Patatas Bravas
Rebecca H.

The food and drinks here were great. I liked my old fashioned cocktail. The Patatas Bravas were crispy and delicious. The sauce it came with was good. The paella Valenciana was flavorful and I liked everything in there. I found it interesting that they used chicken wings instead of boneless, but it was still good. The service was great and the place had a dark, trendy ambiance.

Seafood Paella ($134 for half size)
Philip Y.

We came in for the famous Seafood Paella and tapas. We ordered a bunch of tapas to share among 5 of us. The tapas were kind of pricy for the portion they gave us. The octopus was kind of over-cooked slightly. The Brussels sprouts, shrimps and tomato bread were good. The Paella have various seafood ingredients including lobster, but the rice was kind of hard. Overall, it was a good meal but way over-priced (almost $300 for 5)

Bacon wrapped dates
Jennifer S.

My husband and I were staying at Ocean for our anniversary on a Sunday and the restaurant we usually frequent was closed. So, we made reservations for Amada. We looked at the menu ahead of time and were a little hesitant since it's mostly a tapas style menu and we are typically into apps, entrees, dessert situations, but there were several things we wanted to try. We were seated at a table near the bar by the windows. The view was great but the lighting was so dim it made it hard to see. More on this later. Our server greeted us and took our drink orders. My husband did one of the signature cocktails but I asked for an Aperol spritz with passionfruit. Not only were they willing to do it for me, it was divine! Our server was super helpful when it came time to order, since we didn't want to go overboard but wanted to make sure we got a decent variety of things to try. We opted for the bacon wrapped dates, garlic shrimp, patatas bravas, fideos, A5 Wagyu skewer, and the A3 strip steak. We wanted to try the Iberico pork but it was sold out. The "bread" service is what can best be described as pita-like chips and a tuna aioli with capers, which is reminiscent of a tuna salad. This is a very unique choice, but it was good. The bacon wrapped dates arrived first and were five small dates, wrapped with bacon, and stuffed with an almond. They were delicious and made us excited for what was to come. Next our A5 Wagyu skewer arrived. It was hard to see, since it was dark, but we took a photo with flash and were able to see that the horseradish cream was underneath and the chimichurri sauce was on top. The A5 is such a melt in your mouth cut of steak that the sauces were definitely overkill, and this is coming from someone who wants sauce on literally everything. The third item to come out was the garlic shrimp. This was about 7 tender shrimp sitting in a garlicky broth with little slices of baguette on top. We ranked the first 3 tapas as 1. Shrimp 2. Dates 3. A5. Shortly thereafter the fideos arrived. These were vermicelli noodles in a goat cheese sauce with Serrano ham, pistachio, and truffles. They were SO good! Highly recommend these. Then the patatas bravas arrived along with the NY strip. The patatas bravas are little crispy potato bites with a paprika aioli and they were so delicious too. While NY strip isn't a typical cut of steak we choose, in this case with it being A3, we wanted to give it a try. It arrived with 3 dipping sauces- a pepperocini style aioli, tomato romesco, and a shallot buerre blanc. The sauces were great and we couldn't choose a favorite. They all paired well with the steak. Despite being full and not needing another thing, we opted for the El Domingo for dessert. What's the El Domingo you ask? A sundae with dulce de leche filled churros, vanilla and chocolate gelato, whipped cream, candied walnuts, and cherries. It was the perfect ending to a delicious dinner. Our server was attentive and helpful. We would definitely come back again.

Sangria
Kristi P.

Terrible service on Sunday 1/18. Our bartender completely ignored my hubby & I but served everyone else around us. The specials that night we overheard but he never told us. When my hubby went to the bathroom, it was then that the bartender decided to ask me if I wanted another round. When I told him I wasn't sure what my hubby wanted, he said "he can wait, I'll take care of you". We had to flag him down for everything, including water! Would have totally ordered food if he just expressed interest. Pass on this place in AC!

We came just for the day, and I had this spot on my must-try list. The hostess was warm and accommodating when I requested a window table for the ocean view. Though none were available, she seated us at the next best spot, close enough to enjoy the beautiful view. Meagan, our waitress, was an absolute gem. She even had on the cutest duck earrings! She partnered with a very kind gentleman (whose name I forgot--blame it on the wine!) and together they were attentive, friendly, and spot-on with their recommendations. We started with the garlic shrimp and clams, and Meagan insisted we try the bacon-wrapped dates. I gave her the side-eye at first (dates?), but BABY!!! One bite and I was sold. Even my 10yr old was raving. She told Meagan, "Five stars on the dates!" For the main, we shared the Paella Mariscos. My husband has a hearty appetite and even he couldn't finish it. The portion is huge, overflowing with seafood, and bursting with flavor. Because we were seated so close to the window, we even got a surprise bonus, front row seats to the drone show and fireworks over the ocean. A big shout-out to the manager, who made her rounds with a big smile and genuine warmth. You can tell she loves what she does. If you're in Atlantic City, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. Ocean views, amazing food, drone and fireworks show, and great service.

Potato/tater tots
Lauren M.

Amada has not been up to par recently. I think the best time to go is when you sit at the bar- beautiful big bar and bartenders do a phenomenal job. The last time I went our server didn't even check on our meals. At the end didn't offer coffee or dessert- she said, "check?" The service was definitely not up to the prices and casino standards of Ocean. Linguini by the Sea was a much better experience.

Steak salad
R. H.

Expensive, but well worth the experience. Excellent view of ocean. A little bit expensive, but good to take your SO. Tapas food amazing, particularly flaming shrimp dish. Good service. After six months, I still remember this place and want to come back.

Brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and boy did they not disappoint! The place was busy with it being the start of March Madness. We had to wait a fee minutes on our 7pm reservation only because we requested the birdcage seating, which is totally understandable. We got water as soon as we sat down. Our waiter explained the menu in great detail, we both ordered drinks. My gf says their sangria is great, and I had a nice glass of red wine. Their setup is a bit different as when each plate that you ordered is ready it comes right out. Her diver scallops (smaller option) came out quick and she said they were delicious, along with the wild mushroom rice she ordered. I got the rack of lamb (smaller option) which were AMAZING. It came with 3 different sauces which were all tasty. They also gave us a complimentary tuna dip which was great. Ofcourse we both wrapped our meals with their Spanish creme brulee, so good. Worth every penny if you ask me. They checked on us constantly and made sure we had a good experience.

Paella
rich c.

A little torn here. Tapas was mostly good. The place is really nice. Enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was very attentive, friendly and efficient. Shrimp was good Potatoes good Clams good Brussel sprouts were somewhere in the middle. I think they may have been small ones so they were falling apart and a little on the burnt side. I like a good char but these were deep fried according to the waiter. The paella was mixed. I don't think the lobster was fresh or it was a little undercooked. It was off - the shrimp looked like it was grilled and placed on top as it wasn't hot. I don't think they used enough stock as the rice wasn't done. But then, while I love a nice crust, you can see in the photo, it was burnt. 2 of 5 clams didn't open. I've had many paellas in ny, nj, Spain, and elsewhere. Definitely let our waiter know. Offered that the chef said the Brussels sprouts were made that way. No word on the paella.

Key lime desserts

Once you walk into Amada you're immediately transported to what feels like the South of Spain. The decor, ambiance, and incredible views of the water make this one of the best spots in Atlantic City. It's truly majestic and offers such a unique and elevated dining experience. We went for the Mother's Day Brunch Menu at $75 per person, and let me just say--it was worth every penny. The spread was unbelievable, from the beautifully designed decor to the exceptional service and, of course, the outstanding food. This is a place I would gladly return to for another special occasion, and I've already recommended it to several friends and family members. The dishes were so creative and stunning--both in presentation and flavor. My absolute favorites were the pernil, tortilla española, and the amazing selection of quesos and jamones. I loved how the food was served on beautiful Spanish wooden cutting boards, which added such a rustic and authentic touch to the whole experience. I also posted photos of some of the appetizers and the brunch menu for anyone curious about the options, which were immense! The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, which added that extra awe to the experience. You could tell they truly cared about the menu and creating an authentic dining moment. Although Chef José Garcés isn't Spanish himself, the execution was impressive, with so many thoughtful nods to Spain's culinary traditions and design. One of my favorite details was the design of the restaurant itself. The ambiance was calming and secluded, with beautiful tiled floors (no carpet--yay!), and the bathrooms were a standout. Their Spanish-style decor and design added to the authenticity, making the experience feel cohesive from start to finish. I can't wait to go back and relive this experience. Highly recommended!

Service Is amazing!!!! Had a reservation for 8:30pm but reached at 7pm and got seated! The food was yummy! We got a variety of tapas - vegetarian and meat - all were really good.. They have bird cage seating which looks so cool! To get one of those, when you reserve online make a note "bird cage" and they'll do their best to get you seated there.

Tuna appetizer
Paul L.

We had multiple small plates and one entree. Everything was excellent. The cheese with fig and cherry marmalade was delicious. We had the Brussels sprouts and the rice with asparagus from the vegetable section, both were excellent. The scallop entree wasn't substantial but was very tasty. From the appetizer section we had the tuna, the stuffed pepper and the garlic shrimp, all three did not disappoint. The chocolate ganache dessert was not overly sweet and finished the meal fabulously. Our server Miro was terrific with his recommendations and service and the manager Laura was very attentive and charming. Usually casino restaurant are impersonal but this place is different in all the right ways

Sandy T.

Lovely restaurant! Great service from the staff. We got seated in one of those bird cage tables overlooking the ocean. The menu had a good selections of food. We ordered a bunch of tapas and entree to share. We enjoyed the food. The octopus was nice and tender. We didnt care for the chorizo. The fried pototes was a little bland. The Brussels sprouts were good. The chip and dip that was free was soo good! Overall we had a great time but the meal was really expensive. Definitely a splurge

4 stars for the holiday lounge, but 3 stars otherwise…read more The 1927 Lounge is located just off to the side of the casino in the Ocean Resort and offers a mix of slop machine noise/excitement, paired against a quiet corner nook of coziness. The bar occasionally offers live music, but my favorite time to visit is during the holidays, when they turn it into a festive Christmas spot with holiday beverages. There are fun decorations, strands of lights, Home Alone 2 playing on the televisions, and much more to really get you in the holiday spirit. I most recently tried the Pomegranate Margarita on their seasonal menu and thought it was excellent; it was not too sweet or too weak. I should note that there are rarely servers in the lounge area, so you typically need to go up to the bar to place an order, which can disrupt the flow of fun you might be having. Overall, I think the 1927 Lounge is decent on a normal day, but much better when they have a themed takeover happening.

They have acts that incorporate thrilling tricks that keep everyone on their toes. I could not help but take videos so I could show all of my friends and family back at home just how incredible it actually is. You will not be disappointed!
