That Oolong tea infused prawn is a scam. No scent of tea at all. Just regular prawn. That's a…read moredisappointment, because we love their packaging and their recent expansion of their menu (very innovative!) Now, their kung pao tofu is delicious, and the vegetarian fried rice is tasty. For each dish they give you a tiny box of white rice. Unlike most Chinese restaurants that give you a generous portion of rice, their portion is tiny. Baby sized. Not that we need more rice; just an observation. Take out orders come in a fancy durable reusable bag (a plus) and fancily packaged utensils. The experience feels like a feast. Bourbon chicken is good but wow the chunks are so huge, making them difficult to eat with chopsticks. Typically in Chinese cuisine, chicken is cut to smaller bite-sized pieces to make it intuitive for chopstick users. Bourbon chicken is heavily breaded (just FYI) Soup dumplings still good as usual; their lamb dumplings are also great.

It took us about 5 minutes for a table to clear out and luckily it was big enough for our party of 5. We ended up ordering our drinks and food at the bar when we noticed it was going to take a while for someone to actually get to our table. After about 20 minutes our chicken, chorizo and carne asada tacos came out. For the specials they had going out, it was a great deal! $8 house margaritas $4.50 for carne asada I think $3.00 for chicken? We ended up getting almost 20 tacos, 8 margs and two shots and we had a great time! Shout out to the bar tenders that were popping out drinks as quickly as they could!

Tattes are scattered about the DMV, but my first visit to one was here in Clarendon on a Saturday…read moreafternoon. Tatte was busy with just about every table taken. Ambience was lively. We were craving something sweet and dessert-like and many options were available here. The cherry pistachio cake and pecan rose bun were appealing and beautifully presented so we went for them. But how they actually turned out was a different matter. They tasted just fine but were incredibly dry. We were disappointed. I was curious about one thing, and that is if you're allowed to carry open containers of alcohol beverages in public places in Clarendon. I saw a sign just outside Tatte that said you had to walk in the crosswalk if you had alcohol.

That thoughtfulness is one of the many reasons I was excited to try it. When we arrived, I was initially concerned after learning that the "G" on the menu indicated dishes **containing** gluten rather than being gluten-free. Since many menu items were marked with a "G," I worried my options would be very limited, especially for the unlimited brunch experience. Thankfully, our server, Emma, immediately put me at ease. She brought me the food allergy menu, answered my questions with patience, and made sure I understood what was safe for me to enjoy. While my husband and I were deciding whether to stay, the manager, Antonio, came to our table after Emma shared my dietary concerns. His kindness completely changed the experience. He took the time to explain my options, offered to have the kitchen modify several dishes, and reassured me that their goal was for me to feel safe and enjoy my meal. Thanks to Emma and Antonio, what started with uncertainty became one of the most enjoyable brunch experiences I've had. I was able to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes, the mimosas were a great value, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. What I'll remember most, though, is how genuinely cared for I felt. Before we left, Antonio stopped by one last time to make sure I was happy with my meal and that all of my needs had been met. My husband had put so much love and intention into choosing this restaurant, and thanks to Emma and Antonio, we both left with happy hearts and full bellies. If you have food intolerances or dietary restrictions, I hope this review gives you confidence to visit Ambar. Their team didn't just accommodate my needs. They made me feel welcome, respected, and cared for. That's the kind of hospitality that earns five stars from me.
