AMBAR Restaurant, Clarendon

Usually go for brunch but tried the unlimited dinner for first time in years. Everything is still super tasty, comes out so quick that we all are too fast and got full in the first hour haha. Anna was super nice and attentive. Made sure to check for our one person the gluten free items. Even gave us a special birthday treat for the group. 10/10 would go again. Paid street parking, bathroom downstairs, upstairs has real plants hanging from the ceilings, always cute.

The food for someone who cannot have gluten with cross contamination was decent and there were a couple options. The waiter, Pedja was fantastic knowing what I couldn’t could not eat, fast service and friendly.

Ambar is a very nice upscale restaurant with a delicious menu, specially for Sunday brunch. They have a Gluten free/vegan menu, but our waiter was a bit wary about recommending anything, because, as she said, they do not take any care about mixing/cross-contaminating dishes. I really do not understand why they bother saying they offer gluten free options if there is no effort in separating a bit of the kitchen to make the Gluten Free dishes. The mimosas are nice, but served almost at room temperature. We tried almost all the dishes in the menu, and they are perfect for individual consumption. The tomato soup was excellent. The balkan kebabs were a bit raw for our taste, but everything was nicely presented. The only gluten free dessert is the granola, fruit and yogurt plate without the granola, but it was very nice and refreshing. The restaurant is modern and cute. Fast service. Good prices for the experience. Will visit again.
