Expect a casual vibe with outstanding quality, unique touches like delicious tomato jam, and a menu that delights but can hit the wallet hard.

Food is mediocre at best and definitely overpriced. $20 for TWO scallops. Salads were bland. Service was slow and food wasn’t served as the menu described. The ambiance is weird…it’s like this restaurant can’t decide who they want to be. One section is rustic, another contemporary, another modern farmhouse style, and last but not least, the kitchen area looks like a 1950’s diner. They up charge for everything. If you have a gluten allergy and ask for gluten free bread, be prepared to pay an extra $3 (even though regular bread is complimentary).

Has become the special spot for my girlfriend and me. They secretly have amazing gluten free pasta and we come to share! The apps are hit or miss (we’ve had their carrot salad and it was great, the octopus was a let down) but the pasta always hits! Not a bad call for brunch too. Cocktails are nice, especially the slightly salty espresso martinis! Their affogato and pistachio soft serve dessert options are a must! Espresso soft serve is tasty but a bit aggressive even for veteran stomachs

I don't often give a five star review but I MUST. If you want something delicious and you are vegan and gluten free as I am, you have to try the vegan tofu bowl. It is out of this world. Because it was crowded, my son and I ate at the bar and our service was excellent. Dakota made sure we were served quickly and he checked in as well as checking on all details relevant to my dietary restrictions. As for the atmosphere, as an artist myself, I love the murals on the wall and the splashes of color and style that are throughout the space.

My husband and I tried to eat at this establishment with our service dog who is trained to detect gluten. We were rudely interrogated about what disability the dog was trained for and when we shared it was celiac disease the woman at the hostess stand insisted that celiac was not a disability covered by the ADA, which is wrong. Even after I explained that I am a lawyer and could report this business, we were refused entry. I don't know what the food is like here, but the staff is misinformed and discriminatory. I have filed complaints with several regulatory bodies to see this addressed.

Fantastic food, service, & staff! Beautiful menu options (that easily worked with my gluten free needs)! You can sit inside or out, and both provide space where you can actually hear and talk freely. Thanks to the Ambrosia staff for being part of our neighborhood! Even if I'm not enjoying an Ambrosia brunch or dinner, you've made me feel safer when walking home just because I know you're there! Cheers to you!

Known for it’s outstanding food, service and atmosphere, JG Skyhigh did not disappoint. Located in the Four Seasons Hotel, it’s the very top and you take an express glass elevator to the top floor. I’m not a fan of heights so I stuck my face in the corner of the elevator and held on until it was over. Greeted by a beautiful lobby and a spectacular view and a seat by the window, my husband and I took it all in. Our server, Alicia was knowledgeable, personable and helpful making gluten free addendums for my husband. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Excellent experience!

Hosted a bachelorette brunch here and I cannot stress enough how perfect it was! The food was impeccable (the French toast and breakfast enchiladas and steak and eggs were the crowd favorites) and the restaurant and decor are totally adorable. They fit our entire reservation of 10 very comfortably and had good options for our vegan and gluten free guests, not just saddling them with salads. And the star of the show was the wait staff who were extremely attentive and friendly and when they found out we were celebrating they even surprised us with a little treat at the end! 11/10 will be my go to for hosting from now on!
