Great place to take your family and friends. I would like to get a seat at this restaurant you shaped and specially popular towards the front. The only part that I thought was a little strange was they asked us if we were celebrating anything when they confirmed our reservation as we told them it was our 10 year wedding anniversary and received no acknowledgment from anyone of the staff members during our entire stay at the restaurant. What was the point of asking us if we were celebrating something ?
Been there twice; once for anniversary and once for my bf’s bday; it’s his fave restaurant and I think it’s high quality but each time I have thought the food was pretty salty. He LOVES the bacon wrapped dates, I think it’s his all time fave food
Amada had enough non-brunch items for salad-loving me; but I ordered a bonifide brunch dish and I was glad I did. A melange of potatoes, avocado, vegetables, lovely sauce, greens, and 2 fried eggs. I wanted the eggs runny and they arrived runny. Space is nice, service good; they refilled my iced tea without asking, and the location is good too. I will be back.
Great dinner with family. We had a selection of about 8 tapas. And a bottle of Chardonnay. Everything we had was amazing, and although I can't remember the name of any of them, none disappointed. I do wish we had more time for our meal, but before we had made dinner plans we had booked another event. I say that only to say make sure you allow enough time to really savor the experience.
