    Seated 45 minutes after reservation was made and needed to take the last course of our food to go as we had to go to a show. Food and drinks were good. It was a little loud but fine though we felt pressured after a while as service was a little slow and were seated late. Still worth it.

    My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing brunch with amazing tapas and large plate breakfast entrees. We asked to move to a bar side high top to have a more intimate setting and the hostess happily accommodated our request.

    It was close but not quite making it. It all just fell short. Dates- could have been tasty- if they werent dry and falling of skewers. Looked like someone reaches into a bucket and threw them on the plate. flank steak- was decent- again- presentation was terrible- slopped onto the plate- could have come w a little side of Something- it was cold. Tuna. Terrible presentation. Slapped onto a plate. Zero care. The sauce underneath was spread, only half of the piece of fish. And the tuna smelled fishy. The dessert was fantastic. The rice pudding. With some improvements, could be a Stellar place. For the cost, should have more care in preparing the food.
    Amada PHLResponded on February 21, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Presentation and attention to detail are just as important to us as the quality of our food, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. It’s disappointing to hear that the dates, flank steak, and tuna fell short, but we’re glad you enjoyed the rice pudding! We truly appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with the experience you deserve.
