Although I've only been to this restaurant 3 times, I've greatly enjoyed the food and ambiance of the room. It's like a beautiful greenhouse and I'll be sad to see it go. Since this is their last week, it was a pleasure to dine here one last time. My boyfriend said he'd especially miss their mozzarella balls and cocktails!

So sorry that Amara will close July 27 for good. This place was a gem! If you haven't gone yet TRY to experience it. We will miss it. A truly unique, delicious and beautiful restaurant in a sea of average and repetitive choices.

I'm going to miss this place and some of their amazing dishes -- especially the ricotta gnocchi, crab and avocado bruschetta, and angry shrimp spiedini. Sophia provided exceptional service for our dinner last night.
