We had excellent service and the waiter gave wonderful recommendations. He was very attentive and the ambiance was amazing. Love the partnership with the school district for the students to play jazz on Mondays. They sounded great and very professional.

Amada is in my Mount Rushmore of fine dining! It’s a must do kind of experience for any date or joyous occasion. I love the dim lighting, romantic vibe, soft sexy instrumental music playing in the background, and very attentive staff. The bathroom even smelled great! There are so many delicious flavors to try with the tapas and the price is surprisingly reasonable for what you get! Thanks Again!!

The food and service is amazing. This restaurant is a neighborhood gem. I am certain it will quickly become a hard reservation to get. The wait staff is attentive without being smothering. They are there when you need them, and they give you space when you don’t. The fried sea bass was great and their shrimp cocktail is to die for. Ask for their hot sauce.
