call someone over so they could explain what we wanted. Our food was good and our drinks were delicious. However,our server kept taking away our plates before we were finished ( like while we were obviously still eating). He started to take my mixed drink away before I was done and I had to basically yell at him to give me my drink back. The servers were all standing near our table and they kept hovering over is. We felt rushed and uncomfortable. We did briefly experience great service from another server that took over, but the damage was already done. Ambra should never have let our server be on his own to wait on customers. Very disappointing considering how expensive this place is. It was also mostly empty on a Saturday night. We then drove around to the next parking lot and found a huge restaurant and sports bar with a happening vibe and wished we would have eaten there instead.
