Ambar buzzes, especially at happy hour, when the convivial, European-style restaurant slings heaps of small plates. Roasted pepper and eggplant, smoked trout and jalapeño, mushroom pilaf, lamb prosciutto, brandy-soaked mussels – intriguing Balkan dishes hit the table one after the other to be shared between friends. Serbian beer, Moldovan whites and Bulgarian reds flow in copious quantities alongside.
Many diners take advantage of Ambar's $49 deal for unlimited small plates and selected drinks.
