    I think that out of all three Ambars in the DC Metro area, the food is the best here at the Capitol Hill location. It’s very tasty and savory.

    This location is not like any of the other locations. Mostly the same menu, but everything, from the menu to the food to the ambiance has been elevated. Beautiful design, retaining elements of the art deco that is in their other locations, but adding a more modern twist.

    Such an aesthetically cool restaurant, yummy food (the broccoli dish was a surprise star of the night), and we had the most exceptional customer service. I don’t always take servers up on their recommendations; but every rec made was spot on. Enjoyed the food, great ambience and the best energy from our server. Thanks for a great night!
