The Ambleside unit of the Ancora Waterfront restaurant is gorgeous! We had an awesome experience overall. Phenomenal service from start to finish and great selection of sushi and appetizers. The lobster roll was out of this world, just a bomb of different flavours; my favourite was the ceviche mixto though. The dining room has a wonderful decoration and the view to the Ambleside Beach is glorious.
While the ambiance is exceptional, the food and drink fall slightly short of expectations. The menu is creative, but the flavors can feel underwhelming and not as bold as anticipated. Similarly, the cocktails and wine list are decent but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, Ancora is more about the atmosphere than the culinary experience. If you’re looking for a beautiful setting, it delivers, but the food may leave you wanting more.
It is hard to rate this restaurant, on one hand its beautiful, great location by the sea, great service and great music, on the other hand very mid food, taste wise just not matching the price and freshness is a hit or miss, loved the yucas bravas though. Also shoutout to our waitress who i forgot ur name, u were amazing. Btw the restaurant had no customers at all, and in two hours we were there only one other table was occupied ( weekday 7ish pm)
