10/10 we can't wait to go back and to try the Radnor location. My husband ordered the Old Fashioned and said it didn't disappoint; I ordered the Rose Gold because I love any cocktail with passionfruit. We came specifically to try the tapas and loved every dish we ordered. My husband's favorite was the Gambas al Ajillo. He loved it so much that he ordered a second plate immediately after finishing the first. I couldn't decide between the Bruselas Catalana and the Coca de Alcachofas, loved both, and would definitely order both again. The overall experience exceeded our expectations and was totally worth the visit. read more

Note: if you want paella let your server know as soon as they initially greet you/tell you about the menu. It can take 30/45 minutes to come out. The ambiance of Amada's is very "date night intimate". The lighting is fairly dim and the temperature of the restaurant is kept a bit warmer (the open marches concept probably also has something to do with that). It is tapas style so whole my boyfriend and I waited for the paella, we got a few plates to graze on. We started with a charcuterie with the jamon Serrano and manchego cheese. Im a big fan of truffle honey and you can't really go wrong with a simple charcuterie. We also got the setas and ensalada Verde. The mushrooms were well sautéed and the sauce they were served with was absolutely delicious. The ensalada verde was very much green heavy but thats exactly what we wanted. It was auite refreshing and the oil dressing wasn't overpowering the taste or making it feel greasy. The Paella we got was the squid ink rice - very flavorful. There was shrimp, clams, squid, and chucks of monk fish. It didn't feel like the seafood was skimped on. The only thing I personally felt was too much was the spicy mayo dallops. I felt like they made the dish feel heavier than necessary and overpowered the taste of the rice. The arroz con Leche was divine. Im biased because I love rice pudding but I think adding the puffed rice on touch was such a nice touch. read more

Enjoyed my happy hour tapas experience here. Opted for the bar to try some of favorite tapas, tortilla, shishito peppers, and the garlic shrimp. The tortilla was the best, shishito peppers were nicely charred with crunchy finishing salt. Shrimp were good, about 6 to an order but a tad overcooked for me. Happy hour red sangria was tasty with plenty of freshly chopped fruit. Bartender offered efficient pleasant service. Dining room was filling up despite the early dining hour. Amada has been on must try list since it was closed for holidays last year when I had visited the city. So glad it was open, a delicious meal that exceeded expectations. Gracias! read more

78/100 Amada is certainly a good date night restaurant with its polished interior, small bites, and intimate lighting. However I found it to be unsuitable to dining with a large group due to it being very loud and crowded. I'd recommend the tasting set if you want to be full when you leave without breaking the bank. --- I dined at Amada on Friday night with a party of 8. Typical of a Friday night in Philly, Amada was packed. It was incredibly loud, which meant you couldn't hear anyone past those seated directly next to you. Our server, Alexander, was excellent. Since the whole restaurant was fully seated, service was a little slow (2 hours for our meal-not tasting menu), but his attitude and friendliness were exceptional. The tapas (small bites) are meant to be shared, meaning it will come out at different times if you all order individually. The staff plated nuts separately so that we could still share while being mindful of our party's dietary restriction. We ordered numerous tapas try for the table: (1) chorizo Bilbao, (2) piquillos (crab-stuffed peppers), (3) tortilla española (Spanish omelette), (4) espãrragos blancos (asparagus), (5) pimientos de padrõn (shishito peppers), (6) setas (mushrooms), (7) torreznos (crispy pork belly), and (8) chicken skewers. Overall, everything came out smaller than we expected for the price. (Not too upset since it's a $$$/$$$$ restaurant.) The flavor of every dish was tasty, if not all a bit salty. The standouts for us were the: (2) piquillos, (3) tortilla española, and (8) chicken skewers. I really enjoyed the crab filling of the piquillos, the balance of flavors in the tortilla, and the juiciness of the chicken. In the end, we racked up quite a bill and were still hungry afterwards. Personally, Amada is out my price range, but everything was quite flavorful. For others, I would recommend dining at Amada with smaller parties (6 or less) to accommodate the loud ambiance. Amada is definitely better suited for a romantic date spot or small gathering. For better value, the tasting set may make more sense. read more

I did a tour around Philly and decided to pop in here for happy hour and I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. The atmosphere is dimly lit and romantic, as I was eating alone I sat at the bar. There were plenty of seating available so that was a plus for me Service was quick and attentive Garlic shrimp: 4/5, loved it! I love the garlic flavor of shrimp which was cooked to perfection. Chicken skewers: 4/5, loved! The chicken was moist and packed with flavor. I enjoyed my meal here and my overall experience read more

What a fun and exciting accidental find while visiting Philly for a wedding and extended weekend. Yelp best spots near our hotel along Penns Landing and landed on this spot. Wonderful tapas and very attentive service - we did the chefs selection and were not disappointed - everything was wonderfully prepared and super flavorful - the mushrooms and steak were my to favorite courses and the crab stuffed pepper and the croquettes were my wife's favorite two- didn't realize until we walked in that this is a Iron Chef Jose Garza's restaurant read more

Tasty food for what we got! For the price point, I wish the portions were bigger. The ambiance of the place was amazing, it's a nice place to grab a drink. We do wish the service was better. We didn't get our waiter to come by until an hour after getting seated and by the time we placed our food orders, it was last call for food, so we couldn't order more despite wanting more food. read more

How do I rate this place, first I'll say the atmosphere is great, it had a warm and welcoming feeling. For tapas we had the salmon, croquetas de Jamon, and Pinchos de pollo, the Pinchos were very good, croquetas were not so good, and salmon was just ok. For drinks we had the white sangria (don't order it, this is just cheap wine with a few pieces of fruit in it), the Mojito (awesome), the old fashioned (really well made). Finally for the main dish we decided on the paella Valenciana. Really bad decision, it was one of the worst paella's I've ever had, actually no, it was the worse paella I've ever had. They earn gold on "worse paella". If you've ever had Spanish or Portuguese food and you enjoyed it, this place isn't for you. If you've never had it, don't try this place because this shouldn't be your point of reference as to what Iberian food should taste like. I know, I didn't mention service, it was okay. Overall, and this is hard for me, because I really wanted to like this place, this place gets a 3 for food, a 6 for drinks and some appetizers. read more

The flavor, presentation, and quality of all the dishes we had were fantastic. I was most impressed with the asparagus and salmon with the amount of flavor they had.

I was excited to visit Amara for restaurant week! Having multiple courses and being at a tapas place allowed us to try a full range of the menu! It was a prefix menu, but there were options for everyone! Some of our favorites were the Brussels and manchego. Things we would not order again- short rib which sadly lacked flavor and the octopus was delicious but there was barley a half of a tentacle on the plate. Didn't have a wide selection of wine by the glass. They definitely promote buying by the bottle. Service was good but I wish we got new plates for each course! read more

Went to Amada for restaurant week and unfortunately didn't have a very good experience. For starters our waiter had an extremely unpleasant attitude and was rushing us from the moment we sat down. She removed plates from our table while we were in the middle of eating. The calamari was their best item. Chorizo was inedible and tortilla española was extremely salty. The salmon was great until a couple bites in we discover a long blonde hair in the middle of the dish (mind you none of us have long blonde hair lol). We pointed this out to our server who did not apologize. The only thing she said was "want another?" We said no as we felt quite nauseous thinking about the hair and she just took the dish and walked away. They continued to bring the rest of the dishes we ordered but at this point you can't enjoy the meal when all you're thinking about is the long hair you just found in your food. Still no acknowledgment or apology from the waiter. When she brought the check out she said she removed the salmon which is the only reason Im giving 2 stars. We thanked her and left. It's not about the price it's about the principle. We were very disappointed with the service and the lack of a response right when we discovered the hair. An appropriate response would be "We sincerely apologize for this and we will let our chef / manager know" Wouldn't recommend. Servers are not very professional and quality of food is low. read more

long time amada goer here. recently they added and changed a few things so I thought i'd give some input. as usual the service, and ambience was impeccable. I am vegetarian, so here are my thoughts on the new items. Ensalade Verde: is the absolute best salad in the city. in the country even. absolute must get. it's big, however me and my sister still refuse to split it. definitely shareable though if you're not as greedy. Patatas Bravas: slightly different iteration than their past one. I think it's actually better. you get more potato's, more sauce, and the sauce just tastes slightly better but who knows. always ordered when we go Brussels Catalana: technically there is blue cheese in this, however, I am a certified blue cheese hater and I had no idea. so don't be turned off by that. first time having this dish and it was solid. good portion, well coated, right texture. will get again Pimientos De Pardon: shishito peppers were good, decent amount of them. I think everyone had three and we had 4 people. wouldn't get again just because there are other things more worth it but still great. Unknown Cauliflower dish: i'm not seeing it on the menu, so maybe it was just removed, but it was essentially a cauliflower gratin dish. I wouldn't get again. it was good, but lacked salt and was basically just a cauliflower in some heavy cream with a tiny amount of bread crumbs. Valenciana Paella: this has meat in it obviously, but I did eat around the pieces. if you're vegetarian and don't mind your food touching the meat, it's very easy to pick around. all the meat pieces are medium sized. This was very good, the rice was amazing, the watercress was so good. presentation was great. worth the time and money especially if you eat meat Ganache de Chocolate: pretty good. honestly interested in trying the rice pudding next. or just ordering another patatas bravas for dessert. shareable between two people. Passion fruit mocktail: MUST GET for all non drinkers! expensive? yes. worth it? yes. taste is great and it's also a nice thing to have if you're with others who drink and don't want to be left out. it's set up just like an alcoholic drink would be. read more

Amada is Chef Garces' iconic first restaurant. When searching for a romantic dinner location during our weekend away in Philadelphia, we searched no further than Amada. Entering the rustic industrial space one is immediately nestled in a warm and sexy ambiance. This tapas style restaurant offers a plethora of delicious bites expertly prepared and complemented by vast wine and cocktail selections . We chose The Estrella and Pain & Glory cocktails to start. The Estrella is a vodka based drink mixed with St. Germain, lemon, blueberry and finished with club soda. The P&G is a habanero tequila based drink blended with agave, lime and fresh apples. Both were a wonderful pairing with our tapas selections. We began with Gambas al Ajillo and the Bruselas Catalana. The shrimp were plump, perfectly cooked and steeped in a rich and flavorful garlic sauce that offered a slight hint of smoky heat. The Brussels were like none I have ever tried and probably the best I've ever had, and I am a frequent Brussels eater! They are enveloped in a Valdeon fondue then sprinkled with pine nuts and tart green apple. A marriage of flavors absolutely made in heaven! Last we culminated our meal with the Entrecote, a thinly sliced Wagyu Skirt Steak served with a bright and herbaceous chimichurri and a petite Salmon filet served with a Saffron Vinaigrette. The steak was beautifully marbled and the preparation highlighted the natural rich flavor of the meat. The salmon skin was seared to perfection and the filet was moist, juicy and seasoned to perfection. Overall, Amada is a MUST when in the Philly area. Chef Garces' first concept is truly first rate!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

I've been to Amada twice, and had a wonderful time both times. While not perfect, the food at Amada is flavorful and well portioned. I have especially enjoyed the patatas bravas, the cauliflower gratin, and the lamb albondigas (especially the heavenly truffle froie gras sauce). The short rib could have used a bolder accompaniment sauce, but the meat was perfectly cooked. My friends have enjoyed the bacon wrapped dates, the asparagus salad, as well as the manchego. Drinks are tasty and well balanced. The service is excellent-- efficient and friendly without being overbearing. I have sat in the lovely back room (quieter) and in front with a view of the kitchen (lively). I can see why this restaurant has done well over many years. read more

Tapas does a smooth tap dance on your appetite and taste buds. It's a great way to experience small plate dining. In a quaint dark wooden restaurant. It feels like you are in the belly of a colonial era ship. The plates keep coming. You will be amazed at the sheer flair of variety and flavors. read more

The ambiance in Amada was very nice. We started at the bar during Happy Hour. The Sangria was great and tasty. We went to a table where our server Nolan was outstanding! We ordered about 4 different Tapas, the chorizo, Brussels, short rib flatbread, and the crab stuffed peppers. They were all good but the FLATBREAD was out of this world! Omg, that's a favorite forsure. Overall, I recommend trying them. I will be back for that flatbread and some other new items to try. read more

What happened to this place? Every dish we ordered was worse than the last. The wagyu steak was so chewy it was practically inedible, the mussels were dry, the bacon-wrapped dates were terrible, and the "flatbread" was basically a tortilla with toppings. Service has also gone way downhill. This used to be one of our go-to spots, but it's clearly not what it once was. Huge disappointment and definitely not worth the price anymore. read more

Early Sat night dinner, greeted warmly and taken in. Served a complimentary tuna starter that was delicious with perfectly salted tortilla chips.

Haven't been in years, but still as good as I remember! Always loved the ambiance inside. Cozy and intimate. Service was amazing. We were greeted right away. Evelyn, our server, was sweet, friendly, and on top of service. She even brought bread when I asked for something to soak up the rest of the sauce from the lamb meatballs. Jen, the manager, even stopped by to check on us. Don't always see that nowadays! Last, but certainly not least, the food!! Again there were too many good tapas to try to get the paella (one day I'll make it back just for that). We had the ham croquettes, octopus, mushrooms, skirt steak, pork belly, lamb meatballs, and empanadas. All were incredible. And the timing between dishes coming out was perfect. Drinks (sangrias and gin & tonic) were perfection. The suckling pig at another table looks soo good! What a presentation! Thank you for another fabulous experience@ read more

What an incredible evening at Amada!! We opted for the iron chef tapas tour and we were not disappointed. From the time we were greeted at the door and until we left we felt so welcome. Our server Molly took excellent care of us. The care and presentation of the plates was so artistic and beautiful. We had dates, croquets, chorizo, piquillos, garlic shrimp, calamari, potato , peppers, cauliflower and shared a chocolate dessert and rice pudding. Everything we tried was incredibly delicious. When in Philly be sure to try this restaurant, you will definitely not be disappointed! read more

Wow. We saw Chef Garces on a cooking show and decided to check out his restaurant. This place is a small venue but most excellent. They offer tapas and in order to get the paella you have to give them 45 minutes. We did not but we ordered several things We ordered the ham and fig salad. Eww very nice but it is a salty dish. This did not take away from the dish at all it was excellent. We ordered the bacon wrapped dates which came with a little pearl onion on each skewer. They were incredibly flavorful. Sweet savory and awesome. Octopus was amazing charred and sweet and great flavor. Very very good. Waygu skirt steak. This was great flavor but overtly fatty. Short rib flatbread. Wow incredible bacon jam and super tasty. Flatbread was seasoned nicely and very flavorful The staff was awesome and very attentive. It is tapas style so the food comes when ready. We were impressed. read more

A very cool vibe. Loved the Spanish music and the muted lighting. Staff was fantastic, including our server, Nolan. Restaurant week menu had a good number of options. We enjoyed: *Green salad-with asparagus, fava beans, haricot verts-crisp, fresh and a nice dressing *Spiced lamb turnovers-tasty, crispy, cumin-y, yummy *Spanish octopus with potato slices-tasty *Head on prawns-lovely *wagyu hanger steak-a bit chewy with a vibrant salsa verde *Drinks were very good-"Tie me up, tie me down " and Rose something or the other I hadn't visited Amada in years but it won't be that long til I return. HH and tapas y vino menu look good, also. A very solid option for dining in Olde City. read more

I am glad I came back here and gave Amada another try and just created our own chef's tasting by just ordering off the menu. ENTRECÔTE: Wagyu Skirt Steak, Salsa Verde with Cabrales Demi - this was our favorite. It was so flavorful and the meat was to buttery and tender. This is a must have. CROQUETAS DE JAMÓN: Ham Croquettes - this was also very tasty, but we couldn't taste the ham. It was like a crispy cheese ball that sits on a dollop of aioli of some sort. PULPO A LA GALLEGA: Spanish Octopus, Potato Espuma - the slices of Octopus had good texture (sometimes they can be chewy). The potato espuma is like an extra creamy mashed potatoes. I also recommend this. SALMÓN: Seared Salmon (skin on), Saffron Emulsion - this one had a very unique flavor. The salmon was well made and not fishy. It is worth a try if you like salmon. PIQUILLOS: Crab-Stuffed Peppers topped with toasted almonds - I don't like peppers but this was very good. The peppers were so soft it just melts in your mouth. This came with three pieces, but stuffed with generous amounts of crab. ALBÓNDIGAS: Lamb Meatballs - this came with generous amounts of bite sized tender meatballs with a cream sauce and lots of peas. Not gamey at all. CORDERO: Lamb Chops (2), Nora Chile Butter and a lemon wedge. This was great, well prepared, tender, and flavor. PAELLA MARISCOS: Squid Ink Bomba Rice, Spiced Monkfish, Prawns, Calamari, Cockles, Canary Island Mojo Aioli - the rice was so good. The other seafood was not mixed it, just organized neatly on a bed of rice. The monk dish was good, but not much flavor to the muscles or cockles. We didn't get prawns (someone has an allergy) so they gave us extra bivalves. Also topped with a lot of parsley and some tomatoes. PERNIL ASADO: Confit Pork, Rosemary White Beans, Seville Orange - this was our least favorite. Least favorite as in we didn't like it at all. The beans were tasted strange (almost a little bit sour) and the pork was a choking hazard. We got a doggy back for this... literally. Our waitress did warn us about this and we didn't listen. We also got complimentary chorizo which was so nice :). They also serve good coffee - dark and strong! The service was great, we adored our waitress and she played along with our crazy antics. Tables were swiftly cleared for upcoming dishes, and water was never half full. read more

Such a great night out. The vibe works for a group or a date. Ordering all the tapas was a fun experience but even better was trying them

I went with a large group for a friend's birthday. It was a fabulous experience! The manager and servers made us feel like rock stars, which went a long way to make my friend feel special. We ate our way through so many plates and there wasn't one I wouldn't rave about. I'm already planning another visit with my family in a few weeks and can't wait. read more

My friend and I recently went to Amada for Center City Restaurant Week and had a great time! The ambiance was super cozy, and service was fast throughout the evening. To drink, I got a mocktail called the Chavala which had Feragia Free Spirit, lemon, rosemary, egg white, and paprika. It was a little sweeter than I was expecting but still super tasty. To eat, we split all of the vegetarian options from the restaurant week menu. For the first course, we had Manchego with truffle lavender honey, Ensalada Verde (green salad, asparagus, favas, haricot verts, avocado), Tortilla Española (potato and onion omelette), and Patatas Bravas (spiced potatoes). My favorite dishes were the salad which was super refreshing and the patatas bravas, which had a delicious aioli. For the second course, we split the Judias Verdes (charred green beans, fennel confit, almond dukka), Pimientos de Padron (flash fried peppers, deviled egg cream), Bruselas Catalana (brussels sprouts, green apple, pine nuts, valdeon fondue), and the Arroz Temporado (wild mushroom rice, peas, manchego). The standout in this round was definitely the brussels sprouts, which were so caramelized and delicious. For dessert, we split the Tarta de Queso (basque style cheesecake with membrillo and granny smith apple) and Arroz con Leche (rice pudding, coffee caramel, crunchy puffed rice). While both were alright, the dessert round was probably my least favorite of the night. I would definitely be interested in returning outside of restaurant week to see how the food compares during a "normal time." read more

I moved to Philly from NYC and have traveled the world. In these experiences, along with fine dining in Philly and other US foodie cities, I have never encountered the insane situation we just faced at Amada. We walked in on a day where a major event brought lots of people to the neighborhood. Despite, this event being well-publicized, Amada was not 100% full but clearly underprepared and understaffed. We were seated and excited to eat. Our server immediately killed our enthusiasm. No hello or smile. Just annoyed that we were another table for her to serve. She was rude and terse when we asked a question about drinks. Twenty minutes later, we still didn't have drinks and were talking amongst ourselves at our table (server nowhere in the room) and said to each other where is that B with our drinks. The person who seated us (and later said she was the general manager) was lurking in the area and overheard our conversation and came over to chastise for referring to the server as a B. We won't even discuss the audacity to eavesdrop on a private conversation (again server was nowhere near us). We tried to explain that our frustration stemmed from the horrible attitude we experienced from the server, but this "manager" wouldn't even allow us to speak. She told us we can leave and then said we can stay which we wanted to do because we were hungry. The server came with our drinks and the manager told her to "drop them and walk away" as if her life was in imminent danger (insert eyeroll here...oh the Netflix level drama). This "manager" then walked away but came back and told us to have our drinks and leave even though we didn't even say anything else so this new hostility was completely unwarranted and beyond unprofessional and unhinged for a "manager." Clearly, we are not outliers as other reviews confirm awful service. TL:DR if you want to have someone ear hustle your table conversation, refuse to even remotely hear about poor service, make excuses for the restaurant's lack of preparation, and throw a hissy fit and ask you to leave even though the issue was settled, go to Amada. If you want delicious food, always phenomenal kind and professional service (busy or otherwise) go to Royal Boucherie around the corner.. read more

Amada Philadelphia - Tapas Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Oh Amada, what a life I've lived without you. What an opportunity I had to see you, breathe you, take you in. I adore that chef Jose Garcés has a couple of places to be able to showcase his menus and his thoughts, and I was happier when I noticed Amada is full of energy, great food, and amazing opportunities to relax with loved ones. If you're in the mood for drinking, and snacking, Amada is in. It really is a tapas set up menu, with so many options of drinks to pair with your choices. The decor and the ambiance is so nice but simple. you can sit at the bar, high tables, or in a table and oversee the restaurant, bar or outside. We were given some time to browse the menu, our server brought us water and we opted for some of their house drinks, a coke for the teen, and browsed the menu. Before we put our orders in, we mentioned that my daughter has a shellfish allergy. Our server was very understanding and made sure to ask if things needed to be cooked on their own of if they were able to be cooked in the same section. As far as the pricing, for the individual items you're ordering, whether fish, a charcuterie board, bacon wrapped dates, it's all worth it! The bill will add up for sure, especially if you're a first timer and you want to taste everything like we wanted to. My favorite was the bacon wrapped dates, and the squid. The dates were just out of this world. It was something new to me, but so simple and beautifully crafted man. The same with the squid, it was on the plate with its ink, sliced, simply grilled, just awesome. Philly was so humid that day, so we opted for one drink and water, so much water. The menu selection for tapas is great, and there are also some dishes if you prefer that. Now again, it's pricey because your tasting different items, and it all adds up in the end! If you're looking for a date night to get to know your significant other, your date, and how adventurous you can be, Amada is the place. Just bring some extra cash, tip your servers, be open to a great time and conversation. I love me the Old City in being able to visit Amada! read more
