"A fine dining tasting menu restaurant serving a four-course menu with a focus on seafood and charcoal-kissed preparations." - Kat Odell
"Regrettably, the long-promised tasting-menu spot Amado Grill is kaput — at least at Nine Orchard." - Emma Orlow
"The nitty-gritty of the behind-the-scenes agreements aside, that means Amado Grill is caput at Nine Orchard. It’s been a dramatic journey for the opening of this long-promised fine dining restaurant from Mattos, who also owns Estela, Lodi, and Altro Paradiso. At one point, a spokesperson stated that the restaurant’s opening was off, and would be used as extended seating for Corner Bar. But as of earlier this year, a spokesperson confirmed that Amado Grill was back on after all, slated to finally debut this spring." - Emma Orlow
"I've followed Amado Grill’s on-again, off-again development: chef Ignacio Mattos’s long-anticipated fine-dining project at the Nine Orchard Hotel is now set to open in early 2024. After briefly being shelved so the team could "recommit to the success of Corner Bar," the project is back on because the group felt they had the capacity to run it. The 38-seat dining room will serve a four-course tasting menu priced at $125 per person, and Mattos has described the concept as creating different "universes," one inspired by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea to evoke the serenity of diving. The aquatic-themed room is outfitted with plaster walls and upholstered banquettes, was designed by Fernando Santangelo, and features artwork by Harold Ancart. The opening has been forecast for years and drew coverage from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, which called it Mattos’s first "fine dining restaurant." - Emma Orlow
"A tasting-menu restaurant inside a boutique hotel that will serve as an upscale companion to the chef's more casual neighborhood bar, offering a focused, refined multi-course experience." - Alan Sytsma
