    A little less music volume in the place would make it more enjoyable. The service needs some structure. Drinks came late in the middle of the meal. And it was not crowded. The fish tacos were very good as well as the Cabrito and the guacamole went a little too much lime. The Chalupas and the Tacos were just ok. It could do a lot better.

    Beignets and service was fantastic! My wife enjoyed her muffaletta, for some reason the garden omelete (eggs spongy vs, fluffy) nor the potatoes(freshness), just didnt do it for me. My server was on point and the friendliest. I still enjoyed myself. Thanks for your service.

    Excellent food and atmosphere! Truly a gem compared to the other touristy restaurants along the Riverwalk. My only suggestion would be to make more tres leches. They were completely out by 7:30pm.😕 Other than that, delicious!!!😋

    The Ambler Restaurant offers a beautifully inviting atmosphere that feels both comfortable and sophisticated. The staff is exceptionally polite and professional, making for a delightful dining experience. Our waiter frequently checked in on us to ensure everything was to our liking. When I mentioned that I would prefer my dish to be heated a bit more, she promptly and cheerfully addressed my request. To my surprise, the chef personally came out to apologize and graciously offered a complimentary dessert, along with a freshly prepared plate that was absolutely perfect. I left feeling thoroughly satisfied and would give this place all the stars if I could! The service was excellent and the ambiance elegant. I will definitely be returning!

    The cuisine is a very high quality Michelin standard. The head maitre d’ was professionally dressed and excellent. The assistant maitre d’ needs to pay attention to dress and hair style. The waiter was very good. We were seated outside. Halfway through dinner service a couple with a very large labradoodle was seated across from us. The odor, pet dander, and whining from the animal almost ruined the dinner. The waiter and maitre d’ quickly reseated us to a quite elegant corner inside. That completely transformed the dining experience. Be cognizant of pet owners and animals allowed in the outside dining area.
