This was our 1st time in. Gayla, the owner, greeted and seated us promptly. Very nice atmosphere and beautiful menu selections. Staff was very engaging. Food was outstanding as well. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, had to do with drink service. It took a little longer than it should and the drink was exceptionally small. My drink was simple, vodka tonic, but they kept bringing me soda. (which i hate) I did not complain, since the food was so good. I highly recommend!

Celebrated a birthday and all of the food was delicious! Definitely did not disappoint. Our favorites were the garlic shrimp, asparagus and and the patatas bravas. The best dish was easily the grilled octopus. We went on a Wednesday night and it wasn’t busy at all, great service from our waiter as well. Would definitely recommend Amada Tapas!

The plates looked amazing, tasted okay, and the cost wasn't too far out of line. Nothing other than the lobster grilled cheese, had much flavor at all. The octopus was good, but not in the top 10 that I've had. Not even top 5 in Tennessee. I'm not against it, but I'm also not sure if I would go back. Maybe.
