    I love Ambar in Clarendon! It never disappoints. No wonder they are always the highest rated brunch in the Northern VA area. The restaurant is beautiful, great for small or large groups, the staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. I have celebrated multiple birthday's at this location (including most recent one this past November), had dinner with my family, and HHs with friends. You can't go wrong with Ambar in Clarendon! Highly recommend visiting this location, and eventually making your way to their other locations too :)

    Made an easy enough reservation online, the day before. Only had bar seating left, which was actually listed with reserved plaques when we arrived Restaurant is about a block away from eastern market metro. Street parking. $36+ unlimited tapas style plates. You can order as many plates as you want. They are kind of sample size, but very filling. Two drink options. Unlimited regular mimosas (various flavors) for $12 -OR- the same regular unlimited mimosas AND cocktails and other non alcoholic drinks I literally had the full menu of regular mimosas lol. My friend had a lemongrass or something cocktail the entire time, and loved them! We were seated at the bar and Courtney was our bartender. He was Amazing! The receipt comes out a little wonky, like it isn't exactly itemized, but it does come up to the price total as listed on the menu. We were told , its done that way to capture the cost of the drinks ..... This is not really a "turn up" spot. A mixed crowd, everyone had a good time tho! I don't recall if music was playing, but I was so busy catching up with my good friend. Such a lovely time!
