Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and really good food.That sauce is highly addictive!I recommend the AB burger, pictured, as well as the macaroni and cheese with the AB sauce.I wish they would be open for dinner, because I will be here every night.

Make sure to get the truffle fries, the onion rings are pretty good too.

This has to be the best place to get a Rueben sandwich in the Bay.The quality of the food here is always very high, which reminds me of the quality of food I could get back home. Service is friendly and their back patio area is comfortable. Definitely recommended!

Really good food I recommend trying the onion rings and the truffle french fries they don't have a lot of menu items, but there are very good menu items. They have a really good selection of different beers and ciders. They have a decent wine selection be mindful that you will be sitting outside during your dining experience, and there might be a wait usually not very long.

Tacos - Tasty, but not worth $5 each taco 3/5.Mac & Cheese - Nicely melted cheese and served on a hot skillet, but it does need some salt. Good price for the size and can't go wrong with a decent mac and cheese. Queso Burger with truffle fries - Decent size and properly cooked medium rare, but is it special? Not really, just a decent burger with a more special jalepano aioli sauce. If you do get the fries, don't worry, they served well made and come in a solid amount. Burger 3.5/5 stars, fries 4/5 (got the truffle ones, good seasoning and not too overpowering with the taste if truffle)Service - Not that great, our waitress was talking it up with one other customer about their vacation while me and my partner ready to pay and have our food to-go. It was the other waitress who ended up serving us more water and helping us leave. She's great, but doesn't help much with the overall service so 3/5 stars.Overall, it's a small intimate space, indoor and outdoor seating. They change their menu every so often. It's a okay try, but not sure if I'm personally coming back. Maybe I will when there's better weather. We sat outside and the rain got heavier. Even though we were practically done already, that waitress kept on talking till the other one asked her for help.

Went here for date night and it is a cute place for date night. It does get busy, but Niles is a cute area to walk around so we put our names on the waitlist and took a walk down the street to check out the antique shops (which all close pretty early btw). For our starter we ordered baked brie, which was delicious. My husband ordered the steak frites -medium rare and I ordered a burger. Both were pretty good. Don't expect fancy steakhouse type steak, but wasn't bad.

This cute restaurant is located in Niles, which is a nice quaint area of North Fremont. Theres ample parking along this strip along with a lot on the other side of the street. This is a great restaurant with a short and simple menu. We came for lunch, their appetizer offerings are longer than their main entrees. We had the baked brie was a great, sweet offering and the brussel sprouts were good. The burger was delicious. The best part of this restaurant is that its really cute. Theres limited indoor seating (we saw about two tables), most of the seats are in the back in a tiny brewery-esque feel. They have heaters but it does get a little chilly. This is a great place for a fast snackish bite, or for your friends to come late night for some beers and appetizers.

We were there for a lunch on a Saturday and it was not super busy. We asked for a salad and two soups as appetizers and three steaks. The soups came so late and immediately after they brought the steak. So when we got to the steak it was already cold. Also the onion soup had a burnt slice of bread with so much cheese. Then the steak was the other disappointment. I asked for well done and it was more of a carbon piece than a steak! Imagine you start on a steak that's cold and burnt!The meat was super chewy and probably not the best quality. So overall I would not recommend the food here.The ambient is cute and good. The restroom is clean also. Our service lady was polite and nice.

This place has been on my try list for a long time but unfortunately I was left disappointed. The service here is friendly and attentive but food does take a while to come out. I got the steak medium rare and it was more medium. The steak was a bit tough and chewy in some areas but had a nice char flavor. The fries were okay; they taste like the frozen fries you buy at a grocery store. My gf didn't enjoy her ribs; she said it was tough and the sauce was really sweet. The coleslaw wasn't good either. We also got the chocolate mousse for dessert and that was the best thing we ate here.

This is a fantastic great place for gourmet level food. I highly recommend it. Located in the old Town area of Miles/Fremont which is a very charming and picturesque location, and not too far from San Jose.

This cute backyard feel tiny restaurant in Niles is perfect for a small family dinner or date night. I loved the ambiance, the simple light decor, clean bar, nicely spaced out tables, and service. There is no reservations here so expect to wait.Beyond the ambiance the rotating menu is something to keep an eye out for, while you might love the pictures and idea of the Cajun chicken on yelp, we didn't find it on the menu on our visit. We ordered two steak frites, which I found tough. The fries on the side were delicious. The best thing we had on our table was the queso beef burger, it was a fantastic burger, probably the best you'll find in Fremont. The STL bbq ribs were as the menu described more of a slow roast, with decent flavor, but left us a little meh. I missed the smokiness of a good rib dish.Overall, Ambrose Butchery is lovely restaurant, I would return and try some of the other menu items, but some of my family members would not. Be mindful of your meat level of doneness, two people in our party ordered their dishes medium well and it came out as a medium.

All in all, a good experience and glad our group had an early dinner there. Menu is somewhat limited, but everything we ordered was delicious and cooked perfectly. The only significant downside is that it's a small space, so if the weather is bad, there's very few seats inside.
