    This was our first time going,atmosphere in An ambience. I loved. Love the decor and the way the tables and chairs are set up and styled . We were very comfortable sitting and having an intimate dinner. The food was top-notch. I didn’t give a five only because a little bit heavy on the salt for the truffle fries, but that could’ve just been my pallet. Everything was very flavorful and cooked perfectly.  server was very knowledgeable and helpful on any questions we had on the menu.  the mixologist for the drinks spot on definitely give the place a five star.
