    To go cups
    Jan Y.

    I love the Amphora lounge! Gold and up gets you in here, Noir you don't needs to stand in line nor pay entry, but for Gold and Platinum it's $12.50 in comps pp. each member can bring 1 extra guest per visit. No you can't pay cash if you out of comp dollars, only comp dollars accepted. Tip the wait staff they are absolutely great and always aiming to please. The unlimited top shelf drinks are fab and keeps me coming every time I'm at Borgata. The food isn't the best, it's a buffet after all, but is good enough to go with your 10/10 delicious drinks! Prime rib, shrimp cocktail, soups, salads are staples. The Buffet here is smaller than the reg Buffet upstairs, but the food quality I find slightly better. Amphora lounge is 21 up and no children allowed, so it's much less hectic and relaxing atmosphere. The crowd is mixed, more retired folk, but I absolutely love it. I've met so many nice people here! From what I understand these lounges are less common from Casino heydays but there are still few around. I hear from the grapevine Amphora beats Hard Rock & Oceans VIP lounges but I don't know I haven't gone to those yet. Borgata treats me too well to leave! They also give you to go cups of whatever drinks should you ask! It's so much better than what you get at the tables. Good Luck everyone and Cheers to happy times at the Amphora!

    This is a club only for members with MGM status, so I felt special being able to come here. It's downstairs from the main floor, so no view, but it's an elegant lounge with buffet style food and unlimited alcoholic dreams. I got a pina colada and an Irish coffee when I had dessert. Compared to the main buffet it's much smaller but there was still a carving station, some tasty hot dishes, and quite a few cake/pie/cookie options for dessert. It's less chaotic because it's smaller scale, and the ambiance feels very upscale. It's a great place for lunch or dinner and to chill a bit between hitting the tables. If you do have status at other casinos in AC, see if Borgata still does status matching and give it a visit to get some comps. I think it's much nicer than the last time I went to the Caesar's lounge. Definitely a delicious and filling meal.

    Yassssss!!! If I could give this place a 10/10 I would. I really enjoyed this lounge. The fact that you could only indulge if you are a gold or platinum member was questionable, but I still enjoyed. Upon arrival we were greeted at the greeter's station which is upstairs from the restaurant. We went down the escalator and was seated. It's an all you can eat spot. They had some good food. Plenty of shrimp and carved meats. Their Mac and cheese was tasty as well. All you can drink (that includes alcohol). Our server was amazing. He tended to our every need. Came by plenty of times to ask if we needed anything. That was appreciated. I definitely look forward to going back to Amphora Lounge.

    Jumbo shrimp cocktail, delicious hot dog's. Hubby started w/ corn chowder then mahi-mahi, fried chicken, green beans, and fried rice.

    My absolute favorite players lounge! I've pretty much visited them all. Unless you have the top players card you need to have $12.50 comp dollars pp to get in. You are allowed yourself and 1 guest if you have a gold M Life Rewards card or above. We pretty much visit here every time we're in AC which is pretty often...lol They have a great selection! Jumbo shrimp cocktail is my favorite starter. They also have hot dogs w/ lots of toppings every day and that's another fan favorite. On the weekends they always have carved prime rib and another selection on the carving board. Then they have numerous other proteins like pork, chicken, or steak. They also have a fish selection then lots of sides. Usually mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac n cheese, fried rice, vegetable selections like green beans, cauliflower, sweet potatoes. Then they have some type of pizza selection that varies. Always soups and salads and a good amount of desserts. Plus it's open bar... They make delicious cosmos, and chocolate martinis. You can order whatever you want. Everything here is great! Just be sure to tip your server. If you can afford to get in here then you can afford to leave a tip... Don't be stingy! I have tons of pics from here so I just scrolled through my photos and I'll post some menus, some interior shots, and tons of food! Enjoy :)

    I always pop in here whenever I stay at the Borgata or Water club in Atlantic City. This lounge has a wide range of delicious foods & desserts. They also have a full service OPEN bar which is included with your entrance fee. The fee is not expensive if you earn comps-$25 for 2 adults. Servers/Busser's: all very hardworking and hospitable. Shari waited on me twice and she was consistently professional and always smiling. Some nights they have fried shrimp as well as cocktail shrimps at dinner time. During breakfast time they have an omelet station. Be sure to bring a tip for the cooks. There are tons of TV's posted on the wall and the space is HUGE.

    To get into the Amphora Lounge at Borgata you're required to have MGM's Gold players card. Each gold card holder is allowed to bring 1 guest and entry costs $12.50 comp dollars per person. The $12.50 includes buffet and unlimited drinks. The drinks are always good and the service is outstanding. I've been lucky enough that over the years my grandparents have always taken me to Amphora and we've developed friendly relationships with a handful of the servers. They're always friendly and accommodating. The food has been hit or miss. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's underwhelming, but for $12.50/person including drinks you cannot beat it. I always look forward to eating here when I visit borgata with my family.

    Glad to have the Amphora Lounge back downstairs at the Borgata! Buffet style and servers are friendly & attentive. Their prime rib is a must for me along with their Caesar salad and shrimp. Desserts are always a wide variety and I found a new favorite with their caramel crunch cake!

    Sweet dessert buffet action!

    Love this place. It's a lounge for Black card (and up) holders. There's a very decently-sized buffet (smaller than the main/upstairs one, but this still has some quality goodies). Another yuuuuuge plus side is that the drinks are all on the house - topshelf, more/less anything you want. Macallan? You got. Grey Goose Martini? Done. You can sit there, nosh, and keep the drinks coming...which is probably more winning than I'd do at the tables, so why rush? The staff also have some standout stars like Armando and Evilyn! Fantastic stuff, always a great time.

    Heard a lot good things about this place.. And always wanted to give it a try. You have to be their Gold card member and higher in order to go in to eat, plus $12.50 comp dollars. Finally I got a chance. It's like a buffet style, they give you a menu, mark what you want and the waiter will bring them to you. It's all you can eat unlimited. I start off with a Macallan, and then the waiter start bringing my food. Service is excellent, top shelf liquor and the food is really fresh & good. I wanted to go for second round, but my tummy said I need room for coffee and dessert.. The dessert is really good. I would come back again...

    Fried shrimp, cold shrimp, pasta salad, dinner roll, beef w/mushroom gravy, and mashed potatoes and gravy.

    Lovely lounge. It cost $12.50 in comp to enter. The waiter was attentive and checked back often to see if I needed a refill on my water or drink. Also, plates were whisked away in a timely manner. The buffet was very small but had plenty of options to choose from. I had a wonderful salad and some hot items. They made me a pistachio martini which was good. It was so pretty it got the attention of the lady sitting at the next table. We were both solo diners and struck up a conversation when she asked me what I was drinking. This review is long overdue and I'm embarrassed it took me so long to post about such an awesome experience. Someone in another review mentioned that the lounge is kind of drab and doesn't have a view. I must admit that there is no view but I'm not there for the view. I'm there for a quick meal and a cocktail. The service is really good, the staff is attentive, there is a nice selection of food and drinks. The plus is that I met a stranger who immediately became a friend after our dinner conversation and while we live about a thousand miles apart we stay in touch. I can't wait for me next trip to the Borgata so I can enjoy the Amphora Lounge and hang out with my NJ friend again.

Booths line the edges like polite sentries and the bar itself is lined with slot/video poker machines in case you feel like doubling your disappointment. I arrived with a party of four just 45 minutes before last call on a Tuesday. You would think that would be enough time for a few drinks and a few laughs. You would be wrong. There was a man in a suit behind the bar doing what I can only assume was performance art meant to mimic sabotage. There was a bar back who had the dazed expression of a man recently asked to name all the moons of Jupiter in alphabetical order. The bartender moved with the speed and confidence of a tortoise delivering bad news to a hungry bobcat. Service was a game of drink-by-drink roulette. He took our orders one at a time in the most literal sense. One person would speak. He would leave. He would return eventually with something resembling said dink. Another person would speak. He would leave again. Rinse. Repeat. We might have been speaking in code and he was off deciphering it at the opposite corner of the bar. The drinks were okay. Not good. Not bad. Okay. The menu was fun to look at though. They called them potions. In the VooDoo Lounge. How clever. It was the highlight of the visit and the only reason I gave them a second star. That and the fact that I did not actually die there. Oh and the prices. Nineteen dollars to sip Instragramable mediocrity from a glass shaped like regret.

    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.
