On the house chips and dip

I found this place on social media to celebrate National Paella Day. We got seated at a high top table next to the bar. Very good choices for beverages and food. We tried White Sangria, Gran Casino, Pain & Glory, and a glass Cabernet. Love them all!

Delicious!

Amazing ladies night out! Eddy (Omar), our waiter was top notch! From the amazing service to the fantastic wine advice, to the amazing food and fabulous company, what a perfect night. The paid particular attention to my friends gluten-free diet specifically pointing out what she could and should not eat. From the amazing asparagus to the tasty octopus, we had an amazing dinner. The salmon was beautifully cooked. The chicken was delightful. But the shrimp and Brussel sprouts stole the show! The shrimp was in this delectable herb butter sauce that was absolutely amazing paired with the crostini. Dunk the crostini in the sauce and you're in for flavor town! We always tend to get the Brussel sprouts when we're out together and these were by far our favorite yet! A little crunchy, a little soft, with a touch of sweetness! The wine suggestion paired nicely with everything and was one of the best red wines I've ever had. Our desserts were also amazing! I only got a pic of the wine :(. Definitely will be back.

Fun place to check out! The menu can be a little intimidating because it's so large but you can do what we did - take the easy route and go for the (inexpensive) Chef's Tasting Menu. The table shares what is served and at one point the 2 of us thought we had finished all that was going to be served but another 4 plates arrived! There had to be at least 11 different dishes for us to try and most were very very good. It would be hard to list them all but some of our favorites included the Serrano Ham Croquettes; the Potato & Onion Omelette; the Charred Shishito Peppers; the Skirt Steak etc etc! Very nice setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. All the staff were friendly and informative.

Colleague and I shared multiple tapas, more than our stomachs can handle. Gambas Al Ajillo (garlic shrimps) & Pulpo (Galician style octopus) were wonderful. What surprised us was Piquillos (crab-stuffed peppers), very tasty. Bruselas Catalana (brussels sprouts) was good, but Tortilla Espanola (potato & onion omelette) could use more flavor. We also had Mariscos (seafood paella), which was big enough to feed 3 people. I enjoyed the rice more than the seafood. However, the dish looked stunning. Service was great. Server was attentive & friendly. He told us what the popular dishes were and provided recommendations. He served us the paella and packed the leftover. We did not feel rushed. It was a delightful experience. Highly recommend.

Crab Benedict

Such a phenomenal experience! I will say that I love all things Jose Garces, but man, the brunch was top notch! If you're thinking about it, just do it! The family style is the way to go, but come hungry, because there's PLENTY of food - and it's all delicious. I can't recommend the crab Benedict enough - filling, light, flavorful- honestly just delicious. You also can't go wrong with the delicious shared plates (and there's plenty for your entire party). The cheese bread, the croquettes, potato tortilla...all yum! I also have to give a shout out to the most amazing server, Ashanti! She was amazing and took incredible care of us. She knew the menu inside and out and could make the difficult decisions when we couldn't decide between options. She also was very attentive and everything you'd want a server to be. If you can book a table and request her - do it!

Amada has a location on the main line! And honestly, this place is pretty great, not to mention the added convenience of you're in the suburbs. The location is great, right of route 30 near the 476 exit, across from microcenter. The location itself is a bit tricky... You need to drive around the building to get to the parking lot, though it's my understanding you can park in the lot closest to route 30 and take the stairs. Closest parking is valet only. Once you're there, the place looks amazing on the inside! It's quite large, with a huge bar, and great decor. Best part, they have lots of sound dampening, so even when it's packed, it doesn't sound packed. Service is attentive and efficient. Food and drinks are what you expect of amada..in a word, delicious! Everything we had was absolutely delicious and kept us coming back for more. We considered dessert, but ultimately decided not to because we ate too much as it was. The menu is huge and absolutely delicious, you're bound to find something you like, and the drink menu is just as extensive. Is you like Spanish tapas, this is the place to go!

Went here over the Thanksgiving holiday and ordered the Chefs Tasting and was disappointed. I was expecting a better assortment of dishes. Five of the nine dishes were average and tiny, which consisted of cheese, some pepperoni, croquettes, shosito peppers, and fried potatoes. The skirt steak was not bad but a tad salty and the chicken skewers and dessert was okay but not amazing. The worst thing for me was the tasting menu didn't seem to highlight the restaurant's strongest offerings or at least I hope it didn't. The service was good though and friendly but the food underwhelmed for an 'Iron Chef' restaurant. It's not clear to me that I will return. Service I give a 4 but food for this level of restaurant really felt more like a 2. So I settled for a 3 overall score.

Great happy hour! We came and sat at the bar, the bartender was super friendly. All the food was delicious and came out pretty quickly. We weren't going to get the carrots but the bartender said they were his favorite and they did not disappoint, who knew carrots could be so good. Overall it was a great experience and ambiance we are looking forward to coming back!

This place is absolutely amazing! We loved the food. We were here for hubby's birthday! Charlie was our server, she went above and beyond, got the best wine & tapas recommendations for us. She also got a glass of complimentary spanish champagne for us and dessert. We had a fantastic time. Highly recommend!

Birthday dinner review! Jose Garces is one of those Iron Chef's that need no introduction in the City of Brotherly Love, and in the past I've been to many of his restaurants. Yet somehow his original Tapas palace Amada is one of those restaurants that has somehow alluded me! For my birthday this year I decided that it was far time for me to rectify this... sort of. Rather than go to the Philly original, I was so mesmerized and somewhat stupefied of the fact that they had opened its newest location in Radnor that it was one that I just had to try. And it led to the best Tapas experience that I've ever had! Rather than be tempted into ordering all of the things we decided to go "La Mesa De Jose" style so we could savor a chef's selection that provided a more than suitable mix of some of the things with a lavish presentation. Rather than listen to the sound judgment of our server and add a couple of additional tapas, I also decided to add the "Mixto: Carnes Y Quesos" board which *might have* came close to adding too much manchego with/ truffled honey and Iberico ham (close because is there really such a thing as too much of either?!) to our table! While charcuterie is still the best thing ever, next time I'm definitely choosing a couple of additional items instead so I can ensure that I enjoy those bacon-wrapped dates and crab-stuffed peppers alongside a couple of charcuterie items that get tossed into the overall selection. That said, it still proved worth it since the board also came with two cured chorizos and my new favorite combo of Cana De Cabra with a chocolate hazelnut puree! For drinks, I loved their Spanish take on an old-fashioned, and I enjoyed the fact that they had Mahou on the beer list. But they had an impressive mix of specialty cocktails and spirits on the menu. Where do I even begin with the incredible dishes that we had? while my pictures only cover so much of what we had before we indulged, and the chef's selection added a few surprises, I know that I enjoyed the following in addition to our charcuterie: Gambas Al Aljillo - the classic combo of shrimp with garlic & lemon is always easy to enjoy! Albondigas - Lamb meatballs with manchego, sherry, and a foie gras cream for the win! Chamuca - a spiced lamb turnover with a spicy mojo sauce. So good! Setas - a medley of wild mushrooms with truffle and lemons Brochetas De Pollo - perfectly cooked skewered chicken served succulently with an almond lemon labne sauce. Yes please! Chorizo Bilbao - tender sausages served simple with a bit of garlic and paprika. Ganache De Chocolat - an almost brulee style chocolate wafer sitting atop a ganache of chocolate Arbequina olive oil, and hazelnuts. Toss in spectacular service and it was another birthday dinner for the ages.Toss in even more things to try like paella and a whole roasted suckling pig dinner and I'm guaranteed to be back for more!

We visited Amada to celebrate my husband's dissertation defense! We had dinner reservations for 6:15. The restaurant had dim lighting and was quiet. There were very few people there. We started with happy hour which was surprisingly empty. The happy hour menu was very good. We followed up with dinner and did the chef's tasting menu! OMG! Everything was so delicious! My husband has multiple food allergies and they were accommodating but forgot a few times. They were extremely apologetic and didn't hesitate to replace the items. There was so much food. I didn't get pictures of everything. The food was outstanding! We can't wait to come back.

The Amada in Old City is a favorite when I want Spanish Tapas! I was excited to hear the announcement for the new Amada location in Radnor! The interior of this new location is spacious and beautiful! There is a large bar area and the kitchen faces an open area dining room! The drinks are top notch and flavorful! The tapas of the braised short rib on flatbread was delicious! The jamón croquettes in romesco sauce..so yummy! The main course of: French Toast & Eggs Benedict (Chorizo Sausage) was a great way to end our meal! Service was attentive and prompt throughout our dining experience! I recommend highly to others and will return repeatedly to this location because of the ease of parking availability and the spaciousness of the restaurant!

long time amada goer here. recently they added and changed a few things so I thought i'd give some…read moreinput. 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.

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

Ahhh Paladar! This place brings back fond memories. When I lived in Maryland, there was a location…read morein Annapolis that my co-workers/friends used to frequent for happy hour after work. When that location closed, we were bummed. I decided to take a little holiday shopping trip to King of Prussia and whaddaya know? The only Paladar location still standing is right here! After checking into my hotel, I made it my duty to head over there for happy hour. I'm glad I got there shortly after happy hour started because the bar started getting packed after a while. One thing I was happy to see was a happy hour with happy hour prices. $6 drinks and $6 food items can't be beat! I had a mango mojito followed by an apple margarita. I had the chips and guacamole, chicken tacos, and their famous (to me) bread pudding. That bread pudding is still as delicious as I remembered it to be. The bartender was nice and managed the crowd very well. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would definitely return when I'm in the area again. I just pray this location never closes as it seems all the others have.

With influences from Cuba, Central America, and South America, the restaurant balances bold spices, vibrant presentation, and an energetic atmosphere that makes it ideal for both casual nights out and group gatherings. One of Paladar's signature features is its Rum Bible--an extensive, almost encyclopedic list of rums from around the world. Whether you're a rum enthusiast or just curious, it adds a fun, exploratory element to the experience. Pair that with happy hour, which offers solid drink specials and approachable small plates, and Paladar becomes a popular after-work destination. The Cuban sandwich is a standout menu item and a must-order. Pressed until crisp on the outside and warm inside, it's layered with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard in perfect balance--comforting, flavorful, and satisfying without being heavy. Paladar Latin Kitchen succeeds by combining great cocktails, a deep rum program, and crowd-pleasing Latin cuisine in a high-energy setting. Between the Rum Bible, reliable happy hour, and a crave-worthy Cuban sandwich, it's a go-to King of Prussia spot when you want bold flavors and a fun night out.
