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.

I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner. The price per person was between $10 and $20. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5.

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.

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
