Our go to pre theater lunch. Perfect as always. We eat fish. The salmon was wonderful, moist and flavorful. The mashed potatoes perfectly smooth, creamy- what a pleasure. The staff greets us like friends! Lunch at Capital Grille makes the day special!

My wife and I wee delighted with the food and service (in that order) at Amada. The wild mushrooms were a special treat, but everything else was delicious. We also enjoyed the shiny informality of the restaurant and the friendly service we received. We will definitely be recommending it to our friends.

Great atmosphere for catching up with a dear friend of two. I love knowing in a cozy inviting place with good drinks and food but not having to shout to communicate. Did not disappoint!

A really great, chill hang if you don't want to eat too much and enjoy some beverages with friends or family. Everyone is super nice, the vibe is cool and if I lived closer I would be there much more often. Unpretentious and tasty small plates.
