14 Places to Find Tapas in Denver and Boulder | Eater Denver

"Ambli has two locations — in DTC and on Holly — so getting a tapas fix has never been easier. Basing the menu on global flavors, options range from Portuguese garlic shrimp to a pasilla ribeye, but almost everything is designed to be shared. Note: Ambli Holly is closing temporarily and will relaunch in the new year with a full Mexican menu." - Rebecca Treon

The fruit bowl isn't on the menu (at least not yet). My wife wanted some fruit after the meal, like we were accustomed to in Greece. While the bowl you see is already half eaten (the fruit was extremely fresh and well prepared), it speaks to the "extra mile that this establishment is willing to go for service. Water glasses were always full. The server circled round with a reasonable frequency. The silverware was replaced with each course. The tabletop was kept clean. The menu is designed with plates to be shared. This is a social restaurant. It's a bit loud (even for the U.S.), but the food was very good and the service very strong.

From the moment we stepped into Ambli to when we left, we were attended to and taken care of. I made a reservation for a family birthday dinner but preferred their Happy Hour menu. The hostess still seated us in the main dining and offered the HH items. The feel of Ambli casual, yet elegant. Lots of light and space to gather. Our server, John was amazing! He offered suggestions and brought the items out a couple at a time so that we were able to pace ourselves. We tried lots of HH items like the pani puri puffed pastries with a lentil filling. The lobster shooters were fun and delish! The ahi tuna roll was melt in your mouth and the kebob was soft and flavorful. My favorite was the rellano tacos! Everything was so tasty and delicious! We'll definitely be back to try more! At the end, they brought out a special birthday treat and even gave a birthday card to my husband, whose birthday we were celebrating! Overall a great experience. We were treated so well! We'll be back for sure!

Got the tasting. Started off with the Pani Puri and the salad. Pani was decent but the salad was incredible! Yum yum yum! Next was the Chilean Seabass entree - recommended by my server - sooooo tasty! Loved every bite! I was underwhelmed with the dessert options from the tasting menu so I opted for the peanut butter mousse from the main menu. I picked over it because there was a lot going on. Not my favorite but the food outshined the dessert so I left happy! First time at this location. A huge fan of the location in Colorado Springs! Will be back!

Great food, some of the best in Denver! Flavors are paired wonderfully, service was outstanding and the whole experience was better than you could expect. Definitely worth trying and seeing for yourself. Only thing I would change is that they offered lattes/cappuccinos to finish off the meal. Would be a great addition to the drink selection with dessert.

Every time we show up here we are amazed there isn’t a line down the block. There should be! The food is killer, service is top notch and it has that neighborhood feel. The staff knows the food on the menu inside and out and you will get wonderfully different suggestions depending on who you talk to! The raspberry lemondrop is outstanding. We came back because of the loving feel you get when you walk through the door. There hasn’t been a time we have been there when we weren’t asked “how is the food” and they actually mean it!

Great dining experience with wonderful food and ambience. We ordered the winter feast, and couldn’t eat all of the main course. Asked staff to box it up and didn’t get it at end of the meal. We were pleasantly full and forgot to ask, but considering we did ask for it to be boxed at the end of the course, it should be done by staff. Everything else was delicious and fun experience to engage in.

Took my wife here for date night on Tuesday :) Here’s a glowing review for Doug: We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Doug at Ambli, and I can’t say enough great things about the experience! From the moment we sat down, Doug made us feel welcome and taken care of with his warm and attentive service. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, offering thoughtful recommendations that perfectly matched what we were looking for. Doug’s timing was impeccable—always present when we needed him but never intrusive. He struck that perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, making the evening feel special and personal. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and every interaction felt genuinely heartfelt. It’s rare to find someone who is not just great at their job but truly elevates the entire dining experience. Doug is a gem, and Ambli is lucky to have him! We’ll definitely be back and will be requesting Doug again. Highly recommend.

If I could crush on Ambli every second of my life, I would be useless but utterly happy and forever in bliss. I love love love and love this spot more than dessert itself. Staff is impeccable with their friendly smiles and warmth, attentive service and stellar culinary knowledge. Pritza embodies everything about Ambli. She is the epitome of a restaurateur but also the most inviting gracious host. She remembers details about guests and you feel like you want to sit and chat with her for hours. I can rave forever about their happy hour as well as the dinner menu. I love the rotating selection of bites and cocktails. This is the one place that converted me to a gin lover with their drink. Recently had the raspberry lemon drop (prefer the sugar rim versus the salt version) and their lychee margarita martini. YES!!!! There is a drink goddess who created this for us thirty mortals. Everything is made to share so play nice. It is almost a requirement that one must make the quintessential order of the lobster shooter. It is phenomenal. Period. The spicy tuna crispy rice, Indian trio and the lamb kebabs are incredible starters or perfect if you're not wanting one specific entree. My recent favorite is the Thai croquettes (I may be bias). The texture and taste of toasted coconut and sambal with goodness that you can't stop smiling or wanting a second order. Not too spicy , just the right balance of flavor. The entree that stole my heart is the Chilean sea bass. Ooeemmggee I can't get enough of this. There's broccoli, petite potatoes and savory tomatoes and a sauce I want to lick the bowl like an uncivilized foodie. The fish is cooked to perfection and just melts into your tastebuds. I am also a fan of the filet mignon roulade but I forego the blue cheese plantain due to my allergy to the cheese. I do have soft spot for Ambli. It was the starting point of my love story and we make a point to always come as often as we can, for business lunches, gathering of our happy circle, and date nights. I'm pretty sure this is a forever thing with Ambli. Come and you'll see why you will crush hard.

The skinny: A gem of a place in DTC. Delicious, inventive, fresh food and cocktails with the friendliest of staff. Overview: Came here before a concert at Fiddler's based on a friend's suggestion. And we are so glad we listened. What a hidden gem in DTC ! We were surprised by both the variety and ingenuity of the menu, the freshness of the cocktails, and how friendly every single staff member was. The ambiance was very chic and high end as well. The food/drink: There honestly wasn't a single thing on the menu that didn't look good and every single item we ordered was delicious. Standouts were: - Lobster dumpling shooters in the yummiest red curry sauce - a perfect little starter - Crab cakes with charred kale which was the surprising crunchy combo I never knew I needed. And the portion was sizable. - Lamb lollipops with lamb ragu and hummus. This was some of the best lamb I've had in Denver. Tender, juicy, balanaced. Just perfect. - Raspberry lemondrop cocktail: did you know they make all their purees and juices in house? And the quality and attention to detail shows. This cocktail was delicious - so much we had to get 2 each. Service: Finally, I have to give a call out to the service. Every single member of the staff was beyond friendly. The waiter, the staff that folded our napkins, the servers, and the manager. Everyone came to check in on us with a huge smile and friendly convo in a way that showed they cared and was not at all overbearing. Would I come again: I don't venture out to DTC much but Ambli has me rethinking this. I'll def be back soon!

I don't usually make it down south but I had a concert at Fiddlers Green so we decided to do dinner beforehand and boy, what a treat. Every staff member was seriously so friendly from the get go. The inside is truly beautiful and they have a huge bar. The menu is smaller but fire. We started with the raspberry lemon drops which they juice raspberries IN HOUSE to make this. It was perfect! Not too sweet which I really appreciated. Every food item we got was phenomenal! Perfectly seasoned and obviously made with love. (1) Lobster shooter: Wow. Lobster inside a dumpling with a coconut curry sauce. I could (and did) drink a cup of that curry sauce. It was seriously the perfect sauce and perfectly paired with the lobster. Insanely delicious (2) Beets and burrata: don't snooze on this. Every single component was intentional. The shaved apple, the nuts, HUGE pieces of burrata. Wow (3) Lollipop Lamp: balsamic glaze, pomegranate seeds, hummus WITH a meat ragu and homemade naan. Cooked to perfection. (4) Crab cake: bottom layer was esquites (you have no idea how much you'll love this), next layer was fried kale, next the crab cake. All in a tomato bisque. I really didn't think I would like the bisque but this chef KNOWS their stuff because the seasoning made it literally perfect. The fried kale paired so well. I was genuinely impressed. Hats off to this chef. Just insanely perfect. They change their menu often so hurry to try these dishes. They also mentioned they do wine dinners which if I lived down south, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Thanks for welcoming us and making our evening truly great! And thanks to our server (I'm so sorry I can't remember your name) but, you rocked!

This place is PRICEY and they're stingy with their naan but if you're looking for a more eclectic, upscale restaurant, it's great I suppose. Also, their "happy hour" only applies to their bar area... so no happy hour for you if you're in the dining area. What are they? An upscale downtown establishment? No. It's DTC and they should get over themselves IMHO

This place really is fantastic. Tried a variety of items this time and it was good. - lobster shooters: def too big to take in one swallow (that's what she said), so we cut them in half and enjoyed. I am not much of a fan of coconut and there was a lot of that in this dish. I still enjoyed it even with my dislike of coconut. But I would not order again. - crispy rice with tuna: by far my favorite thing we ordered. I could eat so many of these and be happy. Would come back and order again and again. - Birria tacos: meh, they're ok. Pass. - sliders: quite large and a messy delight. We can make a mean wagyu burger at home and so these were just ok compared to that.

Great food, a varied menu of small plates and entrees. Wine list was a little pricey for mediocre options, $23 for a 6 ounce glass of Prisoner? Ambience was nice, Service was attentive. I would definitely come back, the food was top notch.

They changed the menu set up and am so excited to share our experience!! as always Ambli has done themselves with exceptional food, ambience, and service! Lots of veggie options were the first to stand out on the new menu. Pani puri delicious and perfectly spiced, fantastic presentation Crudo. Refreshing full of perfectly chopped fruit, and for thinly wrapped pieces of tuna danced in our mouths Beef Tetelas. 4 filling beautifully plated "amazing" empanadas. Taco duo. Tiny and memorable! Tour of India. Again, beautifully presented and incredibly tasteful! Lobster tikka masala was incredible as was the kuku pakka. Naan was freshly homemade and absolutely perfect. Our mock tails and cocktails were delicious as we both had two and cannot wait to come back to experience more of this new menu!!

Outstanding family-owned restaurant. They have sushi, Indian, Mexican and other cuisine. Doug is basically the floor manager and Derek is a bartender, both are awsome to interact with any night of the week. Happy Hour has great prices and can give you a glimpse into the main menu. There is a location in Colorado Springs as well.

Service is always impeccable and I love the ambience of this place! Food and drinks are overpriced. $16 for two street sized appetizer tacos. We had to order bread separately from the burrata as it came with nothing to actually put the burrata on. All in all, I like the food but, would only recommend coming here during happy hour.

Finally a restaurant in the suburbs that takes service and food seriously. Our server was great, I haven't seen customer service like this in a long time. Now for food: lamb chops which my friend said was amazing, but I had two vegetarian dishes cauliflower tempura roll, and an Indian masala pancake. Great flavors! For dessert we shared a cheesecake it was huge but light, not too sweet, you can tell they use high quality ingredients. All in all very nice place, I give it 4.5 stars! Compliments to the chefs.

We came back here for dinner with friends who are huge fans of Ambli. I have to say our experience was better than our previous review indicates. We feasted on the starter plates and enjoyed every one of them. We did not get any entrées. Service was fine. There was an apparent pellet or BB hole in the window facing Bellevue right above our table, but aside from that, the ambience was very nice. It was rather expensive.

Wow! I had the blackberry lemon drop cocktail! It was very good and pretty too! The spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer is a must! The tuna is fresh and the little pillows of crispy rice are so so good. They pair really nicely. The Portuguese Prawns are in a savory sauce that hits all the buttons. Highly recommend! Lastly the short ribs are in a beautifully flavorful Korean glaze. They were fork tender. The ribs were on a fresh bed of fried rice with purple carrots, cauliflower mixed in and lightly flavored that went so well with the ribs. I definitely will be back. I honestly don't think anything would fail to impress in any dish offer here. The owner came to greet us and was very kind and welcoming. Doug our server was engaging, informative and attentive. Excellent service, ambiance and location.

What a beautiful spot! In the heart of Greenwood Village is this very special restaurant! Incredibly delicious cocktails started the dinner and we ordered a number of tapas. We loved the lobster shooters and the crispy spicy tuna! The service was impeccable and we felt very well cared for. Our friends ordered a combination platter with what they said with some of the best steak they've ever had and fantastic pineapple/garlic chicken. We had the Asian style lemon grass coconut milk chicken, and it was super delicious! for dessert, we couldn't decide so we ordered the churros that were stuffed with caramel and served in a shot glass of chocolate sauce. Pure decadence! We also ordered the Oreo cookie ice cream cake, and although I didn't try that because I'm not a big fan of ice cream, the rest of the table thought that it was off the charts great! You'll definitely need reservations for this place. We went early and it was super packed by the time we left. What a great find while in Denver!

First let me just start with... Ambli is locally owned by 2 amazing women! I have been going to Ambli since they opened their first location at Leetsdale and Holly over 10 years ago. Kelli and Pariza go over the top to ensure you have a great experience. Pariza is constantly updating the menu with fresh, new and creative dishes. Last night we went to check out their new tasting menu, which was a delight to the palate. The drink menu is extensive and their mocktails are spot on. This place is great for gathering with friends and family. Super cozy and not too loud. Thanks Ambli for a wonderful dinner experience, we will be back!

The service at Ambli was fantastic! The ambiance of the place was so cool and I really liked the vibe. It felt like an upscale restaurant but you could dress casually. The attention to detail and flavors of the food were stupendous! Would highly recommend this place if you're looking to have snazzy cocktails and a good time with friends.

My husband and I have been going to Ambli Global now and again for many years, since the original was on Leetsdale. We visited again yesterday, after a long gap, and the only changes were good ones (we remember some of the staff from years ago). The decor and vibe are just elegant. Everything fits from the counter height of the bar stools to the spacing of the chairs and tables. The lighting and curtains create a romantic vibe. Now to the food, we ate several items from the happy hour menu: Pani Puri, Lobster Shooters, Tuna Crispy Rice, Labneh Dip and the Chicken Kabob. All of the food was delicious, but our favorite was the Labneh Dip with the heavenly naan bread, and a great bottle of Spanish Alberino topped it all off. The only thing missing was seeing Pariza, but it's wonderful that her charming father was still there greeting guests and making sure everyone felt cared for. Hats off to the recent accolades for Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the US.

We love this place for date night!! The food is outstanding, well balanced, complex and soooo satisfying. The ambiance is romantic, sheer but also laid back. It is locally owned and we have had the pleasure of chatting with the sister who gave great recommendations, spoke with the owner, and have had the most warm welcome from their father who greets guests. We have come several times and the wait staff and bartenders give the best recommendations and service. I can't recommend this place enough!!

Ambli DTC had been closed for a LONG time. As a matter of fact, it had been closed for a good amount of time even after the peak COVID period had been long gone. One of the newsletters I had received from Belleview Station said it finally reopened; this was not too long ago. Since then Ambli had been on my mind and finally today, I came here with my daughter on a quiet Tuesday night in early October of 2023. Ambli, it's so good to have you back!! We got a nice two seater table in the lounge. A beautifully dimmed light made the ambiance so inviting and comfortable. The young man at the reception and our waiter were very welcoming and attentive. They were well-dressed in black...I appreciated their impeccable professionalism. We went with zero proof tonight. The non-alcoholic gin tasted exactly like the same as alcoholic gin. I got the grapefruit and my daughter got lychee. There is one more flavor which is pineapple. I truly hope that they'll expand more on the zero proof side. My suggestion is that they add a cucumber flavored cocktail. We were pretty impressed with the food we ordered. Indian Trio (hopefully that is the name for it) had 3 different kinds of items and each one came with 2 pieces (so 6 pieces total.) The sauce that accompanied them made the whole dish so delightfully delicious. And Kuku Paka! This dish ($30) comes in this large plate that's big enough to feed two adults easily and this stole the show! The chicken pieces in the creamy coconut curry, the generously portioned/placed rice and the freshly baked naan bread gently placed on top of the rice were beautifully presented on a large white plate. And the cilantro sprinkled on top of the curry enhanced the whole experience. I can easily come back to get this amazing curry dish just about any time; it's that good!!

Wonderful! This was my second visit and I love this place!! The staff is great, the food is even better! First thing- you MUST try the lobster shooters. And watch the reaction of everyone at the table. They're spectacular! They have a wonderful happy hour- we got the prime rib sandwich and it was massive! The old fashioned is on point. The service was a little slow during happy hour, but we were enjoying our food and the great ambience so it was totally fine! I've also been here for lunch and it's just great. I highly recommend!

UPDATE: I received a message from the owner "reminding" me that I had a reservation for six, and only four showed up, so we sat at the bar instead; she also said she checked on us multiple times so she doesn't understand why we didn't say anything to her... ...well, that's because I AM NOT THAT PERSON. I was with TWO friends, we had no reservation, and we chose our own seats. It's interesting that she went radio silent after I brought this to her attention. She also tried to shame me for my harmful review because "restaurants are really hurting right now." As a public school teacher, I know what it's like to be hurting as far as money is concerned. She also said I could have said something about the sauces at the moment...I mentioned the ratio of sauce to tuna. Yes, we could have said something about the tuna and crispy rice, and based on the staff forgetting two of the items we ordered, as well as the message I got, I'm not sure how this would have changed. The last comment to top it all off was about how busy it was because of the DMB concert. Yes, that's why my friends were in town, and we got there at 4:30pm. We put in an order for several appetizers at once before 5pm, didn't get one of those until we finally got someone's attention, put in an order for TWO additional appetizers, never got one, and cancelled that to get the bill so we could get out of there. If you know that it's going to be crazy because of a concert, bring on more staff, rather than making excuses for poor service. Can you imagine if I emailed a parent blaming them for the way I taught? Goodness. ---- I'm still stunned as to how my friends from out of town and I spent so much money on mediocre happy hour food last night. Let's start with the worst app: the spicy tuna crispy rice. The rice had to be an inch thick, and there was basically a smear of spicy tuna on the top. The tuna sashimi was drowning in sauce with threads of tuna in the mess. The two crabcakes were the size of half-dollars. The carne asada tacos were fine. The lobster shooters were good, and I think that was mostly due to the sauce. The service started out fine, but once it got busy in there, either the four bartenders/servers couldn't keep up, or we weren't as noticeable as the epic crew of 40-somethings doing their version of suburban cool who overtook the space. They forgot two of our apps, and we cancelled the last one because we knew how long it would take to get it and then wait for the check. "Global Cuisine" is a big stretch. Such a disappointment when I only have a handful of time/meals to spend with my friends before they fly back home.

I do not write a lot of reviews but Ambli was spectacular! We are on a conference in Denver and found a restaurant with good reviews that is close to the hotel. The staff was super friendly, entertaining and went above and beyond. Thank you Charlie, Doug and everyone else. Even the patron made sure to spend ample time with us. The menu was "only" two pages but the variety of dishes made it incredibly hard to chose. There were entrees from all over the world and appetizers that made our mouths water. We can't forget about the cocktails: great choices and drinks that you might not find anywhere else. After visiting once we decided we had to come back a second time. Only negative thing I can think of is that this restaurant is not closer to home. :-) I guess it's a good excuse to visit Denver again.

I had a business dinner here recently. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The lobster shooter was one of the best appetizers I have ever tasted. It is served warm, and we were advised to let it cool for 30 seconds. The broth was just the right amount of spicy, and the dumpling was an explosion of taste. Other standouts were the crab cakes, the spicy tuna and seafood paella.

What an exceptional experience. We arrived for lunch and decided to eat at the bar, great call. We had a fantastic meal with a tuna appetizer that's top notch. Our drinks were delicious and most importantly the service and style was great. We were so fortunate to meet Doug and spend over an hour talking cocktails, various liquors, and the food scene. Can't wait for our next visit, the French Dip is out of bounds! Like unreal!

Been a while since our last visit (pre-lengthy-closure). Everything is shiny and new ... FOOD: We had couple of starters, and then some dinners. The starter dishes were small but tasty. The entrees were huge (esp. after having some starters); I felt that two people could have split either of those entrees comfortably. Great flavors, nice mix on both entrees, a bit pricey. The number of entree selections seemed a sort of limited, but there were multiple ones I would have been willing to try. DRINKS: We tried four of the specialty cocktails -- nice, but I felt they were really leaning into Interesting World Flavors in Every Glass just a hair too much. There is a full bar, though when I asked for a caipirinha to go with my (very tasty) Brazilian steak dish, they didn't have any cachaça, which seems a strange World Flavor oversight. The wine list was compact, but looked to have a good spread. SERVICE: Our waitress, Charlie, was delightful, and the overall level of checking in with us while not bothering us was quite good. Overall, was much more impressed than I was on previous visits. My wife says it might be a better place for drinks-and-shares vs. a full-blown dinner -- though maybe sharing an entree, plus some of the small plates / apps would be the way to go. Either way, we will be back.

Saw Derek at the bar for a happy hour delight. They have Happy hour all day every Monday. Their dirty martini is fantastic. All their cocktails are well made You need to get the lobster shooters. Some of the creamiest curries you will taste. Over a lobster dumpling that is out of bounds. They need to make this an actual dish it's that good! A DTC gem. The decor is immaculate and great for night out, business meeting or family dinner. Their menu is exotic and the sec exited extremely well. Don't be apprehensive about the variety on the menu. It's all authentic and flavorful. Service is top notch and a vibe that is unmatched.

I have strangely mixed feelings about Ambli. The modern decor is elegant and beautiful, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I'm just not quite so sure about the food. There is no question in my mind that the chef is talented and is trying to produce a high quality product. But for some reason it didn't quite hit the spot for me. I had the chicken tikka dip, which I thought was okay. It didn't come with enough naan (or whatever the bread portion was, I'm sorry it's been a little while and I don't remember) and I ended up just spooning up the dip and eating it. I also had a dish consisting of red pepper hummus, lamb, and peas. I just didn't think it was that great. I also thought it was a bit on the simple side for the price charged. But I do get that the chef was trying to produce something good tasting, I really do. So as I say, mixed feelings. I'd like to go back again and taste something else, and I suggest you give Ambli a try.

Food was great, ambiance, service too. Until, we got a check and wasn't told a gratuity of 22% was automatically added and we did not have a party larger than 5. As we scanned the receipt, then and only then did the waiter say a gratuity of 22% was automatically added. I'm a good tipper but the fact that I felt this was very sneaky makes me not want to go back.

This place is awesome! Pariza and Kelli go out of their way to always make us feel noticed and welcome. Nice wine list and fun atmosphere. The lounge area is cozy- like your living room!! Check it out!!

There were 5 of us and we had the best time trying all the various foods. Highly recommend the lobster shooters, but all the food was interesting and tasty. Great atmosphere, and the waitstaff was very attentive.

We had an amazing dinner here last night. We could only get a bar/lounge table for our reservation but when we arrived I met Persha, the owner. She was able to get us a table in the dining area. This place is not just dinner, it's an experience. The food is amazing, the service was stellar the the personal touch from the owner made it even more special. Persha, thank you for making our Anniversary dinner so wonderful. Your Dad is adorable and I love that he is part of the experience. I will also add that I have had dinner at the Colorado Springs location and it was equally delicious. We can't wait to go back to either location.

Everything about our experience was perfect! From the hostess squeezing us in. To the care that our waiter took to ensure that our food and wine chooses were complimentary. The ambiance, food and wine were great! Definitely will return and would recommend Ambli Global Cuisine.

Delectable international dishes in a relaxing quiet ambience! Tables are spread out so you're not right next to other groups. The owner comes and mingles. Servers are professional and friendly.

I had high expectations for this place as a friend recommended me. Although it was averagely busy for a Monday, the service was extremely slow. I only ordered off the happy hour menu as the lounge offers many good options...the food (small bites) took 30 minutes in between each bite. An hour and a half later I was served the last "bite" of three. For the high price, definitely not worth it if you have anything else to do on a work night.

Got great service with Derek, the filthy martinis he made us were delish and hit the spot on this warm sunny day. The music is upbeat and relaxing. Definitely a comfortable happy hour spot. Best Lobster Shooters (4) I've ever had, next time don't tease me and I would love 6 per order with a lil bowl of the curry because it was all sexual .

My fav restaurant in DTC is back open!!!!!! Screw you COVID... you didn't kill this gem! I love the staff, the food, the ambiance. This place opened back up half a year ago after being closed since 2020. I was devastated. I didn't know where my go-to restaurant. I love all food. I'm an international piggy. And Ambli pays homage to world cuisine but elevates it to the max. I tend to come during happy hour and sit in the lounge. Charlie always takes great care of us. I even come with kids and I never unwelcome. Some evenings have live music... don't we all love live music??? My favorites were the lobster shooter, filet mignon gyro, veggie dip, & steak tostada. But honestly... order everything and see for yourself.

Grabbed a Mediterranean bowl for lunch one day and it was fantastic. Had a variety of things in it (naan, hummus, veggies, falafel) and was pretty affordable. Great ambience and service as well. Would definitely stop in again.

Sunday brunch here is a must! The biscuit and short rib gravy melts in your mouth. The carrot pancakes are decadent and so moist. Highly recommend starting off with the golden glow elixir. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back!

Ok now....I'm pretty sure I love this place. Came here last week with a girlfriend for apps/drinks and we were so pleasantly surprised!!! We sat in the lounge area and it's so beautiful. From the moment I walked in the door, the staff were beyond friendly. The owner was the hostess for the evening and she is delightful. You can tell this a family business where they take such pride in their product. I had the ruby cosmopolitan....yum! And my friend and I shared the lobster dumplings (OMG) and the prime rib French dip. Both were delicious!!! The prime rib was so tender. The only recommendation is to bring two cups of au jus when you know it's being shared (it's cut to be shared). I will be back to this place again and again!!!!

WOW. I've been to Ambli in the Springs, and I must say that this was an even more incredible experience. The service and hospitality were off the charts. World class without being stuffy or pretentious, we had so much fun chatting with the staff (including the owner and her dad). Stunning atmosphere. The lobster shooters and barramundi were incredible, and I would give my left arm for the recipes to the dips that come with the filet mignon. Thank you, Ambli, for making our evening so special!
