New York steak is cooked perfectly. Terrific sear and seasoning is spot on. Meat is rich and tender. The broccolini is flavorful. cheese is fresh and fragrant. Excellent sauce to go with the bread. Excellent food and good service
but the heat insulation of the room is not very good so it’s cold inside and the food becomes cold too quickly. Lighting also too dim in my opinion

A friend recommended this place, and I’m so thankful for that! George was very welcoming and the food was amazing. We started with brussel sprouts and lentil soup. Then moved onto butternut squash ravioli and short rib pappardelle. We ended with crème brûlée. We will be back!

If you want one of the best dining experiences and delicious cuisine, I highly recommend Ambrosia Ristorante! The Brussel sprouts are a must try, they are perfectly crispy. And the grilled octopus is incredible!! The service is great, the staff is extremely attentive and incredibly friendly.
The owners go above and beyond to ensure everything is going well and they treat each guest like family! This restaurant is a MUST try!!

Over the years this place has progressively gotten better and better but also slowly more and more fancy so expensive. Overall I think it's a great place that's a bit expensive with really great food.

The food was good and came out very quickly. We had a 6:30 reservation and by 8:05 our waiter was asking us to leave because another party was waiting for our table. While we ate our desserts and finished our drinks (that the waiter recommended to us) the bus person, waiter, and manager came up to our table about 15 times showing us that they were impatiently waiting for us to leave. Rude

By far the worst dining experience I’ve had in years. Was told waiting 15 minutes after our reservation is normal. Got seated in the echo-chamber.. probably called their greenhouse. Had to ask our waiter to request the neighboring table to stop their piercing screaming. We were offered a table in a quieter section, and when we got up we were screamed at by the loud table to leave. I don’t see in what environment this would ever be acceptable, but apparently yelling at other customers is fine here. Everything was normalized by the manager, which is hard to come back from.

What a horrific experience. Reservation…don’t bother. Waited 15 minutes (others were outside saying they’ve been waiting 15-20 min since their reservation.) after 15 min…asked the manager what is going on…he explained it’s a grace period and it’s normal…eventually enter the dining room. Can’t hear a thing…we are a table of two and their is screaming at the table behind us. Most tables are looking at each other and mouthing that this is insane and so loud. We tell the waitress and she tells the table to try to lower their voices. The table starts looking around. 15 minutes later super loud again but our waitress offers to seat us in another room where a table opened up. We get up to leave and a man at the loud table tells “get out!”…we tell the manager…says “trust me we will take care of it”…5 min later…seems like nothing was done. Manager continues to rationalize the situation. Didn’t even want our entrees. It was appalling. Would’ve been better at a fast food place. Do not waste your time here.

I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews, but I was compelled to write about our experience. I had a birthday dinner reservation for my husband a week in advance for a party of four. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted promptly and seemed like the service was pretty efficient. However, about half way through our dinner, we started having multiple bussing crew (at least 3 different people) plus our server, asking us if we were done with our food. It was so clearly evident, that we were not! Our reservation was for 5:15. We ordered apps that were served around 5:35. Our dinner served around 5:50~. Around 6:10 or so, visits to our table by the restaurant staff would be nonstop. Every 3-4 mins, they would ask if we were done with our food. Our server would say, no need to rush, but throughout our dinner, we had a minimum of 8-9 attempts to clear our table. At one point, one of the bussing staff started wiping off our table with her rag, while we were still holding utensils in our hands. Also to note, there was a mild snow storm last night and the restaurant was practically half empty and there should have been no reason to make us feel so rushed to leave. At every attempt to clear our table, we will tell them we're still working on our food, but these visits to clear our table just would not stop! We were annoyed to say the least. What should have been a pleasant birthday dinner experience turned into a quite uncomfortable time. To make matters worse, they said there was no notation on our reservation regarding my husband's bday, when I made sure with Noel(the person that took our reservation over the phone) that we are celebrating my husband's bday. It was also interesting to note, that these interruptive stops by their staff was only happening to us. There were a few other tables near us that were left to dine in peace. Our total time stayed was less than 2 hours, because we had a train to catch. The food was delicious and would love to revisit, but the inconsiderate level of service where you're bugged every 3-4 minutes is not something we want to come back too! If you're the owner/ manager reading this review, please talk to your staff about what is a proper level of service for patrons to dine and enjoy your establishment.

Everything has an interesting flavor profile. However, all the dishes were way too salty.
