• Tapas / Small Plates • Amarillo
Booked 6 times today
Contrary to what most think, the word tapas actually means "to cover". Rooted as a tradition in Spanish culture, socializing patrons of restaurants would cover their wine glasses with small plates to protect their beverages from insects and small pests while outdoors. At Savor, we pay homage to this ritual in our own unique way. The urban and chic atmosphere invites locals to step outside Amarillo for an evening and into another place entirely. With an urban, speakeasy vibe, Savor welcomes its patrons to sit comfortably at the bar or in a cozy booth next to the floor to ceiling windows.

    I really liked Cellar 55. I had the Cellar Salad which was sweet and perfectly proportionate to my entree. I had the 14 ounce Ribeye that was cooked to nearly perfection, good sear on each side, just hair more medium than the medium rare I ordered. I would have liked a little more dry rub on the steak, but that’s more of a personal preference than a slight on this steak. The steak came with mashed potatoes and roasted Brussel sprouts that were cooked perfectly. I was by myself, but it’s definitely an experience for quiet dinner for two or more.

    We found Cask & Cork about a year ago when traveling and decided to go again on our latest overnight trip to Amarillo. The food was very good, my wife had the shrimp Diablo and I had ravioli and both were very good. They have a nice selection of wines and we were able to sample a few before selecting. The wait staff member we had was really good and very friendly. We were impressed that the manager checked to insure we were enjoying our meal.
