    Amada is an excellent restaurant. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and checked on us frequently. The food was excellent! Best tapas experience we have ever had. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly, as was the salmon. The steak tartare, beets, endive with goat cheese, and charcuterie were all delicious. We also had dessert and Amada did not disappoint! In particular the ice cream was very creamy and flavorful. We have already recommended this gem of a restaurant to friends and family! A lot of restaurants claim to be instagram-worthy, but Amada really is. We sent lots of pics out!

    The food was excellent and the servers were polite, when they were present at all. I ordered a second drink when I ordered my food. 1/3 of my food and my drink never appeared. No one came to check on us. I finally waved someone down. Eventually, I just cancelled it and requested the check. They took it off and blamed a new bar tender but the server also never followed up. We don’t plan on returning.

    Amadas was amazing. We were a little disappointed when we found out they were out of the mussels and the ceviche tostada when we arrived (saturday 8:00 pm Rez) but the dishes we did order were outstanding. I love octopus but I find it’s always a gamble when you order it, as it could easily be overcooked-it was perfection. Everything we ordered was executed flawlessly. We started with the beets and the octopus, then added on the endive and potatoes. We finished with the chocolate budino- we could not decide which was our favorite- it was all so delectable. We also ordered some cocktails which were on point. Our server was attentive and friendly and the overall experience was great. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back!

    On vacation and first time there. Very disappointing! Perhaps this is the version of tapas served in the area, but they were not like any I have had in the past. The marinated olives were cold and had only a bit of olive oil on them, the fried deviled eggs had little flavor, croquettes were without flavor and were mushy, and the patatas bravas were simply a bowl of home fries. There is another restaurant by the same name in Philadelphia. Suggest you have a meal there to find out what tapas really are.

    A really wonderful experience. The menu was interesting. The servers were knowledgeable. The wine list was robust. And most importantly, the food was delicious.

    I took my wife out to celebrate our anniversary and man, I couldn’t have chosen a better place! We talked about some of our favorite dinner dates over our 10 years together and by the end of the night. Amanda’s Tapas made that list. We shared 5 plates including a charcuterie board and I really can’t decide which was my favorite. Every bite was delicious and prepared beautifully. The deserts were amazing as well, and was the perfect top to a great night out. Highly recommend this place!

    It was date night, and found the atmosphere perfect, cosy and warm. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and happen to be the chef/owner filling in for a staff member. Really impressed to see the chef stepping up and covering for her server in a time of need. Food was great, she even noticed the steak was overcooked and had a refire ready in minutes, so impressed with the thoughtfulness. Will definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! This place never disappoints!
