First time at Amanda - there were 3 of us. The valet parking out front is shared with Flemings - that works. Otherwise you may need to park a bit away. The ambiance is nice - same layout as prior restaurant with some updates. The menu has good variety. The prices are a little high - but that was expected. The chorizo was excellent - we tried it twice! The wagyu was delicious. The mushrooms were good but could of used a little more flavor. The peas dish was demolished (meaning it went fast because it was really good). The 1/2 chicken was pretty decent too. The service was very good and the manager stopped by and chatted - very nicely done. We will go again! read more

This was truly just okay, but for the cost it should have been so much better when there are so many local fine restaurants (like Estia, literally in walking distance) to compete with it. I ate at the Amada in Philly years ago and remembered it being amazing. This was not the same experience. We were given a free appetizer from the chef to start and it was described by the waiter as "upscale tuna salad." I happen to love tuna salad, but this was a gross start to a meal. It was a very watery canned tuna taste, along the lines of bad tuna at a deli. I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. The plate sat at our table until I asked someone to please take it away near the end of the meal. Then we got the cheese plate and it was fine, but there was an accompaniment on the plate that was homemade Nutella. One of the other accompaniments also had a very strong chocolate flavor, so this was confusing. Like a dessert cheese at the end of a meal, but we had just started. We honestly love strange cheese combinations, but the Nutella threw my husband and I. It seemed to match nothing and messed up our tuna soaked palates even more. Still, the cheese was delicious. As were the bacon wrapped dates and the spiced potatoes (my husband hated the potatoes, but I liked them). The Brussel sprouts were just okay, but the only real problem was the salmon. I could smell the fishy scent of the salmon as it hit the table. It tasted even worse. Then it was also dried out. It was not the kind of fish that should be served at a restaurant of this caliber. I did not take more than one bite. Our server was nice, but didn't seem to care that we had passed up on finishing so much of our food. (I feel like a good waiter would have asked what was up.) I had a glass of wine so the total was $100 plus $20 of tip. Not worth the experience for me to come back, sadly. read more

We returned for a 2nd visit to this suburban location of the center city outpost. We dined on some old favorites & also tried some new items. Service was excellent & the food dishes are hit or miss. read more

I enjoyed the food a lot! I found it very creative and different from what I normally have. Very tasty and different. A bit of a loud environment and tables are close together. Not necessarily great for quiet conversation. Seemed to have a lot of folks there for business dinners. read more

Excellent addition to the mainline food scene . Cool and elegant . It has been done up very well and the ambiance is awesome for a get together or a dinner with your significant other . We started off with the cheese platter and ordered pretty much all the tapas . We started off with their drink Seville sour which was very well done with a lot of rich and deep flavor . The best tapas of them all was the octupus which was crisp flavorful and richly flavored . The garlic shrimp was good with a good mix of garlic in it . The spicy lamb tapas was excellent as well , so was the patatas bravas and the scallops . There was hardly anything that we ordered which was not 6 + on the scale of 10 . Probably not a very kids friendly menu , might be my only criticism but over all a great experience . Love it that this place is just around the corner. The service was A+ and our server Joseph was extremely helpful even though it was his first day there . read more

What. A. Meal. My wife and I opted for the chef's tasting menu and wine pairing, which we don't normally do, but it was totally the right call -- truly amazing experience (and value!). Not a weak dish or glass in the bunch. We'd been to the Amada Old City location several times over the years but hadn't tried the Radnor spot since moving to the 'burbs and honestly thought the food was somehow better?? The meats and cheeses were so savory; boquerones so fresh; pulpo and steak both grilled to perfection; and the salmon with that saffron was mouth watering. Matt the beverage manager was also spot on with his wine selections making each course incredibly well rounded. Wait staff was super friendly and accommodating too, allowing us to even hand pick 1-2 of the selections which not all places will do. Will definitely go back again! read more

Great to see a classic establishment like Amada open in Radnor and save me the 1 hour drive into Philly. Now I can get my Iberico and tapas fix locally, yay! read more

Most dishes we were recommended to order were too salty. I still believe the Amada in Philly has better food. However we enjoyed everything else including the service and the seating. read more

Great tapas experience. My husband and I studied abroad for a semester in Spain and we felt such nostalgia trying all our old favorites here. Croquetas and gambas ajillo were faves! We found it to be very authentic. The service was great and we will be back! read more

Amada - Mojito - Spanish Near Me - Wayne, Pennsylvania

Incredibly accommodating and tasty time to celebrate my college graduation. Matt was especially kind and attentive to my party of 7 who really do not get out much. He recommended the tasting menu and it was a great choice. There was really something for everyone and we all left stuffed and happy (even my grandma who frankly, is not open to trying new things found herself enjoying the meal). Thanks to Amada Radnor for providing a welcoming environment that is great for large parties and people of all ages in a beautiful setting. I'd be happy to return to try new surprises. :) read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! The food was served cold and undercooked (burger was requested well done, served near raw; chicken was completely undercooked; french toast was a mix of cold and lukewarm). The food took a long time to come out (30min to an hour). The server and ambiance were good though. read more

I will say it is a beautiful place. However, my daughter was served RAW chicken, my husband burger was also gravely undercooked, my son's meal was cold, and my elderly mother was the last one served...almost 30 minutes after everyone else. My nephew is nauseous and thinks it is food poisoning. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Everything is absolutely delicious from the sangria to every single dish to the service. Top restaurant in the mainline.

Really cute place in Wayne. Atmosphere is perfect for a day. Sat at the bar and got two apps and a drink. The service was great. Only lost a star IMO because I love potatoes bravos and I really wish I loved these ones! They need to be a little crisper and then they'd be excellent. read more

Food is always top notch. There was a slight issue with one of the specials but not a big deal. Server and GM were super apologetic. Comped the dish and offered dessert on the house (which we politely declined). Their response was what separates true professionals from those who go through the motions. read more

Great ambience - love the decor and atmosphere. Enjoyed everything we tried. The standouts were the lamb turnover, truffle croquettes and crab stuffed peppers. Do yourself a favor and get the crème caramel. read more

We came for happy hour and it was packed! The prices were great but it was a little chaotic. Nonetheless Atasha took such good care of us! We will definitely be back but mostly for the wonderful bartenders :) read more

We were 3 at dinner.We Had been to Amada in center city, with other People, and each time enjoyed the restaurant. We were looking forward to Amada in St. David's. How disappointing. Every aspect! Menu, service and noise level were all substandard. What a waste!!!!! will never return. Not the same Amada--not even close! read more

Not ready for prime time yet! My expectations were high since I've eaten at Amada in Philly. The service was terrible ( slower than slow), and the food overcooked. This was not a good experience. I hope with time they can get it together. read more

Birthday dinner! Lively place with a very nice and attentive waiter. Food was good and small plates perfect for sharing

Celebrated a birthday at Amada, Bruce was our server. From start to finish our experience was fantastic. If this is how smoothly its running the first week, I have very high hopes for this place! We will be back. read more

Something very strange happened. I had posted a rather detailed review of Amada Radnor near the end of May. Now, it has suddenly disappeared from Yelp! (It was that review which was the start of my entire experience with this restaurant; an experience which has been very weird.) In my original post, I stated that the food was very good, but the attitudes of several of the staff were sorely in need of improvement. In response to that post, a manager contacted me and invited me to return at no charge. I thought it was a very nice gesture; however, when I went to contact him again to book my return reservation, as he requested, he completed ignored my communications. No responses - period. Strange, no? Why make the offer in the first place? I then decided to contact Jose Garces to inform him of what had happened. My letter addressed to him at his corporate office was returned to me stamped "Addressee Unknown!" I then re-sent the letter to his attention at the center city Amada location. That was several weeks ago - and to this day, no response! If it hadn't happened to me personally, I would have never believed it! Anyway, needless to say, this is not a place to which I will ever return - even if it were free. I can't believe that this is the way that they do business. Why offer someone something in the first place if you have no intention of keeping your word? I wish Jose Garces the best, but I hope he makes a few changes in the way he and his staff respond to customers. read more

Accidentally made our reservation for the Philly location but Radnor was still able to accommodate upon arrival. The food was great. My husband and I ordered 7 small plates to share and it was just enough for both of us. Standouts were the crab stuffed peppers and the iberico pork skewers. The calamari was a little chewy for my liking but flavor was still good. They treat the paprika aioli like Frank's red hot sauce and put that sh*t on everything but it's fine because it's SO good. Drinks were a little disappointing even though they were strong. The mojito lacked lime and I wish my gin drink was muddled to help infuse the strawberries into the drink. However the gin drink was HUGE so it's probably the best bang for your buck. They also comped our dessert since it was my birthday. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Amada and can't wait to go back! read more

This was a incredible restaurant. Great addition to the neighborhood. All food is cooked on. Wood-burning grills and charcoal. Squid appetizer was delicious. Wagyu steak was amazing. Lamb turnovers were delicious. Looking forward to coming back to this restaurant. The waiter could not be more attentive. Save room for dessert almond brittle ice cream very delicious. read more

We ate here recently and were extremely disappointed! The food was terrible and the service was bad. Don't waste your money. If you remember the Amada in Old City, this is not it. Do not eat here!!! They've dumbed down the food, flavors and ingredients to the point where nothing of note is left. The decor felt sad. The waiter stacked all of our plates right in front of me, so I had to lean back out the way to keep from getting food on me. My cocktail was so overly sweet, I couldn't drink it. I could go on, what's the point. I have nothing good to say about this restaurant. Such a shame because we used to love Amada. Stay clear of this one. read more

The pulpo, calimari, gambas and albondigas were all outstanding - flavorful and delicious - and the Flamenco music and dancing were fantastic. Great service too on cozy patio outside. Such a moving and memorable night can't wait to go back! read more

Food and service are generally very good. Atmosphere is OK, different than the city location. One of the few good restaurants on the mainline. Salads, paella, and pork dish are good choices. All appetizers and small plates have been good. read more

Came on a whim. Food was incredible. Shannyn was a wonderful waitress. Very personable and knowledgeable. Definitely will be back.

I was very impressed - delicious food, beautiful decor, and attentive service. We sat outside in the lovely enclosed patio. We shared an assortment of tapas and the chicken/rabbit paella, and everything was excellent! I was with a party of 4, and everyone loved every dish that came out. Will definitely be returning! read more

Wanted to try the new Radnor location after having dined at the original Old City years ago and not wanting to venture into the city this time. It was also our first anniversary. We were adventurous and went for the chef's tasting. It seemed like a lot of money but it turned out to be a three course meal, including a variety of tapas (from meats and cheeses to garlic shrimp and lentils with lamb), two entrees, and two desserts. Other than the fish entree (neither of us are huge fish eaters), there wasn't a miss to be found. The service is extremely friendly but clearly still has a few bumps. Our sangria pitcher had a bug in it that came out with a glass. It was promptly replaced with a second complimentary pitcher. A novice food runner also sent us a second meat/cheese platter meant for another table. The pace of service varied and seemed a bit rushed at the end. They did send us complimentary cava to toast our anniversary at the end. The reason for the docked star is the credit card surcharge, which you only find out about at arrival. Given most people around here use cards to pay, it is an unwelcome surprise and the restaurant should really raise prices so people know what they're paying when they order. read more

Outstanding food, service & ambiance. 5 stars all the way. Managers & entire staff go above and beyond. Just go you won't regret it!!

Service is fabulous but our food was luke warm or cold. Went for lunch and spent $215 without tip---mediocre food and way overpriced... 6 cold shrimp on a skewer and 6 pieces of skirt steak which was lukewarm...Had the coquettes which were good but lukewarm, potatas again cold. Had the salad with the serrano ham 4 glasses of wine Wine was really good--Service was outstanding but I would not go back--I can cook just as good at home--My husband is a cook trained in France. PS This was for two read more

lovely meal and atmosphere. Ate at the bar Pork and endive were delicious. Bartender shannyn had great recommendation.

Food was salty. It was very loud. There was a sign at the check in area that said a 3% charge would be included for credit cards but not for cash and debit. We paid with a debit card and was still charged 3%. When questioned, the server said they add 3% charge for any type of card used, even debit. Wtf. What kind of establishment does that?! read more

Food was underwhelming. Ambiance is that of a steakhouse, not a Spanish restaurant. I expected it to be similar to Amada downtown - not at all. read more

The Food and our Server Thaddeus were great. We especially loved the albondigas and the sangria's.

Really nice atmosphere. Our waiter and waitress were very attentive and explained the menu and answered our questions. Our food was brought out pretty quickly, however they brought different items out at different times. We were very impressed with the food. In particular, the chicken skewers and the bacon wrapped dates were very good! We all enjoyed the meal and are looking forward to coming back again with the whole family. read more

If like a terribly noisy restaurant with $17 cocktails you will be in the right place. The food is tasty for sure, but we really did not care for the place. read more

Service was impeccable as our server knew the menu inside and out and was friendly without being overbearing. He even casually mentioned that we should take our time as essentially he was not looking to flip the table. Food was excellent. Some were better than others but really just a matter of personal preference rather than the execution of the dish. We sat in the bar area and it was lively which was a plus for the suburban venue. If wanted quieter probably sit in the dining area? read more
