    We had such an incredible experience dining at the new Amber Cove. If you haven’t tried it yet - Please GO! It’s truly a neighborhood gastronomy gem. The food was so fresh and delicious and the presentation was visually elegant. The flavors are sophisticated, perfectly balanced and delectable. They also offer a curated wine pairing that went beautifully with each dish. Our Server was very attentive and friendly. Chef Je came out to introduce himself and checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. We will definitely be dining here frequently.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there. The ambience, the food and the` service could not have been better. The poached lobster linguini was excellent as were the dishes the others had. The owner was very friendly and told us how he came to open the restaurant and how he came to name it Amber Cove. You won't be disappointed.

    We could always rely on KC American Bistro for excellent food. Now it is Amber Cove. Fortunately, the shift to a new chef & a new owner has not changed the excellence. The menu has undergone a complete overhaul and now features a more global flavor. The bread came out nice & warm. I had the special of the night - a tuna steak with a gorgeous presentation. My husband had the grouper on the menu. He thought it was very good. It was pretty, too. Leave some room for dessert, as they have a pastry chef on staff. We had the key lime bar & the carrot cake. Both were superb with a beautiful presentation.
    Amber CoveResponded on June 2, 2025
    Thank you for your kind words and continued support as we've transitioned from KC American Bistro to Amber Cove. We're so glad you enjoyed the new globally inspired menu—from the tuna special and grouper to our beautifully crafted desserts. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Warm regards, Tim Herman Owner, Amber Cove
