Enjoyed a nice meal among the beautiful holiday decor of Hotel Contessa. Patio seating is available under the lights of the riverwalk, adjacent to marriage island. Steaks were delicious Japanese Akaushi beef cooked to perfection and the creme brulee is a must. Valet parking will be validated for all Ambler patrons and if you are lucky, the ducks will visit on the patio.

This was a treat for my Dad, it was just the two of us growing up and we always went to a fancy hotel for Thanksgiving Brunch. It has been decades since we have done this and let me tell you there was nothing disappointing about our experience. The food was amazing the staff were very cheerful and genuinely happy to be away from their families serving our meal. My Dad was so excited which doesn’t happen much anymore. Afterwards I was looking at some photos we took and read the menu omg there was so much I didn’t get to try ! Not that I had room for anything more ! Thank you all for such great memories
