If I could give Ambli Kitchen + Bar (Belleview location) and especially Becci, their guest experience guide, 10 stars I would! We came to celebrate my Grandma’s 93rd birthday and my Grandparents’ 71st wedding anniversary, and from start to finish, it was unforgettable.
Becci is an absolute firecracker, in the best way. She shared her story with us about why she joined Ambli (the food was so good she just had to be a part of it), and you can feel her passion from the moment she greets you. She’s personable, fun, knowledgeable, and made our entire night so special. The way she explained every dish, gave us tips on how to enjoy it, and her energy at the table...it was the definition of hospitality. Becci didn’t just serve us, she elevated the entire experience.
Now…the food. WOW. When we asked what’s good on the menu, she told us, “Everything.” Bold words, but she wasn’t kidding. Every dish was an explosion of flavor, the kind where you literally close your eyes while chewing because you don’t want the bite to end.
We started with two orders of the Poblano Cornbread (made-to-order, about 15–20 minutes, so you know it’s worth it). It came out warm with pecan butter that was out of this world. My grandpa (who usually calls food like this “too fancy”) went back for seconds, smiling ear to ear, so you know it was a win.
The entrées were jaw-dropping in both portion and flavor. I had the Kabob Bowl with chicken, which came with house-made hummus, a cucumber avocado refresh salad, masala rice, and the garlic lemon oil whip (GO FOR THAT ALONE! It’s insane!). My cousin’s Spicy Ambli Paella was so good I wanted to literally dive into it. My grandpa ordered the Ribeye French Dip, piled high with tender meat, perfectly paired with crispy fries, and jalapeños that had him sweating but smiling the whole time. My grandma had the Carne Asada, and every bite was perfection.
The ambiance was warm, the staff was attentive (water glasses never empty), and the food blew us away, but Becci tied it all together into an experience. She’s the kind of person who makes you want to come back again and again, because she loves what she does and it shows.
Ambli isn’t just food...it’s a memory you’ll talk about for years. LITERALLY RUN, do not walk! I live in Arizona now, but I will come back to Denver just to eat here again.
Thank you, Becci, and thank you to the Chef for what truly felt like an out-of-body dining experience.
