Came here for a friends birthday dinner and it delicious!! We got the southern fried chicken with moms buttermilk mashers and cream corn. The cream corn was definitely different then what you would normally expect BUT it was damn good. At first I thought it was soup but all the favors were delicious. The chicken was perfectly fried and the gravy for the mashers was perfect. Drinks were strong and yummy, the server was beyond sweet and attentive. If you’re not that hungry I suggest sharing, the portions fed two people and they even separated the food for us! The view of the river walk was beautiful also!

We chose this amazing restaurant for my birthday breakfast & I am so glad we did! The food was fabulous!! Jarrod, our waiter, went above & beyond to make it a special breakfast ! He split our sticky bun intuitively and I was so happy he did because that thing is HUGE!! It was rich & delicious…a definite TREAT! At the end of our meal, Jarrod brought out 3 balloons for me . I highly recommend the Ambler!

Recently stayed at the Contessa. Had a late dinner at the Ambler restaurant. Our server (Bellamy) was excellent. The filet I had was cooked perfectly and one of the better steaks I have had in a while. The Chicken Tortilla soup and crispy Brussel Sprouts were also very good.

What an amazing atmosphere right off the Riverwalk. Located in the atrium of the Contessa, it’s located in a great, less traffic area of the Riverwalk. Great bar that services amazing Mimosas. Their Mimosas are more champagne and less orange juice. They have happy hours specials, too. The breakfast tacos were great, as was the flat iron steak. The meatloaf, pork chops, and burgers were all just ok. Beer was cold, and wife loved their cucumber martinis. They have indoor and outdoor seating along with a bar and lounge seating in the atrium area.

Service was the best! Amanda with the drinks and making sure we were always taken care of. Jorge was working to support us as well with any needs. Very kind and personable. They were caring about food allergies and made sure no tomatoes consumption took place. The Red Snapper was fresh and spot on. The brunch burger was as killer as it can get. So much stuff on it, but it all went well together. The chips and guac were magnificent, homemade chips and everything tasted like it was straight from the kitchen.
