The tasting menu seemed to go on and on, in a good way. A very good way. Began with extremely subtle, delicate sardines. An excellent green salad with chopped asparagus, fava beans, string beans and avocado, with just the right amount of crunch. A cheese plate that was unusually good--especially the manchego with truffle-oil infused lavender honey that my wife... more

Great restaurant in the Old City. Very crowded even in the middle of the week, we thought straight away it meant the food must be good. They serve the best sangria, and the food was sonice and kept coming all night. It is served as the chef cooks it, with allowed us to try a bit of everything at a... more

We made a reservation a week advance for my birthday. We had been here once before and had a great time. This time around, we waited at the bar for our table since we were a bit early.

We celebrated a special occasion at Amada in October 2009. They have nice variety of tapas on the menu, along with a great selection of cocktails, wines and beers. I especially enjoyed the tuna-stuffed peppers, flatbreads, and the clams with chorizo. If you are dining with a group, it is fun for everyone to order a few plates and then... more
