    The food was very good. Service was good. Bathrooms were very clean. The noise of the restaurant was challenging, making it hard to have conversation. We might go again.

    A reliably good tapas place in Philadelphia's old city. We were a party of five. We ordered double portions of each of five tapas dishes, plus a couple of appetizers. More than enough food, which we all enjoyed I have only one quibble and one complaint. The quibble is that there were very few non-tapas, whole meal selections -- I suppose a diner interested in a single dish for a full meal should go elsewhere. The complaint is the deafening noise level -- not due to the proximity of the bar but to the restaurant's choice to have an uncovered floor and uncovered table. The noise from ordinary conversations just bounces around and magnifies itself against the completely unnecessary background "music." Oh well. A great restaurant for those who aren't bothered by not being able to hear their tablemates talk!

    Very good experience, we showed up with 4 adults and 4 kids (surprisingly they were cool with young children being there, even though we were not their target demographic) and had great food and drinks!

    The service was wonderful and the food was in abundance and fantastic! We were eight of us for Saturday for brunch and got the family style brunch. There so much food for the price and the food was delicious. We had a wonderful time. The only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that it was very loud in the restaurant, but I would still highly recommend Amada.
