    My colleagues and I went to Ambar for a work celebration and it was wonderful. We got the all you can eat and our server kept bring out dishes, we did not have to wait to order and we got to try a lot of new things. My water glass was always full and our server, Angeles G was a sweetheart. I would recommend Ambar to anyone who is hungry and wants a good expereince!
