Wonderful, intimate, phenomenal food and wine pairings. Cost may be prohibitive for some, but otherwise it’s really special.

A special and intimate dining experience. My husband and I went for Valentine’s Day and enjoyed a six course tasting. The food is delicious and presentation is stunning. The restaurant is small which makes the experience very intimate, which we enjoyed, however, the service was lacking. We expected to be WOWed by the service and staff, especially because of the high quality food and price you pay to dine there. However, this was not the case. There were no smiles, no warm welcoming and when the staff would speak about each dish it was as if they did not want to talk about any of the food. Perhaps it was an off-night on the service, but we did really enjoy the food!

We enjoyed a Valentine’s weekend dinner here. Delicious food and wine in a quiet setting. Could not have asked for a better meal. Our favorite course was the beef crudo served in a narrow bone; our least favorite was the pork which was fattier than what I typically like. We hope to return again for another special occasion.

Not great, the menu was not inspiring. We’ve been to ambra maybe 10 times (try to go once a season as the menu changes and/or work in a date night), the food is prepared well and each course was decent standing on its own... But I felt like this menu all we had was seafood and white wine (wine pairing)..then I get to entre ready for something to blow my socks off and you give me pork! Meh! This is the last time I will be dining at ambra unfortunately. There are too many good restaurants in philly where we leave completely happy and satisfied in every aspect of the dining experience..top to bottom, left to right, and all the other fun ways.

Among the best Philadelphia restaurants - though the tasting could benefit from greater pacing and an end-of-meal treat (WILL BYOB did Madeleine's, Eleven Madison Park does granola, Vespertine does a custom perfume, etc.). Other than these two comments, Ambra is a spectacular experience worth revisiting at least twice. Run to Ambra.

Our last prix fixe meal was at Vetri Cucina. That was good but so expensive! Ambra’s food and service were excellent and easily on par with Vetri yet less than half the price. Each course was its own treat of amazing flavors. The wines were interesting we tried several that were outstanding especially one from Austria. Service was attentive but not formal. We loved it.

Best kept secret in Philadelphia. Outstanding value for a pre fixe. Half the price of Vetri. Imaginative dishes, just the right size, and the wine pairing is perfect. Upbeat music, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Timing was perfect, not rushed.
