Feedback
Two Ames offers a vibrant atmosphere but struggles with food consistency and quality. While some diners rave about the delicious cocktails, grilled halibut, and charming ambiance with live jazz, others lament poorly executed dishes like a $18 goat cheese salad or overcooked burgers. Service is noted as attentive despite the restaurant being short-staffed, yet noise levels can detract from the experience. Overall, patrons appreciate the eclectic seating and varied drink selection, making Two Ames a mixed bag—promising yet often falling short, leaving guests yearning for improvement in their culinary offerings.
We are longtime customers of 2 Ames. This is our first time dining with them this season. The service was quite slow but that is to be understood when new staff are being trained at the start of the season. What is not to be understood is that we were served an arugula salad with bad arugula, comprised of wilted and yellow leaves, and burned naan. More concerning was a dirty restroom at 5:30 pm with dirty sink, floor,, commode and overflowing trash can when the restaurant had just opened at 5pm. And, the light switch fell off the wall leaving exposed wiring. We hope they turn things around.
Great spot for food and drinks after a lively concert at the amp but should stay open later. Also lowkey best poutine in the state Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Charcuterie Board, Oxtail Poutine, Shrimp and Grits Parking space: Plenty of parking
Danny the owner was very welcoming, made us a few phenomenal drinks, and we enjoyed our time there. I was blown away by the coffee. We will definitely be coming back next season! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The drinks are amazing! But the pesto chicken was on the dry side. The steak was better. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Service: Dine in Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
