I have been wanting to get to Amada for a while. It was really a nice experience. My wait staff person was really helpful - recommended a great wine and what he liked on the menu. Service overall was excellent. The recommended wine as really enjoyable - just what my palate enjoys. The food was Scrumptious - i loved the rellenos and the patatas. Had a few bites of the basque cheesecake and then had to wrap it for home. I will come back and bring a friend or two.

Best burger I ever had! Service was quick easy and kind. They gave me a candle in the dessert for my birthday with a nice handwritten happy birthday card. I’d recommend and I’d go back!

We had a lovely pre-theater meal! The food and service were great, and everything was timed perfectly so we could enjoy our meal and still make it to the theater on time. Highly recommend!
