Amber Restaurant & Gallery, Tucson, Arizona Restaurant Details

Food:

This terrible review is about the OWNER!
What kind of restauranteur sneaks out in the middle of the night and deserts his staff and landlord.
This place has been closed for 3 months, and the phone still rings, and the website is still up. The Google info even will say "Open today".
Christ, man... get your act together, and at least close the website so hungry folks do not drive across town to learn that you skipped out on your rent!

Food:

Actually stopped at this restaurant once and peeked in the door. We thought the bar was it and it appeared dark and deserted so we left. Some months later we purchased a Groupon for it and thought we'd try again. It turned out the restaurant is in the back of the bar (in a separate room) in a very attractive dining room with art work and soft music. Very pleasing overall. We were delighted with the menu choices, many of which on can't find in Mexican restaurant-oriented Tucson. I ordered the Polish Sampler and enjoyed it very much. My husband ordered the schnitzel and also was pleased. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We have returned since and have not been disappointed.

Food:

....As much as I would like this place to replace the Polish mother I never had, I could probably make better food with a microwave.
Which actually may be what lil Amber uses in most of their cooking.
I went once and it was OK,
But when I went back for lunch it was pretty disgusting. I got the stuffed cabbage and the meat inside was actually cold, like frozen-in-the-center-wasn't-warmed-in-the-­microwave-enough cold.
So unless your really strapped for cash and have an immunity to e.coli, I don't recommend it

Food:

Was taken to dinner @ Amber restaurant as a Christmas gift. My friend ordered white borscht which she enjoyed, I had the cream of asparagus soup which was salty with no identifiable asparagus taste. My friend had duck which she requested to be crispy and it came completely black, the skin. She said it was so hard she couldn't cut thru it. I ordered the Hungarian Goulash which was served inside a potato pancake like a taco. It was ok but again quite salty. The atmosphere was sort of cold, stark might be a better word. Our waiter was quite pleasant + attentive and the bread and butter was good. I unfortunately wouldn't go back due to the disappointing food.

Food:

An absolutely phenonmenal experience. Nice, soft music, an excellent attentive waitress and wonderfully delicious food. Superb atmosphere. A great value. I could not have been more pleased.
