About Ambra
Open only Thursday to Saturday, with dinner starting at 6:15pm, this is less a restaurant than a meal inside a working kitchen: guests sit together at a long pale-wood counter facing the stoves, and the cooks plate each course and hand it straight across. A separate brick-walled room holds a single long table for groups. The menu is modern Italian and runs to around nine courses, with sourdough pasta, caviar, black truffle and lamb among recent highlights and playful desserts. The wine pairing is built on biodynamic bottles, and cocktails or non-alcoholic swaps are handled without fuss. Recent reviewers put the price at about $300 per person, and a minority found the savory courses too buttery at that level, but most call it among the best meals they have eaten, and the Google average is 4.8. Expect to talk to strangers; smart-casual dress fits.
