I specifically booked Amar for my 45th birthday. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was outstanding, and the overall experience was truly amazing. They even gave me a single rose which was super sweet. I most definitely will continue to go back time and time again.

Always a favorite for my wife and I , every time we go they exceed our expectations from their staff to their food.

I attended during the Valentine's Day celebration. The atmosphere was lovely, with exceptional service and interactive activities for all the women. The place and decor were perfect, as was the waiter's service. However, we ordered the spicy seafood pasta, and the spiciness was excessive and unbearable for any palate. They should warn customers that it's their spiciest dish. We had to order double portions of another dish, but even so, the rest of the food, with a more pleasant flavor, was enjoyable. The drinks and appetizers were equally good. Besides that issue during that day, I recommend the place; I've been three times.

Since it was Valentine's day I think the cooks were overwhelmed and didn't cook the food good. Not to mention the waitress brings out a warm bottle of wine??? Why? But overall it was ok I think I might give it another try!

Amazing food. Amazing service. From walking in, staff was very welcoming and attentive, even with it being a busy day (Valentines). And the food was to die for! From appetizer to entree to dessert, everything was SO good. Would definitely go again to explore more of the venue.

Third time visiting and though the food is phenomenal, the service is abysmal. Our first night, the server seemingly left after we had already asked for our checks, and after a half hour of waiting we had to flag someone else down to get them for us. My first two visits I figured that our server's lack of attention and enthusiasm was due to being overwhelmed since the restaurant was full, but the third time it was SuperBowl Sunday and the restaurant only had 3 tables throughout the entire night. Even then, our server appeared annoyed and was not attentive when we wanted to order or needed refills on our drinks. Again, we waited well over 20 minutes to be able to ask for our checks, which were incorrect, and then watched our server begin to stack away chairs while we were still waiting for her to come back with our corrected checks and to collect our cards. If I had cash on me, I would've thrown a $50 on the table and walked out. This has been the same server all 3 times, though I unfortunately did not get her name, it's very unlikely that I'll be making my way back here due to the poor service.

Amar is a beautiful Peruvian-Mexican spot with amazing food and great customer service. We didn’t have reservations, so we sat at the bar and still had a really good experience—the staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming.
The food was very flavorful and clearly well thought out, and the drinks were very good. You can tell they put effort into both the menu and presentation. They also have a lot of dessert options, which was a big plus.
The only small downside was that the food seemed to be placed on a heating stand, which made the rice a bit crunchy instead of staying warm while the rest of the meals were being prepared. Another thing I found a little odd was the bathroom situation—it’s located in another restaurant, and for such a beautiful place with nice décor, the bathroom looked more like a gas station, which kind of throws off the overall vibe.
Other than those minor details, everything was perfect. Great food, great drinks, and great service—I’d definitely come back.

Try the salmon. I am coming back for that. We also had the octopus tacos and the shrimp empanadas. This place is really really good. Try it.
Went here for brunch. Service by the waiter was great and attentive. However, the food and service of the kitchen was disappointing. We ordered three plates and each was brought out at staggered times. We waited an additional 15 min for the 3rd plate (which was the waffles), but watched as the table that came after us received their food first. Overall the dishes seem unique and creative, but service could be improved. In addition, we came when the business had opened at 9:30am not busy at all.

We discovered Amar while making impromptu plans for a trip to El Paso, TX. We’re passionate about Peruvian food, and in Dallas, there aren’t many options available. Reservations are made through OpenTable. Upon arrival, our wait time was less than five minutes. The hostess greeted us warmly and showed us to our table near the bar area. Our server approached us promptly and took our beverage order. For dinner, we chose the Amar mixed ceviche and the Lomo Saltado. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing. The ceviche is well balanced, with flavors from octopus, fish, squid, mussels, shrimp, corn, and sweet potato blending beautifully. We ordered the Lomo Saltado medium-rare. I’ll admit that a medium cook might bring out a bit more of the beef’s flavor, but even so, it was very tasty and tender. Overall, I give this visit a 7.5 out of 10. It’s a solid choice for a casual outing while still elevating the concept of date night with Peruvian cuisine.

Beautiful atmosphere. Service lacked and food came out cold. Drinks however were delicious. Wouldn’t go out of my way to return
