    Went here for brunch this past Saturday. We ordered from the family style brunch menu: $27 bucks a person for 3 appetizers, 1 entree each, and 2 sides. It was a great deal and the food was really good! Our server was attentive but not overbearing and super friendly and accommodating. While the appetizers and the sides are set, you get to choose your own entree out of 7 options. I got the sangria pancakes and my friend got the crab benedict. 10/10 recommend each entree. I would definitely go here again and you should too!

    Food was great, awesome value. Service was not good. Our server was rude and didn’t seem like he wanted to deal with us, as he had a large party he was giving all his attention to. Waited 30 minutes to see a dessert menu and another 30 minutes to actually get the bill. When he gave us the dessert menu he pointed at the options and yelled “one two three four!” And then ran away. Odd guy.

    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!!
