The atmosphere is "super comfy," perfect for date nights. Signature dishes include the "grilled octopus" and "lamb chops." Though drink service can improve, the restaurant remains a top choice for tapas lovers.

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!

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!
