Just a Party!

Me and two friends went to Ambar in Arlington and our waitress was Ana. She is very sweet and was ready to serve us! She had such grace, eloquence, and smiles with us a lot. She made sure to check on us and asked us if we wanted to order anything else. She let us know how much time we had left until the bunch experience was over. She made our first Ambar experience amazing!

Birthday Party

We went for a birthday and the waiter was great - he brought a surprise dessert after dinner. It was a nice end to a wonderful meal. The small plates were all amazing - amongst our party of 5 I think we tried nearly every option on the menu. I don't think we dislikes anything. The only complaint was a cocktail. The "pomegranate kiss" tagged like cough syrup, but the waiter swapped it out for us (I think for free?), so it was fine. Highly recommend for a fun, delicious night out.
