We stopped for lunch after our Central Park Walking Tour and really enjoyed the food. We sampled sushi, and some of the lunch specials. A little pricy for lunch ($60 for 4), but hey, it's the west side of Manhattan, so I didn't really expect to pay any less for a nice sit-down restaurant. More

We tried the spicy tuna avocado salad, duck spring rolls and crispy chicken, and they were all good. The decoration is pleasant. This restaurant is a solid option if you are in the area. More

From the outside it looks like an average American diner, however quite a lot of effort has been put into creating a laungey atmosphere inside. I'm not too sure how to describe this restaurant.. The sushi that we had didn't wow me, but it wasn't bad either. The service was definitely friendly and pleasant, but not very attentive as we... More

The food is pretty decent and my co-workers like eating for lunch. The lunch menu is not bad but I've never had dinner there. I've also never tried their sushi but I don't usually eat sushi unless it's an authentic Japanese or Korean restaurant. My favorite is the Phad Thai. It's very tasty and food is good. Give yourself plenty... More

Although the food was just average, the atmosphere here made for a nice outing. Large room in the back fits large parties nicely. More

My husband & I were in NYC for first time. After a morning exploring Central Park, we decided to look for some place for lunch. We just started walking into the neighborhood and happened upon Amber. We had a very good lunch, at a good price, with good service. They had several well priced lunch specials and we were delighted... More

Dimtiri and Hamid welcome us back week after week. We have been going for over a year and truly enjoy not only the fantastic service and food, but the wonderful neighborhood vibe! Don't miss the Toro Lounge and Pad Thai. The pinot gris but the glass by Hugel is the perfect wine to pair with the entire menu. Even vegans... More

In this neighborhood near Lincoln Center, Amber is a welcome relief from all the pre-theatre, prix-fixe fare...broiled baby ribs, spicy tuna with greens, gado gado were all very good, as well as the tuna and eel maki were all very good. No complaints, and would be happy to return for another meal before the opera. More
