Bottomless Balkan-inspired small plates with lively vibes and swift service; great for groups and celebrations, but expect a strict 2-hour clock and occasional service hiccups.

Our take

Ambar delivers competitive brunch dining with strong food quality highlighted by standout cevapi, halloumi, and hanger steak, plus attentive service that keeps small plates flowing. However, inconsistent execution—occasional cold plates and missed items during peak times—prevents grade A territory, and crowding in the basement space during rushes limits the overall experience. The stylish setting and solid AYCE value make it worth visiting, though reliability varies with volume.

One caveat: Noise gets high near large groups; conversation can be strained
