This is one of my absolute favorite brunch spots. As always Ambar did not disappoint. The food is truly incredible and so delicious.

The servers got mixed up as to which tables ordered what. They brought out plates that weren't ordered, and some of the hot food was cold!! They were standing around and chatting to each other, more than paying attention.

The food was okay, but I wish we ordered off of the menu vs. $35 for small plates.

Food and atmosphere were great. Would come back again

I really enjoyed this place. The bartender was very friendly. The food was served on small plates. I ate all you can eat lunch. Overall a good experience.

$35 small plate special is the BEST deal ever. Fantastic flatbread. Fried Chicken is my favorite, the sauce is amazing. All shrimp and lamb dishes are delicious.

Great food! Better service!

Very considerate of Covid protocols. Everything there is delicious, and the options still cover a wide range, even though they have had to pare the menu back from its pre-pandemic glory. The staff is more than happy to answer questions and provide recommendations (but take it from me, you want to save room for, and order, the chocolate dessert, it's unique and fabulous!)

We tried almost all of the dishes and found most well prepared, presented, and very tasty. Stand outs included the zucchini fritters, fried cauliflower, salmon, and especially the dips and spreads. For the 5 of us it was our first occurrence of eating outside at a restaurant during COVID and it worked out well. We will be back.

The food was great and so was the ambiance. The only advise I would have is to order in between rounds of food as the next batch can take a minimum of 15 minutes and breaks the appetite as it takes quite a while.

Great restaurant to eat at. Good ambience and good. Loved the menu.

Experience was good, music was pretty loud..but ambiance is nice even though COVID impacts full capacity of the restaurant.

Best restaurant I’ve ever been too! Everything was great overall

It was a great experience. Wonderful food and our server kept things coming and we felt safe enough indoors even though we initially had planned in eating outdoors, but the weather changed that plan.

WOW! Will definitely be back. Great experience and good. Sandra was our waitress and was great at explaining all the dishes and she was clearly so passionate. She made the experience for us!

Very pleasant outside seating. Excellent service. Good value food as consistent as ever.

Service was extremely slow and our server seems overwhelmed. We had to wait for our drink with empty glasses in front of us. Ambar expanded their patio to be able to accommodate more people, unfortunately that impact the service. I loved coming to Ambar for dinner and brunch, now I’m not sure good service is their priority anymore. The food is phenomenal though, as always.

Food was excellent as usual. Loved the unlimited brunch!!

Brunch was amazing! My party and I always enjoy the food, drinks and service. This is definitely a location we’ll visit time and time again.

Our service was outstanding and the food was incredible. Nikola was a wonderful waiter who knew his menu and was aware of the allergies at the table. His help was appreciated!

Marina was a phenomenal server with great recommendations and attention to detail that made our experience out of this world!

Favorite place for every special occasion or date night. Staff, Food and overall experience is always top notch!

Fantastic food!!!

Awful experience at Ambar! I would give -0- start to this place if I could. A lot of the dishes here just aren't good. Quality of service was awful! We ordered the Balkan experience ($35 per person) and after that the waitress disappeared for 20 minutes! We started complaining about the pace of food coming to our table and she responded saying that's how our kitchen works for Balkan Experience !!!! seriously?

Everyone especially waitresses are absolutely wonderful

Omg. My group cannot stop raving about how great our experience was! We are getting a group together to come back ASAP! The food was delicious, the service was top notch and the ambiance was wonderful. There were so many great dishes but some of our favorites were the Slow roasted lamb, tomato soup, the spreads, fried chicken, Brussel sprouts mmmmmm mmmmm mmmm! Can’t wait to go back!

A pre-pandemic regular, I had long-held Ambar to be my DC area favorite. Last weekend the food was not up to par. Items were cold, undercooked, tasteless. I was extremely disappointed, but hope it was a fluke.

Overall good, food was great...service was a little slow and took about 30 min to get our check back. I know some people like to hang out after so they wouldnt mind.

The food was cold and honestly terrible. I don’t normally leave bad comments but it was almost $100 for two people and we legit just decided to drink in order to make it worth it. Idk if covid has an affect or what but I won’t be returning. The staff was nice though-food was not.

Always a great experience! Passionate servers, knowledgable staff, great food and drinks!

Amazing food! you will not leave hungry! great service!

The service alone is one big reason to visit Ambar. The food was delicious and not something I would make at home. Creative drinks. The outdoor seating was perfect ...enough space for social distancing, plenty of shade, service was prompt. We will definitely be back and highly recommend to friends.

I LOVE this place. Maybe my favorite restaurant in the DC area. Delicious food, great service, excellent value.

They have created a great outdoor area. I love this place!!

Great service and good food. There was issues with the table next to us, and the manager was prompt to resolve the issue and make it right. Will be back.

Some dishes were really good and others not so much. We enjoyed the unlimited small plates dining. Service was spotty but manager was really friendly. Drinks were good.

Fantastic food, definitely go for the Balkan experience. Plates came out a little slow so order some multiples if you want to have more than a bite! They are extremely accommodating for COVID and have plenty of spaced out outdoor seating.

Good food, wonderful staff, affordable prices; my friend recommended this spot. The $35.00 Ambar Experience is a must try - small plates would take you on a culinary journey of Balkan food. I would love to return for brunch when I visit DC next time.

Took a friend to lunch on the way to the airport. So many options for the Express lunch. Affordable at $25 and we definitely ate our fill.

Ámbar is the go to restaurant for my family. They have unlimited Balkan tapas and we have tried them all. Top restaurant quality tapas anytime!

Our hostess was great. Our waitress did a great job describing the menu. The food was delicious!

Food is incredible! Only thing I would say is the dishes started getting saltier and saltier the later it got. I don't know if it was a bad batch, or a different chef, or intentionally so that we'd leave XD, but that made the experience less than spectacular. I'd say if this was a one time thing, I'd definitely come back
