Very cool dining experience. We took 16 people on a Sunday night at 730pm. Our wait was only 10 minutes. In that time we got some drinks from the cool bar setup in an old bank vault downstairs.

We only had one server for our large table, and he was outstanding. He memorized all our drink and food orders, everything came out perfect.

Most of our group got steaks. They all raved about them. The soup and grilled cheese was another massive hit. I had the creole shrimp and grits and they were excellent and enough for a single person entree.

The food was all delicious, everyone races about it. Not a miss. Service was super attentive despite being only one guy. Great experience, definitely recommend.
Ambar Capitol Hill

Wow!!! Took a party of 10 to Ambar on a Tuesday night. We ended up on the third floor of this restaurant and we all got the all you can eat dinner. Those not driving upgraded their meal to all you can drink as well.

The way the all-you-can-eat works is that when someone orders a tapas plate, they bring out enough of that plate for everyone. I was concerned that we weren't going to be served food fast enough to really get full, or that if someone else ordered something I didn't like that I'd have to wait for something good to come out. I was wrong. Food flowed consistently, they even did extras like giving me a bowl of my favorite dip just by itself. The service was excellent.

The food itself was tremendous. Super flavorful, enough to split among tables easily. The best winners were the lamb lasagna, and cevopi. They even gave us a free dessert. Absolutely recommend this spot.
The Sweet Spot

We stopped into The Sweet Spot for some desserts and wow were our expectations exceeded. The restaurant is very small with only 4 seats for customers, 3 of which were taken when our party of 5 arrived. The wait was worth it, our crepes were beautiful and delicious. I got the strawberry banana Nutella crepe and it was delightful. The two who got the lemon crepes raved about it as well. They were all made fresh, so it took a bit to get our orders with the drinks for our party and two other parties behind us coming out long before our crepes, but the wait wasn't overwhelming. Definitely recommend the crepes. The ice cream that came with the crepes was okay but not the star of the show by far.
