  So this spot had been going viral just a little bit so I wanted to give it a shot when I had the chance and grabbed a friend and we went out there to check it out. It looks like a decent place when you walk in. It looks very well done and they have a little LEGO block theme so that's actually pretty cool. It's a decent free parking restaurant outside the city, but read the review before you make your decision. Got there and it took quite a bit of time to get the waitress's attention and that really threw me off a little bit because I just sat down. The least you can do is come make sure I had water or whatever the case may be. Barrel - so I ordered this because this is the closest thing they had to a razzle dazzle of an old fashioned. It was actually pretty decent. It came in a treasure chest that was smoking so that was cool. Now what's odd is that they can't let you have their treasure chests for too long because they have to limit the supply of them apparently. You will see somebody get it and then they'll wait for you to grab the drink and they'll take it right away. That's really odd. Lychee - now this drink really wasn't my thing but just after a little taste I thought it was decent. It came very well done as far as presentation goes. Biria tacos - the tacos were decent at best. It didn't feel like anything out of pocket was stellar or stand-out but the tacos were decent. They didn't come super hot but they came eventually. If you go to an actual Mexican restaurant, you'll probably definitely get a better situation when it comes to tacos. Usually when you get this type of taco, they give you something on the side to dip it in and you didn't get that at this spot. It wasn't that kind of party. Chicken wings - the chicken wings were okay but nothing to write home about at all. I probably wouldn't bother getting them again but they were decent for what they were. They were really small though so that really kind of threw me off a little bit because I expected either regular size or whole wings or anything along those lines when I order chicken wings. These were the smallest drumettes you could find. Chicken shish - the chicken was actually pretty decent. It was okay. I mean I've been to actual Mediterranean restaurants where it's a whole different story but the chicken was all right. It came with a couple of fingerling potatoes and it came with some vegetables and it was decently well done but nothing crazy about it. Mashed potatoes - So I got the mashed potatoes to the table as well and they came out cold. That really wasn't ideal. They had a little flavor to them so that was good but nobody wants cold potatoes lol Mixed vegetables - it seems odd to say that the grilled vegetables were some of the best that they brought me that day but these vegetables were amazingly flavorful and well done. Now they were kind of soggy so I will say that they were a little bit too tender but the flavor was definitely there. Grilled octopus - Grid Octopus was actually really good. It was one of the best things that I had. It was cooked very well and firm and tender at the same time. It didn't actually need any sauce; it was already pretty well flavorful. Japanese soure - so I purely got this drink just for the extra bells and whistles. It was actually pretty decent. It wasn't amazing but it was a decent sour-like drink. It came smoking gun style so that was cool, which was the reason why I wanted to get it, but I wasn't upset in my decision. Overall this was a pretty good place but it's not great. Nothing really stood out. The chicken was pretty good but I've had better in other actual Mediterranean spots. Having some of the food cold didn't really sit well with me but at the end of the day it still got eaten. The service wasn't stellar but at least the server was nice. I think that it's very trendy but it's not like it's something that'll make or break you if you don't happen to go. It's pretty much just a trending spot because of the optics and because of how picture beautiful it is.

  Listen! This place is the best place EVER! The chicken tacos were well seasoned & the avocado sauce that comes with it is sooo good! I don’t usually like chicken tacos but these def hit different! The hookah was so smooth! No harsh start or anything! The drinks… listen yall the drinks are so smooth! I can taste the liquor BUT it’s not harsh! Definitely got me drunk especially adding the colorful shots lol. Our server was Ashley and she was so knowledgeable about everything on the menu! She was so nice & customer service was A1! I loveeee her! I’m sure all the servers are just as good but I’m bias, Ashley is THEE BEST! Seriously try it!

  Excellent food and even better service! Our server, Nish, was kind, attentive, and made us feel valued as guests. It’s clear Nish takes pride in her work, and it made the entire experience so much more enjoyable.

  I stopped by Bar Amaya for a late-night dinner on a Monday evening and had a great experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, the Mediterranean food was excellent, and Raj provided outstanding service at the bar. I really enjoyed my meal (Fatoush salad with Chicken) and will definitely be back!
