Walked in and instantly felt welcome and at home. Gorgeous bar and delicious drinks that remind you of why they’ve accurately named it Ambrosia. This is indeed the food of the gods. I’m very much a creature of habit and would usually go for the NY Strip or the half-chicken, but something told me to try the Pork Chop with Apples and it surpassed my expectations. My wife is Greek and very picky about her Greek food and she couldn’t have been happier! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I’d give more stars if I could and we will definitely be returning in the near future!

Outstanding ambience and meal. George and Jay are very gracious and very personable coming to our table ask us about our meal and service. Definitely would come back, maybe tomorrow night. They also said the upstairs will be open in the next few weeks for private parties and a larger bar area. Can’t wait

I have put off this review for a week but decided to post it for information for some Diners. I know there are a lot of people that have enjoyed Ambrosia but I had a less than spectacular visit. The staff and our waitress, Amber, were extremely nice and caring. The food was not up to my standards but we only had salads and appetizers and no entrees. I had a Greek salad that was small and had an exteme amount of raw bell peppers, 2 small grape tomatoes and 3 small pieces of onions for $19 which is the highest I have ever paid for a salad only. It was OK but not great. But, the fried calamari I had was excellent and the same price. I definitely would get that again. My Bride had a pear salad that had it’s shortcomings. It was not sweet but bitter and acidic. She also got an appetizer of what we thought would be the highlight of the day, Scorpio Shrimp. We have eaten many times in the past at the Elite Epicurean, which was a predecessor of Ambrosia, and always got the Scorpio Shrimp dis
