Ambar Clarendon - Menu

Great selection of tapas all types. Good service. Nice choice of seating: inside/outside, bar, high top, tables, booths. Reasonable pricing and very reliable high quality food.

Although I have known about Ambar for awhile this was the first time I ate a meal there. Absolutely delicious and a taste bud journey. The atmosphere is a beautiful escape. I look forward to coming back for the full experience with friends in the near future.

Ambar never disappoints! Stopped by the Clarendon location. We had the bottomless brunch option. It's probably the best brunch value in town. Food comes out quickly and they have well prepared bottomless mimosas option. You have to love the decor of there locations. The server we had was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. If you are ever in town and are looking for a good brunch please stop by!! View menu

We had Fahad as a server and he exceeded all expectations. Truly an amazing server but also amazing person. He was very intuitive and ordered things that we didn’t even say because he understood our eating style. We even got our car towed from the parking lot (not owned by Ambar) and he was so sweet and catered to our every need. If I could give him 10 stars I would, thank you.

Really fun spot to try, seems to be incredibly popular so a rez is prob a good idea. However, we were early and found a free spot at the bar. Fun Balkan brandies to sample, and plenty of other choices on the drink menu. I liked the small plates, they were very small, but you can try a lot of things that way and just re-order faves. The lamb lasagna was excellent. This is a great spot for a group. Pretty loud, of course, with the amount of people. Food came out pretty fast and the server was easy to snag when we needed anything.

I came here on a Saturday at 1pm with 2 friends and it was very loud and too crowded. It was so busy that we didn't get a menu for the first 15 minutes after being seated. Water also took a while for us to get too. I get that people are day drinking and all, but for the price, how crowded and loud it was, plus the servers being too caught up with too many tables, I'm not really sure how I feel. I wanted to have a nice, upscale brunch outing with friends I rarely get to see, but this was not it. Our throats were hurting after having to shout over the noise just so we could talk to each other. 3 stars because the food was at least good. View menu

I came here based off some recommendation on my Maps app. By far the most random way to get a restaurant recommendation but I am so so glad I listened. Turns out Ámbar is a former Michelin rated restaurant, and while I have no clue what the expectation should be for one of those... I do know that at my time of review for less than $30 I had an all you can eat lunch of absolutely devine foods with no reservation needed on Thursday. Nearly each small (tapas style) meal was fantastic! Gorgeously plated. This close to DC I spent a lot more for a lot less. Great service and cute ambience this is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a slightly elevated lunch experiences

Failed Experiment in AI Robots The Sunday service is tailored towards all you can eat $42.99 Ambar Experience. At least that is how they apparently program their experimental AI robot server. It (a very realistic human depiction) meets you at the table and slightly overenthusiastically says I 'll be taking care of you, and offers a menu with no prices listed other than the $42.99 one. When later told by us that we were not that hungry, and just wanted an entrée, it said it comes out about the same. When asked if the Meat Pie was indeed $42.99, a small smoke trail began trickling from its ears, and its eyes went in a circle before acknowledging no, the Meat Pie does not cost $42.99.
