   Had a great meal and then the general manager, Richard Ruth helped us pick out some nice port for an after dinner drink. It was a lovey night!

   My boyfriend and I went here for a romantic dinner and it was absolutely perfect. We ordered a bunch of different tapas and a pitcher of sangria. The food came out fast and the staff was very attentive. We LOVED the bacon wrapped dates we actually ordered them again at the end of the night. We will be returning soon.

   The food was outstanding. Our top choice was the half chicken with the empanada and lamb meatballs close seconds. Try their gin bar drinks - tasty and an ample serving. My dinner mate raved about the cheesecake.

   We went to Amada specifically to try their lobster paella. I wasn’t sure if it needed to be preordered so I called the day before. They said they sometimes sell out, but would hold an order for us for the next day. When we went, they had put a note in our reservation and said no worries, we have some (they had plenty that day anyways). We started with a couple of appetizers: bacon wrapped dates, mushrooms a la plancha, and roasted cauliflower. All were fabulous! The lobster paella was as expected - delicious! There is also some white fish and shrimp as well as a half lobster over the rice. It is a bit spicy since it contains several types of peppers. Not only was the food wonderful (and I am quite finicky about food) but the staff was terrific - Misty who put our request in our reservation, Elizabeth our very friendly and knowledgeable server. The service manager also came by to make sure everything was great (sorry, do not remember her name). The lobster paella was a June special but it will also be served all July. Go and enjoy (with a glass, or bottle, of albarino)! And we had enough for a second meal for us two.

    Food and service was exceptional. We came for a traditional Spanish meal that from our experience would extend over a couple hours of wine, food and conversation. We ordered the Chef's selection of tapas. The food was excellent, but the courses came too fast. We made a brief comment to our server and she coordinated a slower pace with the kitchen. This effort resulted in a very memorable experience reminiscent of our dinners in Spain. We highly recommend Amada.

    Food was not really authentic Spanish…and while we expected our tapas to be served at different times, our main dishes should have been served at once…and they weren’t.

    Maybe it was the "private party" in the back room that made service slow, especially from the bar. Hadn't been for a while, but I felt the food quality had slipped a bit. Maybe Friday evening was the culprit. Will be back!

    Went Thursday at 5p with group of 6. Not very full at that time - most people at the bar. Service and food was excellent. Great selection of dishes that we all shared. The staff was very attentive to food allergies at the table and explained each dish that came out. We ordered a first round of dishes and loved those so much that we ordered another. Food and drinks came out very fast. Definitely plan to return.
