Was at a reception for my granddaughter Oct. 18 and this restaurant and bar was great. The orzo was the best I have had, and the Greek potatoes were out of this world. I could have ate those two items and been very happy. My wife had the salmon, and she said it was great.
Went to a reception for my granddaughter on Oct. 18, 2025. This is a beautiful restaurant and bar. The bartenders were great. The food was even better. The orzo is the best I've had. The Greek potatoes were out of this world. I could make a meal out of the orzo and potatoes. I'm not a fish eater but my wife said the salmon was the best she has had.

We had the most amazing experience planning my daughter’s wedding reception at Ambrosia Taverna! The event staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — they were friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The food was absolutely incredible, especially the salmon, which our guests are still talking about! Every detail was handled beautifully, and the evening couldn’t have been more special. Highly recommend...read full review
