“Such a fun experience during our trip to DC. All the items we choose were outstanding and different . It was the highlight of our rainy day .“

“Ambar's newest location does not disappoint. If you know Ambar, it goes without saying the food is amazing. new offerings on the menu gave me some new favorites to add to my already long list. New cocktails for a new address, yes and thank you! The design esthetic is light and refreshing...And the 2nd floor ceiling is an instagram dream. Easily 5 stars.“

“Sophisticated flavor without being pretentious. I would have appreciated a larger portion of cheese with the charcuterie. However, before my visit I never had a relationship with mustard and now I do. It is not to be underestimated. Dave/David was a pleasant and knowledgeable server with great suggestions.“

“What a great place ! I’m Swiss and very critical when it comes to “ Swiss restaurants “ in other countries. The best Kalbs Bratwurst und Rösti. The Vermicelli tasted just like at home. Great hospitality. And fair prices. THANK YOU FOR A HOME EXPERIENCE AWAY FROM HOME“

“Me and my husband had the most amazing time. You can tell they care about you and your experience. We have ordered the restaurant week menu and it didn't disappoint. This place restored my hope for DC restaurants. Hidden gem and i want them to stay that way. Not everyone have good taste Humberto was amazing, so as the owner. Very genuine and humble. Honestly i cannot pinpoint which course was the best. What i know for sure is the steak was so unforgettable . Next time i am gonna go all out and try their tasting menu. Thank you for keeping up the amazing work . Raven and Alan“

“Penne Pasta with Pork Bolognese Crispy Lemongrass Chicken Caramelized Cauliflower It tastes good. The environment is nice“

“Unreal experience. Chef Sebastian is in a league of his own. Some standouts weee the foie gras, lobster entree, truffle Brie, and baguette with butter (the last was simple yet perfect). But truly every dish we tried was outstanding. For cocktails, we had the last word & tequila bouquet, all great. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Will definitely visit again, either for date night, special occasion, or just for a happening dinner spot.

Also, the atmosphere is very fun, intimidate, and swanky. I will definitely be back!“

“Truly amazing place! Would come back here again, upset that I only found it now after having lived in Georgetown for 4 months. Atef was an absolute joy, one of the best waiters I've ever had! Service is comparable to Michelin restaurants. Would recommend the asparagus starter, truly Michelin level (splurge on the egg, it's worth it!)“

“We were seated promptly upon our arrival and got started on ordering right away. The service was friendly and quick and the food was fantastic. There was a wide variety of food to try and it was all delicious! It wasn't too loud, allowing for easy conversation. We'll definitely go back!“
