NOW CLOSED...Formerly: Ambria will make you sit up straight and hold your martini glass just so. Yes, it’s that posh, and the atmosphere is nothing short of inspiring. Fresh flowers and delicate lamps sit atop crisp white tablecloths offset by dark wood floors, banquettes and chairs. Ambria offers a variety of plates as well as classic, shellfish and vegetarian degustation menus.
Degustation menus feature tastings rather than traditional courses, with dishes like shrimp ravioli with ginger chive beurre blanc, pheasant pate, and apricot tart with lavender ice cream. The classic and shellfish dinners cost $75; the vegetarian is priced at $65. If you’re not looking for a prix-fixe experience, fish, game and main plates cost $29-$36, with a “for two” main plate at $88. Ambria also offers small plates for small appetites as well as soups, salads and an extensive dessert and sorbet menu.
