After having read some reviews, I made reservations for a special dinner here with friends. We came…read morewhen they opened at 8 PM, and since that doesn't align with the typical Spanish dinner schedule, we had the place all to ourselves.
First of all, the views. While it is a bit of a drive and it feels like you're going up into the mountains to get here, it is well worth it. The hotel did a great job of laying out the restaurant so that the views are unforgettable.
Our funny and friendly server offered recommendations and kept us smiling throughout the evening. Throughout the evening, it felt like she was an old friend we had know. For years. Menus were available in Spanish and English. Other servers would also appear to sweep away finished plates.
I ordered the lamb shoulder (#weakness for lamb) and it was delicious, tender, and was the first dish on this particular trip that made me do my happy food dance. Yes, I have a dance, or more like a happy food shimmy. I tried a bit of my friend's duck, which was also lovely, especially the sauce.
We shared the pineapple dessert, which was an atypical preparation that I really enjoyed. The sauce was a nice touch.
I would totally go back to Amador again!
