"Food was very tasty and flavorful! The waitress was friendly and prompt! And the restaurant was decorated very nicely! They have a very good happy hour, lots to choose from! And there was an oriental dancer as a show during dinner! I love this new location! So much better than the old one was too small! Will go again!"
Agata Ren
"Our favorite spot before they expanded, but now we can enjoy the atmosphere and food, the new spot is beautiful and the food is exceptional as always. Everything on this menu is delicious.
Connor was our waiter and he is amazing as well!"
Georgette Carolini
"We came to Amara’s back when it was in the old location and it was very good then. But how. It’s leveled up. The food is fantastic. Even the cocktails are very good. Service was fast and friendly. We opted for the pre fix menu and it was such a good deal. Ideal for sharing apps and trying lots of different food items. Make sure to make a reservation. Will for sure come back again."
