    Our experience at Amada was disappointing. The host was acted as if seating us was an inconvenience. After being seated, we waited for 15 minutes without even a greeting or acknowledgment from the staff. No one came by to offer water, take drink orders, or even let us know they’d be with us shortly. Feeling ignored and unwelcome, we decided to leave.

    Had a birthday dinner for a family member and it included a table of 10 people. Accommodating a crowd that large on a holiday weekend would normally be a challenge for any restaurant. Amada was fantastic. From our gracious greeting to the semi private room we were escorted to, to the individual coat tree next to the table to accommodate 10 winter coats, an unusual and very welcome detail, to the stellar personal and professional service, outstanding food and pacing of courses, everyone had something to please their taste and the overall experience was wonderful. Truly a memorable birthday dinner! It was a well-oiled machine, and we enjoyed it immensely. Kudos to the Amada team for a lovely lively evening.

    The food is always great here. The charcuterie board was amazing. Lots of items and good portions. The potato bravas are so good! The garlic shrimp came out bubbling hot and so tasty. The croquettes were delicious as was the crab stuffed peppers. The French toast and eggs Benedict entrees were both delicious.

    We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed such a variety of our dishes! It's wonderful to know the charcuterie board, potato bravas, garlic shrimp, and croquettes made such an impression, as well as the crab-stuffed peppers. We're equally pleased the French toast and eggs Benedict entrees hit the mark for you. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and look forward to serving you again!

    The service was great, as well the food. The Shakshouka was delicious and came with a small grilled cheese which was tasty and the perfect size. Also, the waiter was great. He was friendly, efficient and had a great sense of humor. He made a good experience great!
