Flavorful, but still plenty of fun. Succulent, but not too serious. At Ambler, we believe the best wedding menus strike a balance between poised and playful.
Private party facilities
Offering one-of-a-kind views of San Antonio River, Ambler’s private dining space is an unmatched setting for get-togethers on the Riverwalk. To book our private dining room or discuss our limited/preset menu options, call an Ambler team member at (210) 298-8040.

Food and drinks were amazing. Huge portions. Our server was fantastic as well and did everything in his power to make our dinner enjoyable. It was a colder evening and the servers that were attending to the patrons in the outdoor section kept leaving the door open to the indoor seating area which made it extremely uncomfortable. I was cold most of the time. Outside of this, it was a great dinner.

This was my fourth time at Ambler. The food is always great, but the service varies every night and depending on the waiter. This one was the worst! The manager wasn’t available either. Kudos tor the food and drinks, but the waiter and the time waiting for drinks, appetizers and main course are unacceptable.

My meal came with fries, didn't order fries, steak or as dry. Had to wait for potatoes. Wife had red snapper, was cold in the middle. We sent it back. Sioux chef brought her a new piece which was nice. She cut into it. It was raw again. Made an excuse it was a thick piece of fish. It's on their regular menu. I forgot my coat on my chair called 15 later and the didn't seem to care. Would not take my phone number. Service was incredible, Bellamy our server was great. Overall this was a very poor experience. Won't do it again

Our Valentines dinner was perfect in every regard! Francisco our server was attentive, the food was delicious and the ambiance ( fireside) was exquisite. They even provided the ladies with a rose. After dinner a rousing Mexican band was playing. Couldn’t have put together a better evening!

Sunday's only have 1 bruncheon-style menu! Choose the double stacked burger and Ham & Swiss ~ well-portioned and deliciously prepared. Our tab was $38 for both. Drinks are ridiculously expensive. Sit outside along the Riverwalk directly across from Lover's Island for people and duck watching.
