    Amador has been amazing every time I’ve been. The pork was tender and the rice was really flavorful. My partner got the Cuban and said it was delicious. Super sad that they’re closing their doors, but I hope something good is in their future. Best of luck to the owners and all their employees

    Great view of the city. Very Interesting menu. The small plate options let you try a couple different things. Bar menu was limited (no Woodford). Need more California reds (cabs).

    Our server was great - he made sure the place was set up well for our kids. We were delighted by the very strong Cuban coffee, great menu options for the kids, and lovely scenic view of the river. The decor was calming and fun to look at after a day at the aquarium. We will be back.
