   I believe there is a difference in quality of food/experience in the two Ambar locations. I went to the DC location, within the past two months, and absolutely loved the food, the service and the overall experience. The Clarendon/Arlington location fell short. The wait for the food was entirely too long (it was not a busy hour), a lot of the dishes were cold (dishes that should not be cold), and they did not have items on the menu. In terms of the physical location there was a roof leak, it was extremely cold, and the bathroom had a strong smell. I do want to give props to our waiter. He was very friendly, tried to accommodate as best as he could and checked in on us often. In the future, if I plan to dine at Ambar, I will make the trek to the DC location.

   Our server took our final order without reminding us that our 2 hour allotted time was up. So while waiting for our final plates, our server was telling us our time was up. Why didn’t she just tell us that our time was approaching and she can order one more round?

   Excellent food! We had two couples, one of which was vegetarian. There were more than enough options to satisfy everyone and service was excellent. We were able to be seated downstairs which is a smaller area with its own bar. It felt more quaint and for us added to the ambiance. If you are looking for excellent food with friends this needs to be added to your list!

   We have eaten at Ambar DC and loved it, during the week for dinner. This was different. The website showed a lunch menu. We were given a more expensive brunch menu, no option but to have alcohol included. Neither of us drink. Less Slavic food choices. The music was like being in a dance club. We could barely hear each other to hold a conversation. And the iced tea we ordered was not included, so we were charged an additional 14.00 for two glasses of tea each. The food was not as good as at the DC Ambar. This was a very disappointing and expensive meal. I wish we had realized the difference between eating at the DC and Arlington locations, and on the weekend and during the week.

   Excellent dishes. The all-inclusive is only a good deal if you have a teenage son along. I did, so the two of us explore 8 dishes and then he reordered the shrimp and the cauliflower delights. Kinda noisy and too cold inside but cheerful setting.

   No, we were there at peak lunch time and noise level was obviously higher. Things quieted down later.

    What a great introduction to Balkan cuisine! Although we shy away from red meat, we found plenty of chicken (fried and skewered), seafood (salmon and shrimp), vegetable (cauliflower, brussel sprouts, asparagus, eggplant) and salad dishes to sample. Our friend - who does enjoy red meat - raved about the beef tartare, the pork neck and the lamb sausage. We now understand why Ambar is so popular with the Clarendon crowd.

    Great service, “American-friendly” menu with mild flavors, VERY HIGH noise level, and a leaky ceiling that dripped water on me and the table.

    The price is super affordable, no doubt. The drinks were made well. The restaurant was not very cool for some reason. It seemed as if the air conditioner wasn’t working. The food wasn’t hot, but it tasted okay.

    Me and my friends don't get to go out much but we decided on Ambar and have always had good experiences. Well this time was different we are all bartenders and servers and know that reviews are looked at by management. Our waitress was EXTREMELY RUDE!!! She had an obvious attitude when we were first sat but we didn't want it to ruin our experience. The noise level was quite loud and as I was ordering our waitress asked me to repeat my order when I spoke up louder for her to hear she took it as me yelling at her and she puther hand in my face! Yes she put her hand in my face when SHE was the one who asked me to repeat myself. I had zero reasons to yell at her so I'm not sure why she reacted that way. I was so taken aback that as I was telling my friends what happened she over heard me and came BACK OVER to the table to Rudly say " yea because you were screaming at me". So not only did she act extremely rude and then wanted to continue the argument to justify her putting her nasty hands in my face. My friend immediately starting looking for management which never came to the table. We observed our waitress then go to all her other tables with the same short, nasty, demeanor. Once I was about to get up to find management she came over and apologized because she said her uncle was sick and she was dealing with a lot. I totally understand ppl having bad days but there is NO WAY she should've been allowed to work. I completely blame management for makingt this women work when she was having a family crisis. She said she tried calling out but was told she had to work. At a place that is a tapas and having to order multiple times her attitude completely ruined our experience. The ONLY reason we didnt seek management is because even though we asked 2 ppl to bring them over they never arrived at our table. My friends never received their drinks after that and we had to order coffee like 4 times before it was brought out. More things went wrong but we will NEVER RETURN!!!

    Fun brunch. Very busy but we had plenty of space on the outdoor patio. Food was very good. Drinks were not great. Not sure of the value for the all you can eat brunch but it is enjoyable if you aren't looking to pinch pennies.

    Very disappointed with Ambar Clarendon brunch experience. $24 for a 10in long tray of dips and lightly pickled veg is insane! The menu stated the charcuterie board included meats, yet when non came out with dips and I inquired I had multiple people spout excuses about import costs. Then, two minutes later a second tray of dips is brought out (free of charge) and meats are included. Made no sense. Then, checkout time comes and our waiter hovers over me as he explains how I should tip more than normal because I used a gift card for part of the cost. So uncomfortable. Will not be returning and recommend you go elsewhere.

    Absolutely terrible experience. We couldn’t hear anything given that we were seated right underneath a speaker which made it harder to understand the waiter. Food was extremely subpar. It seemed like they prepared it ahead of time and just recooked it as everything including the eggs were over cooked (eggs had that hard film that you get when you over cook them and they were rubbery). Everything was over salted and the prices were very high especially given the quality. We suspect that they cook the food in bulk given that it was brunch time and just reheat food even if you order al a carte. We will not be going back.

    Service was terrible, extremely slow. The server was more interested in talking to his friends in another table rather than taking care of customers. Then he took the final order and 20 minutes later he came back again to actaully make the order. Then a dessert took another 20 minutes to arrive. It was pretty bad and ruined the good food.

    Great food - great value! We did the prixfixe a la cart option. We finished almost every crumb of every dish that we ordered. We will 100% be back to explore more of the plates. It was clear the chefs knew how to prepare everything from salmon and lamb to cauliflower.
