    Beautiful ambiance, especially if you sit outside along the river. The restaurant was quiet where you can hold a conversation and tables are well spaced, so you do not hear others conversations. The value of the food was mediocre; however, you’re paying for the scenery. The service was excellent. My party and I went in the evening. I will definitely come back for brunch soon.

    We had such a great experience the first night of our stay that we cancelled the dinner reservations we scheduled earlier. We travel and eat out often and we love the ambience, the music, the cocktails and the food is over the top. The eggs Benedict for breakfast was excellent. Most of the menu items are handcrafted! We had 4 different servers at 4 different meals and they were all great! They were friendly and very knowledgeable not to mention highly professional. FABULOUS !

    The Ambler Restaurant offers a beautifully inviting atmosphere that feels both comfortable and sophisticated. The staff is exceptionally polite and professional, making for a delightful dining experience. Our waiter frequently checked in on us to ensure everything was to our liking. When I mentioned that I would prefer my dish to be heated a bit more, she promptly and cheerfully addressed my request. To my surprise, the chef personally came out to apologize and graciously offered a complimentary dessert, along with a freshly prepared plate that was absolutely perfect. I left feeling thoroughly satisfied and would give this place all the stars if I could! The service was excellent and the ambiance elegant. I will definitely be returning!

    Wonderful experience. I took my parents, 86 and 88 years of age. The staff was helpful and the food was excellent. They gave us a wonderful view and patiently help my father in a wheelchair. The smoked applewood bourbon drink was no only delicious but a beautiful presentation at our table.

    The food and ambience were good. The biscuits were delicious. Our server definitely was in a mood. There were a couple mistakes she didn’t acknowledge, seem to care or hurry to fix. Drinks, appetizers plates, refills, condiments, and boxes took a long time. Like unusually long. Regular coffee is terrible but lattes were good. We still tipped and gave a pass since she’s working on New Year’s Day.
