Sant Ambroeus SoHo

Cool place to relax and have a leisurely breakfast.
The coffee is always great and weLlove, love the fresh squeezed OJ!

Great Fun time. Great service and good food

Food was delicious and service was outstanding! We will definitely be going back

I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The service is always impeccable.

Can't go wrong with Sant ambroes ever

Had a lovely breakfast - very quiet for a Saturday morning. But that was part of the charm

Amazing food and environment! One of my fav spots in the city

Great food and service. Relatively quiet and elegant spot in the middle of SOHO.

I arrived at 8:40 and promptly ordered a cappuccino. Despite asking and making eye contact with the server, I did not receive until 9:23. All other tables around me were being served seamlessly. Menus were also not brought until around 9:15. I truly don’t even know who my server was, as nobody really introduced to us as our server. I asked for milk for my coffee 6 times (that is no exaggeration I tallied!) and didn’t get it until we were about to pay the bill. The food was great but unfortunately the experience was definitely not and I will not be back, and I can speak for my guests, too.

Service was ok for the prices they charge. Didn’t know a lot about menu. Food was wonderful and ambience great as well!

This is my first open table review. I am not one to write reviews, especially as someone who lives in NYC (I leave that job to the professionals) but the entire experience we had at Sant Ambroeus was exceptional.

I booked this during restaurant week to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday. Restaurant week is somewhat notorious for delivering less than stellar hospitality and I wanted to make sure that did not happen so I put a note on our reservation. I noted that we were celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday but that this was a bittersweet celebration as we lost my dad and her sister in less than six months this past year. Everyone, and I mean every single person we encountered during our time in the restaurant treated us so kindly and professionally.

I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free. I had INCREDIBLE gluten free pasta and flourless chocolate cake for dessert. We opted for the affordable wine pairings as well which the manager so kindly removed from our bill as a happy birthday gesture. It was SUCH a wonderful experience and I will be back as soon as I can be. That’s the whole point of restaurant week anyways, right?

Average food and high prices.
I had the octopus as appetizer which was decent , the Spaghetti al Pomodoro which were extremely bland.
My mate had the Tagliatelle alla Gricia and got stomach sick for a day.
Never again!

Small pours of wine

Right on Lafayette Street just south of Prince Street this pleasant casual restaurant has a quality attentive staff. The POLPO, POLENTA E SALMORIGLIO was an ample well prepared octopus coddled in polenta. The SRACCETTI DI POLLO AL BALSAMICO CON CIPOLLOTTI E SPINACI SALTATI was a tender chicken tenderloin complemented by the sauteed spinach and accented by the spring onion and balsamic vinegar. The bathrooms were clean. Certainly worth a visit for lunch or dinner.

the service here was EXCELLENT. had reservations for 8:30, didn't get seated until 8:45 but the staff was so apologetic and nice about it...checked in w us often while we were waiting to make sure we knew we werent forgotten. the food was good as well, but a little on the heavy side (obviously italian food) - you can eat half and take half to go if it's too much for you. also had healthier-ish and vegeterian options if youre into that! the octopus appetizer was delish, skip the spaghetti.. pumpkin cheesecake and flourless choco cake was good and not too sweet either. def want to come back during the day to see the space in daylight and try their lunch options.

Good people and nice serving... But when I ask about menu, my table waiter was not nice. But generally, it was fair.

Nice place but for restaurant week the menu could be more creative. Food has no taste, very disappointing.

We had a lovely evening. Food was good but not exceptional

Everything was perfect including my veal Milanese...xo

Although I enjoy the atmosphere, I sometimes find the staff rude and inattentive, especially at check-in. I was seated and my guest was told I wasn’t there so she waited at the bar for nearly 30 minutes. The food doesn’t warrant the prices. I won’t be back, especially for business when these things count.

I ate breakfast there, had cold cappuccino, tasteless avocado toast and creme fraiche instead of cream cheese with the salmon as promised. Overall, an underwhelming experience and I won't be going back!

My food was great, my friend found her chicken dry. The
service was enthusiastic at first and then, toward the end
of the meal, slacked off. I’d still go back, like the place.

Great food, friendly staff, beautiful

The food was excellent as always and the service was efficient. Pastas are great and they also have grass fed steak option which was perfection.

Loved it there. Food was delicious, although salad could be better and richer. Salmon is delicious. The dessert menu could be better and more sophisticated. look forward to my next visit :)

Surprisingly great! Hadn't been to one of these in a while. Good food and friendly service in a touristy locale.

Horrible waiter didn’t come by once after placing our order. Will not return.

Pasta was great! Ambiance romantic. Tiramisu was weird. Covered in so much coco powder it made me cough. Same thing happened to the table next to us when they ordered.

Birthday.
Very disappointed to get charged $31 per glass of the house sparkling rose. Outraged, actually!

The food is consistently fantastic, as is the service. Love brunches here!

Wonderful place, perfect for an early Saturday breakfast. The French toast was excellent, great option for a sweet paired with really interesting and delicious spreads. The egg sandwich was a great option as well, for a more traditional dish. The coffee was nice and hot, perfect for the morning. The service was excellent.

Always good
Seats are very uncomfortable. On purpose i bet

Food was excellent- service and ambiance were ok.

One of the classiest places in town to eat with a consistent menu; and quick, attentive and discrete service. Great for a date, or to take visiting friends or family.

A lovely night for my wife’s 40th birthday
Food was nice but a little pricey in my opinion and they tried charging me for doubles on my drinks.

Quickly settled and would return if coming back

The menu was so good we had 3 courses! Nice neighbourhood restaurant and a great menu.

Family get together

If you're looking to splurge, the avocado toast is a MUST! Overpriced, but worth every penny.

Amazing food but you’re sitting on top of the other guests. Tables too close

Remains as one of my trusted go-to's. I love coming here alone with a book on a Sunday afternoon or for lunch with my team from work or even when mom visits from LA. Perfect spot for a catch up with a good friend or a romantic date night for me and mine. Food is always delicious, service is always top notch and it's just a reliable fun zone of food goodness. I'll be back soon.
