What Iustin Toma doesn't like about ampersand wine bar:
We went on a Friday night. I found the cheese plate to be very good. The eggplant plate was not exactly what I expected, and was more of an appetizer than an entre in my opinion. The Asian sauce on the salmon was good, but the salmon was overcooked. Overall the food was just okay. The vibe was very good. When we arrived, it was early enough that the restaurant wasn't crowded, and we enjoyed the relative quiet. The ro... View all feedback. What OpenTable Diner likes about ampersand wine bar:
We had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed the food and the ambience. The wine was especially amazing! Only issue was that two of the side dishes were way to spicy for us. I was surprised because I had asked the server about spice levels of the main dishes and ordered based on this information (ordering the less spicy dish), and he still didn't say anything when we ordered the spicy side dishes. I realize not everyo... View all feedback.

Ampersand offers a trendy, modern atmosphere with a cozy feel and great service. The food is a flavorful adventure from appetizer to dessert, with unique twists like a spicy Ethiopian broth and a millefeuille dessert that shouldn't be missed. While some dishes were not as expected, overall the food was enjoyable, especially with a hint of spice. The restaurant is perfect for a quiet dinner or a lively night out, with knowledgeable staff and a diverse wine list. Ampersand is not just a great wine bar, but also stands out for their excellent vegetarian options and creative use of seasonal produce. The restaurant received high praise for its varied and skillfully prepared dishes, making it a favorite neighborhood spot for many diners.
