We visited Amara for lunch during Restaurant Week and were pleasantly surprised by the value they offered. Unlike some other restaurants, Amara truly lived up to our expectations. Our meal choices were outstanding, the portions were generous, and the food was delicious! Additionally, the staff was incredibly helpful, polite, and friendly. We will certainly be returning.

We visited for Restaurant Week and found the food service a bit disorganized. Our appetizer and salad arrived before our drinks, and the main course was served much later than we anticipated. However, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

This is a lovely restaurant, perfect for couples or families, although it is a bit on the expensive side. They offer a great selection of wines, a diverse menu, and excellent service.
