Amber Rose Restaurant & Catering

Best pot roast hands down! Everything I’ve had here has been very good. Their soups are delicious! (With the exception of the turtle soup… it’s just not my thing lol) but I tried it! Never had sauerkraut the way they make it. Just really good food and the hostess and wait staff are lovely.

Went to dinner here with my fiancé and her side of the family back in August. I never knew there was a German restaurant in the Dayton area, and am slightly ashamed that I didn't learn of it sooner. Food was delicious and well worth its price, and the staff were very understanding and accommodating. Will definitely be eating here again!

I have eaten here before many years ago. I remember the food being much better. The Jaeger schnitzel was way too thick, breading soggy and the mushroom sauce very scant. The cheese was congealed on top of the schnitzel. Spaetzle were ok and really needed salt. And I waited quite a while for the entree and I was there early for dinner

Drove from Springfield.. hoping for a good Golabki (stuffed cabbage) Haven't since my grandma used to make them. Good I ordered the Warsaw Medley instead of just stuffed cabbage. Was disappointed in the stuffed cabbage. Seems it's been sitting heated. Dark in color and dry inside. The sauerkraut was probably the best part of it and the sausage. Service was great! Not worth the drive.

Really nice restaurant. With the combo of countries we had no idea what to expect aside from German food. But it was all very good. The waitstaff was wonderful. Natalie (I believe the name of our waitress) was great. Very attentive. We’re in town for one more night and actually contemplating coming here again for dinner. We’ll see. But I highly recommend Amber Rose!!!

If you're looking for a diamond in the rough, this is it! Eastern European food on point. I had the Hunter Schnitzel and it was so tasty. The Pretzel coating was an added joy to the flavor profile. You'll really enjoy the old world dining experience in this 1910 building. It's an absolute gem. Our server Aimee was a delight and super friendly. I highly recommend this European throwback

I really enjoyed this place. I thought it was a bit under priced. Food was good, service was better. One thing I hate about going out to eat is being limited on my drinks because I have adhd and forget to drink liquids throughout the day. Also if I'm paying $3.00 for a drink I want my money's worth. I didn't have any issues here. She helped me stay hydrated. I know it's a small detail but I also really liked the clear to go containers. I go out alot and it's nice to be able to tell what's what in the fridge.

Good food actually. The menu is not as big as it used to be but still a good selection. The Hungarian chicken paprika was good, just needed salt and pepper. Well and more paprika but that's... The Warsaw plate was really good overall. One thing please - don't put the check down without us asking for it or you asking us for dessert or how the food tastes. Also: DON'T TAKE OUR PLATE WHILE WE ARE STILL EATING PLEASE... That was funny for a moment but should truly NOT happen. Food 4 stars, service 0.5 Really wanted dessert but we were not asked and I did not see the menu again either.

A Must-Visit Gem in Downtown Dayton! Had lunch yesterday at The Amber Rose with four incredibly badass human beings from Dayton's real estate world, and let me just say--this place did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of old-world charm. The food? Outstanding. A few in our group had the famous cabbage rolls (which clearly live up to their stellar reputation across the Miami Valley), and I went with the Hunter Schnitzel... which was on freaking believable. Perfectly cooked, richly flavorful, and left me planning my next visit before I even left the table. But the real highlight? The exceptional service--delivered by none other than my beautiful first cousin, Emily Wendling! She brought both warmth and professionalism to the table and made our entire experience even more memorable. If you're looking for top-notch food, unforgettable hospitality, and a Dayton spot that gets it right, look no further than The Amber Rose. And when you go, be sure to ask for Emily--you will not regret it.

We love finding hidden gems like Amber Rose. This restaurant was a trip back to family-run restaurants of the past. It has a rustic, warm, and welcoming ambiance and decor in an old two-story structure (formerly a neighborhood market) in an Old North Dayton neighborhood. Elinor's turtle soup is very good, with just the right amount of turtle and proper spices. As an appetizer, we ordered the sauerkraut balls, which were perfectly prepared and served with a spicy mustard and horseradish sauce. We ordered the Amber Rose Sampler appetizer as a shared entree to get a variety of food to sample. The sampler included an outstanding bratwurst that is housemade, marinated in red wine overnight, oven-baked in the wine, and then grilled (we took a few uncooked bratwurst home with us). The homemade sauerkraut with bacon and sesame seeds is excellent. The cabbage roll was more meat than rice on the inside which was great. More sauce would have made it even better. The only miss was over cooked potato pancake. The bread pudding is wonderful - don't miss it! Our server was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Support these iconic restaurants - don't let them slip away.

Really nice restaurant. Found this on Yelp of course. With the combo of countries we had no idea what to expect aside from German food. It was all very good. The waitstaff was wonderful. Natalie (I believe the name of our waitress) was great. Very attentive. We're in town for one more night and actually contemplating coming here again for dinner. We'll see. But I highly recommend Amber Rose!!!

For some good, "stick to your ribs," E. European comfort food, this hidden gem is the place to go!! The Mr. and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here YEARS ago, and I just revisited with a couple of friends a few weekends ago and was equally charmed by the cozy feel of the dining space and the tasty, eclectic, "not what you get at every other place in town" menu!! I'd recommmend trying one of the several "sampler plate" options. Great stuff, a little bit of everything, though not much if you're vegetarian. Come hungry, leave FULL!!!

Charming spot in a lovely old house in the Dayton suburbs. A short drive from the USAF museum and we'll worth it. They offer a nice selection of eastern European dishes as well as American classics like the cheeseburger. I highly recommend the Warsaw Medly. Nice selection of wines and draft and bottled beers. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service was quick and friendly.

Ate here based on a friend's recommendation. WOW--what a gem ! Not located in the best of neighborhoods, but don't let that fool ya. We started with the sauerkraut balls that had a mustard and horseradish cream sauce. They were terrific. I didn't think I would like turtle soup since the last time I had it was about 50 years ago (mock turtle soup made locally) but theirs was WONDERFUL and I loved it. My wife had a cabbage roll and I had the Hunter schnitzel. I enjoyed them both. We had to take some leftovers home, but we ordered a piece of Black Forest cake for dessert. Generous portion and a superb ending to the meal--we had to take some of that home, too. Service by Aimee was friendly and very attentive. We hope to return again and try some other dishes, maybe the sauerbraten or the sausage sampler.

Perogies we're very good and beef on weck was shaved prime rib oh so good. Server was good right on time.

We've been here a few times, I usually order the cabbage rolls, which I really enjoy. I also like to get the potato pancakes, even though they're not exactly like the ones I would get as a child. We all enjoy the atmosphere there, the staff has always treated us well, once they even gave us a tour of the upstairs to talk about the ghost! My daughter really enjoyed the turtle soup a lot the last time we went. The stuffed mushrooms are top notch!

First time here, food was awesome my wife and I tried the pierogi, loaded potato pancakes and sauerkraut balls. We had cabbage rolls and I had a Hungarian dish chicken Paprikas Excellent service water glass always full. This place was a store/deli back in the day. Beautiful architecture it was a great experience.

We went for their Mother's Day brunch and enjoyed a lovely buffet spread! The waitstaff was super kind and the building itself is very pretty.

This is a charming old school restaurant that evokes the Eastern European enclaves in New York. I've even been to Eastern Europe- quite a while ago, but I'm confident in calling this place authentic. The building is old and well preserved with an interesting history. Tin ceilings, classic hanging lights, lots of dark wood, stained glass. We came late in the lunch time. Service was top notch. Food came quickly and it was all fabulous. They offer turtle soup, which my husband (who is Polish from Milwaukee) loves. He chose a cup in lieu of salad and gave it high marks. In fact he ordered a bowl to take home too. Between us we had potato pancakes, stuffed mushrooms (no breadcrumbs!), Beef Stroganoff, and the Warsaw Medley which included pierogies, stuffed cabbage, a sausage link, and probably the best sauerkraut I've ever tasted. Very different from typical style, and not at all "sour." We loved every bite of every dish. OK, I admit I took home an order of potato pancakes too. Good sized parking lot. Discount for paying cash. Bathroom was sparkling clean. This is the only restaurant of its kind that I've found within 40 miles of my home base (Scary, right?) so I'm pretty ecstatic to find it and that it is SO GOOD. So will I gladly drive 60 miles RT for these pierogies and potato pancakes? You bet, and I hope to do so again real soon.

We love it here! Beef stroganoff was delicious, and they have European beers and wine as well. Hunter schnitzel and jaeger schnitzel were also great. Even a very picky eater dining with us liked the potato soup. Potato pancakes were a little too crispy for me, but we'll be back! Cool vintage atmosphere too with an antique bar and antique patterned ceiling.

Such a cool, old place. It's definitely worth the trip to old north Dayton. If you're a polish food lover, this is a great place to give a try. My polish grandparents loved this place and would frequent it often in their day. We started with their sauerkraut balls for an appetizer. They were so yummy! We both went for the Warsaw Medley as our main. It's amazing. You get so much food and get to try a little bit of everything, including cabbage roll, polish sausage, pierogis, and some killer sauerkraut. Our waitress was top notch all evening. We left stuffed but with lots of left overs for the next day. My only stupid complaint is I wish they had more desserts, maybe some cream puffs (such Schmidt's in Columbus) or German Chocolate cake, perhaps? But overall, great meal!

AlLocated in a downtown Dayton suburb, this German restaurant is a bit of a throwback, but fun ambience and good food and service.

Amber Rose Favorite Central Eastern Restaurant Located on Valley in Old North Dayton Best Turtle Soup in area, and do order by the bowl Meal: Hunter Schnitzel - very large schnitzel portion, great potato pancake, and sweet sauerkraut. Add a Pilsner Urquell for great dining. Server is excellent in a busy restaurant. Amber Rose reminds us of our visits to Prague restaurants.

This is a restaurant that does european/german food and it's inside of a house in Dayton. I think they also do catering. So I think that the food was very straightforward and I didn't expect anything too different. But some of the food was strange. For example the house salad with caesar dressing wasn't very good. It felt like the taste was off somehow - it felt like the dressing was too much on the side of sweet/sour rather than salty. I'm not sure, but dressing was just off to me. The cherry tomatoes didn't have very much flavor either. I got the sausage sampler for $19. The sausages were OK. One of them was kind of chewy and I didn't enjoy it that much. The other ones were decent. They were grilled and well heated up. But my guess is that I don't think they're making them in house, they are just buying them and serving them. Sauerkraut was OK. Location had some signs of wear and tear. The plates were a bit old and showed dark marks from years of wear and tear. On the bright side the service was very nice and very fast. They were very friendly.

Great food and service! I've been three times and everything is amazing. We have loved everything even the chicken Paprikas!

This was such a cute spot! Parking was plentiful. Everything was delicious. The pierogies were to die for. Everything about our meal was perfect!

Service was great along with the ambience. And the food was outstanding! There ain't many places that offer this type of food and it was mouth watering to say the least. Turtle soup was excellent along with the stuffed cabbage, homemade sausage, pierogies, and sauerkraut. I tasted the chicken paprikash too. Delish!!

Three of us dining on Saturday. They open at 4 and we arrived early. We waited in our car in the parking lot and watched several cars arrive early too. Ordered pierogi and stuffed mushroom appetizers. They had a special St Patrick's Day menu. We ordered Rueben chowder. Chowder was just okay. My stuffed cabbage came with mashed potatoes and I substituted sauerkraut for the vegetable. All very good. Also we ordered Warsaw Platter. Outstanding and a lot of food. Our server Emily was attentive and service was very good. I highly recommend this ethnic restaurant. Small restaurant with lots of charm

Great food with a quaint atmosphere. I loved the cabbage roll and the mashed potatoes. Delicious sauerkraut balls and pierogies. Service was fantastic.

An experience that I thoroughly enjoyed! The place is well decorated and the staff were charming. The food brought me back to my favorite places in the world!

Family of 9 dinner after Airforce Museum. Food and service were excellent. We ordered Jaeger Snitzel, Pot Roast, Sausage, Beef over noodles. All were great. Our waitress did an amazing job with the children.

The food was exceptional. Service spot on. Has European character. The sauerkraut was delicious.

Went for my 65th birthday, extremely disappointed. Was seated by the bar. My wife ordered the jagerschnitzle. Bland and tasteless. Spatzel was overcooked and starchy. I h ad the grilled saurbraten. It was the worst meal I've ever had. The juniper berry flavor overpowered everything. I had that taste in my mouth for the whole next day. This is definitely a one and done establishment. I will NEVER waste my money in this restaurant again.

Excellent food and great food service. The Hungarian food is amazing. I would recommend it to my family and friends.

We had a wonderful meal tonight at Amber Rose. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. Samantha was our server, so patient and attentive. She made the meal most enjoyable. We had sauerkraut balls for an appetizer. 5 large pieces with a horseradish and mustard sauce. Highly recommend! For dinner, we had the Warsaw plate (cabbage roll, sausage, sauerkraut and pirogies) and the Jagerschnitzel. Would recommend both entrees. Well seasoned and generous portions.

The waitress was so enjoyable. I wish I knew her name. This young girl held conversations with us two senior ladies. The food and proportions were generous. We'll definitely be back. If you order the sampler you need not order anything else. love the ambiance

Coworkers selected this place to try after a day of work. They have a fairly large parking lot. I showed up late and just ordered a beer. Coworkers got both food and drinks. Their food looked good and no one complained. I did look at a menu. Definitely pricey in my book...and so goes my single beer price too. Nice staff and a pleasant place to try. I probably won't come back here, not because of the food or drinks but because I just want more for my money.

We went a few years ago but the food was really good but the bread pudding desert they had was the best desert I have ever had in my life.

Three sausage sampler and added a Lithuanian cabbage roll...lots of flavor, absolutely delicious! My wife ordered the traditional Rueben with pub fries. Highly recommend!

Plenty of food, great people. Don't let the building fool you. It's always on my must stop list when I travel close by.

The food was just like grandma use to make. The service was excellent! The ambiance was Olde World within a house. They do have a small bar within the premises. Also, if you like Potato Pancakes, you've got to try theirs-EXCELLENT!!! It was an enjoyable meal in a nice atmosphere.

Went there on 06 AUG 2024 for my birthday dinner and it was fantastic! Ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer but it turned out that the kitchen was out of the mushrooms and Chef (and Waitress) sent their regrets. So, we ordered the always good pretzels and bier cheese instead when lo and behold, stuffed mushrooms appeared on our table anyway! Did Chef run to the store??? AND we got the pretzels and bier cheese complimentary from the kitchen as an apology for seemingly being out of the 'shrooms! The whole thing was wonderful and adorable! Hubby had the Chicken Paprikash and I had the Hunter (Pork) Schnitzel and both were gr eat in our opinions! I did substitute the slightly sweet, very creamy cole slaw because I don't like sauerkraut. The potato pancake was also very good (although MAYBE a tiny bit too brown/well done on the outside for me? But then again, I am not Chef nor am I in charge, lol), I just wish there had been more of them! Dessert was a chocolate sundae w/a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie! Our waitress was sweet and wonderful and I wish I remembered her name but hopefully she'll remember us from the "shroom/pretzel incident," lol! 5 stars all-around, can't wait to go back!

Getting into the Amber Rose Restaurant on a Friday night we found the restaurant was not really busy. The guest room had an old style appearance and service was friendly. All publically accessible facilities were clean. Kitchen personnell though was roaming about the guest room and even cleaning or sorting silverware at the bar. Unfortunately the food as of our impression was far from what is advertised. Knowing German food very well we had the typical German dishes the retaurant had on offer. I have the following findings that reflect our experience on that specific day of service. - The food was mostly luke warm - The spätzle were doughy, probably not enough eggs used and/or undercooked. - Everything was covered with heavy gravy, even the breaded veal Schnitzel which is a big No-No in German cooking. Looking at these shortcomings a dish price of around USD 20 seems far too high in our view. Chef Ramsey would have a meltdown

I love amber rose. We come here a few times a year. The food is always tasty and the bread pudding is next level. Good beer on tap and good service. Transitional neighborhood but it's a real cool place. Old butcher shop. Legit!

We enjoy this unique restaurant. I have been coming here once a year or so as far back as I can remember. The portions are huge and the care in the preparation is obvious. I had never ordered their famous turtle soup and after enjoying it I wished I had tried it years ago. I only wish it was a little warmer but it was gone before I could ask the waitress to heat it further. I also ordered the Warsaw medley and it was a great tour of Eastern Europe. My wife got the Hunter Schnitzel, which I have ordered many times before. Her potato cakes were a smidge overdone but not too much to deter from enjoying. Two of my kids git humungous burgers and they devoured them in short order. My two youngest got pasta and a man-sized grilled cheese. Surprisingly, the best things about the kid's meals was the scratch made applesauce - delish!

Cabbage rolls just like my Hungarian Great Gandma used to make. I'm so pleased my husband found this place for me. I'll be coming back again and again.

Love the food, great service, nice atmosphere. We have gone several times, and always take visiting family to Amber Rose. Definitely recommend!

Gave me my German fix. Great atmosphere for an early Saturday dinner. Got the pierogies for an appetizer and the Jägerschnitzel. Everything was delicious and the waitress was very friendly. My wife got the Hunter Schnitzel. She really liked the potato pancake and sauerkraut but was only mildly impressed with the potato crusted pork. I personally thought it was really good and brought the leftovers home for lunch the next day. Waitress recommended the cheesecake which is made for them. Slice was large and perfect for us to split. It was also really good.

This is a quaint restaurant in the heart of Dayton. It definitely has a German/Polish feel. When you walk into the restaurant, it seems little dark or old - but it has this antique feel about it. There are beautiful stained glass windows surrounding the front entrance. You are welcome by an old cash register on an old fashioned desk at the front of the restaurant. Dayton is known for being the home of inventions -- and the cash register was one of their most well known inventions. The salad that was ordered was humongous. It fed two of us (and I don't think we even finished it). I loved the vinegarette dressing. It had lots of ham and turkey on it, as well as some hard boiled eggs. I also ordered a turkey sandwich with bacon. It was dry -- but I was able to get mayonnaise once I requested it. It came with chips. In talking to others who attended the restaurant, they are known for their polish dishes -- stuffed peppers with sauerkraut. They do have some old pictures throughout the restaurant of immigrants and to show their Polish history. Next time I go, I'd probably aim to choose something they are famous for -- but overall, large helpings and a nice restaurant.

We had a fantastic night at The Amber Rose. The ambience, the staff and the food were all amazing. The stuffed mushrooms and the Hunter Schnitzel are not to be missed. Special thanks to the owner, Joe, for being a great host. This restaurant is not to be missed!

So glad to see they are keeping the highest standard of fine high quality meals. The main reason for my update is - Pierogi & Onions appetizer!!!! I am not sure how I missed this on my previous visits, but without a doubt, they are the best pierogi's that I have ever had!!!! Seriously, sautéed in brown butter and oh-so-sweet caramelized onions are to die for!!!! I could not remember what I liked more, Jager or Hunter Schnitzel, thus, I ordered both! See my pics, I ordered extra 'shroom sauce and extra Dijon cream sauce, she even brought a bowl of the Hunter sauce ---- I actually spread it on both the Jager and Hunter Schnitzel. So good, my vote goes with Hunter - I will have to remember that the next time I visit, because I am miserable! My dinner guest had the Lithuanian Cabbage Roll and the Chicken Paprikash, he raved about both! My night wouldn't be complete without the owner stopping by to say hello. Another awesome experience!

Great food and great service. All old recipes from the old land. Wonderful Would recommend to anybody.

It's difficult to find decent Hungarian food these days, yet Amber Rose saves the day with their amazing selection of Eastern European classics! My experience was spectacular to say the least!

Such wonder comfort food! We started with the Amber Rose Sampler so we could try a variety of different menu items so glad we did! Enjoyed everything especially the brat and homemade sauerkraut. I ordered the Hungarian Chicken Paprikas, I highly recommend! I was ready to lick the bowl. The portion is huge so you can share or take home. My hubby got the Three Sausage Sampler (hee hee, insert adult jokes) and was happy with his dish. Then desserts, I got the German chocolate cake, was okay. Overall service was excellent and our sever was very knowledgeable about the dishes and make wonderful recommendations. Will be back!

A hidden gem in Dayton, OH. Food was delicious, great parking, we are definitely going back to sample more deliciousness off their menu...I wanted to try everything- left there w lunch for tomorrow and quite full !

This restaurant's menu is unique and excellent. The atmosphere is very quaint and pleasant, and people are able to hold conversations with other tables' patrons if desired. The staff are devoted to their craft, and the chefs are highly skilled.

A very cute family restaurant with charming curved booths, vintage tin ceilings, a handsome bar and other vintage touches like and old counting machine at the hosted table. If you share an appetizer and dessert with coffee price is about 70 for dinner for two. Meals all sounded tasty but my boyfriend and I both chose the jäger schnitzel. Sausage ball appetizer was very very good. The bread pudding dessert was amazing. It had almonds on top. Had almond extract or amaretto in the flavors. And I believe had cherries instead of raisins. Their coffee is strong. The jäger schnitzel was tender and juicy. The sauce was rich. The spaetzels were a little over spiced to my taste but also good. We'd come back if we are in the area again.
