  Really incredible experience in all aspects! I heard DC loves brunch and I’d never been to one - Bastian was an awesome waiter for our table with recommendations and good vibes!

  Fun spot and great service with so much space! We were able to get in on a Friday night with no reservation. There are 3 floors, with a different vibe on each floor. No elevator, but there’s still an accessible entrance with a ramp. There’s an all you can eat experience for $50 - really good deal. We used inKind to pay, so got a deal with that too - use my referral and you will too: HO75U4TN We ended up doing the a la cart menu but I’d go back to try the unlimited another time!

  Great customer service! Bastion was so sweet and attentive. He was extremely warm, had a mimosa on hand, or was always there with water or anything we needed. More than that though, he was just a lovely human to talk to and he made brunch even that much better. He was so funny, approachable, always in the best mood, such a lovely energy. Highly recco this place, but you should try to come with bastion is there

  We had a wonderful experience at Ambar in Capitol Hill. The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfect for sharing. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the overall atmosphere was vibrant yet welcoming, making it a great spot for both a special night out or a relaxed dinner. What truly made our evening exceptional was our waiter, Melvin. He was attentive, kind, and genuinely warm, making us feel cared for from the moment we sat down. His recommendations were spot-on, his timing was perfect, and he brought such a positive energy to the table. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does, and it made a big difference in our experience. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and a beautiful vibe — we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Melvin, for making lunch date so memorable!

  My sister, mother, and I came to this establishment to celebrate my RN licensure. We were seated at the bar, Sierra was our waitress and she did an amazing job at welcoming us! Orders were taken promptly and bottomless drinks were always refilled at the perfect time. Sierra was friendly, respectful, and engaged quite often! Hospitality was exceptional! My only critique is that some menu items were a bit cold when they got to us. However, servers were nice & accommodating. Overall food & mimosas were excellent, just wasn’t too thrilled with the appetizers! However, I still rate a 5 out of 5. THANK YOU SIERRA‼️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
