From the moment we stepped into Ambli to when we left, we were attended to and taken care of. I made a reservation for a family birthday dinner but preferred their Happy Hour menu. The hostess still seated us in the main dining and offered the HH items. The feel of Ambli casual, yet elegant. Lots of light and space to gather. Our server, John was amazing! He offered suggestions and brought the items out a couple at a time so that we were able to pace ourselves. We tried lots of HH items like the pani puri puffed pastries with a lentil filling. The lobster shooters were fun and delish! The ahi tuna roll was melt in your mouth and the kebob was soft and flavorful. My favorite was the rellano tacos! Everything was so tasty and delicious! We'll definitely be back to try more! At the end, they brought out a special birthday treat and even gave a birthday card to my husband, whose birthday we were celebrating! Overall a great experience. We were treated so well! We'll be back for sure!

Every time we show up here we are amazed there isn’t a line down the block. There should be! The food is killer, service is top notch and it has that neighborhood feel. The staff knows the food on the menu inside and out and you will get wonderfully different suggestions depending on who you talk to! The raspberry lemondrop is outstanding. We came back because of the loving feel you get when you walk through the door. There hasn’t been a time we have been there when we weren’t asked “how is the food” and they actually mean it!

If I could crush on Ambli every second of my life, I would be useless but utterly happy and forever in bliss. I love love love and love this spot more than dessert itself.
Staff is impeccable with their friendly smiles and warmth, attentive service and stellar culinary knowledge. Pritza embodies everything about Ambli. She is the epitome of a restaurateur but also the most inviting gracious host. She remembers details about guests and you feel like you want to sit and chat with her for hours.
I can rave forever about their happy hour as well as the dinner menu. I love the rotating selection of bites and cocktails. This is the one place that converted me to a gin lover with their drink. Recently had the raspberry lemon drop (prefer the sugar rim versus the salt version) and their lychee margarita martini. YES!!!! There is a drink goddess who created this for us thirty mortals.
Everything is made to share so play nice. It is almost a requirement that one must make the quintessential order of the lobster shooter. It is phenomenal. Period. The spicy tuna crispy rice, Indian trio and the lamb kebabs are incredible starters or perfect if you're not wanting one specific entree.
My recent favorite is the Thai croquettes (I may be bias). The texture and taste of toasted coconut and sambal with goodness that you can't stop smiling or wanting a second order. Not too spicy , just the right balance of flavor.
The entree that stole my heart is the Chilean sea bass. Ooeemmggee I can't get enough of this. There's broccoli, petite potatoes and savory tomatoes and a sauce I want to lick the bowl like an uncivilized foodie. The fish is cooked to perfection and just melts into your tastebuds. I am also a fan of the filet mignon roulade but I forego the blue cheese plantain due to my allergy to the cheese.
I do have soft spot for Ambli. It was the starting point of my love story and we make a point to always come as often as we can, for business lunches, gathering of our happy circle, and date nights. I'm pretty sure this is a forever thing with Ambli. Come and you'll see why you will crush hard.

I can not recommend this place enough!! Great drinks and amazing food, always with friendly customer service. An absolute gem. I recommend getting the raspberry lemon drop and coming at happy hour to try the most food. I've yet to have something that I don't like!

Got the tasting. Started off with the Pani Puri and the salad. Pani was decent but the salad was incredible! Yum yum yum! Next was the Chilean Seabass entree - recommended by my server - sooooo tasty! Loved every bite! I was underwhelmed with the dessert options from the tasting menu so I opted for the peanut butter mousse from the main menu. I picked over it because there was a lot going on. Not my favorite but the food outshined the dessert so I left happy! First time at this location. A huge fan of the location in Colorado Springs! Will be back!

Went for a drink after having a really bad day. Only to watch the bar tender ignore me. After finally getting a drink after waiting what seemed forever, I watched the bartender cough into his hand, wipe his nose, then proceeded to make a drink. For a high end place it was pretty gross.

I dream about their lobster shooters.

This is such a great spot. Outstanding service and really beautiful restaurant. We enjoyed happy hour in the bar. Good value, drinks were perfect and delicious and all the food was perfect. Loved the labnah and hummus dips, fries trio and beet/burrata salad. Don't think you can go wrong !

I have only been for Happy Hour. Not usually busy, although I have only been on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. They have a habit of changing their menu, so don't fall in love with anything on it. I do really like the food and drinks though, no complaints there.

Dinner here was fantastic! Our server was great, and offered us great advice when we were deciding what to order. Definitely consider the lobster shooters and the braised short rib! Both were absolutely delicious. All the food and cocktails we tried were great, but those two dishes deserve an extra shout out. We went fairly early in the dinner service, so the dining room wasn't full, so I don't know the true noise level when it's at capacity, but it was quiet enough for normal conversations across the table. I'll definitely be returning in the future.
Did not love the music when we arrived, but then 2 lovely guitarists came and played fantastic music..so all good... Food was such a delight...so many flavors, so beautifully prepared, lovely high end ingredients..Not inexpensive but worth every penny... We had the lobster shooters, the crab cakes and the sea bass..it was a LOT of food for 2 people....

I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this restaurant. It is one of the best in Denver. Relaxed atmosphere and extremely pleasant and present staff. The food is on par or better than most of the upscale restaurants in Denver and Boulder. Do yourself a favor and dine here.

Delicious food and amazing drinks. Fantastic wine selection. Great service. Family owned and the owner greets everyone personally when you walk in! Been dining here for 5 years! Exceptional!
