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. They FORGOT ABOUT US! When we reminded them we were waiting, they seated us at a horrible row of tables for two.... more

Ate here with three other people. The wait staff was patient and helpful in advising us on menu choices. Food tasted very good. I ate at Alma de Cuba the night before and found the atmosphere and the food quality and presentation superior to Amada, although not by a large margin. Also, I found the portion sizes at Amada smaller... more

Amada is the best restaurant in Philadelphia, the food is amazing, the service is friendly and efficient. Get the crab stuffed piquillo peppers, wow. The octopus is the better than Babbo in NY. Drinks are interesting and fun. Sangria is always a good option as they have multiple selections of it. more

My husband and I went here for lunch on a recent trip, I was looking forward to it because I love tapas, but it was a big let down for me. We walked past one night, and it was really jumping so it may be better in the evening, but lunch was very quiet, and it had a very stuffy/pretentious... more

We had heard rave reviews about Amada and had made a reservation for dinner for 3 peope. When we show up, they tell us we need to wait for 10 minutes (?!). After 25 (!)minutes a waitress says that there are no tables available and would we mind sitting at the chef's bar (so you can look into the kitchen,... more

Four of us dined at Amada tonight during restaurant week. What a wonderful experience. Everything was delicious. Every time we thought the food couldn't get any better, the next dish topped the last. We all split different tapas, and we all loved each dish. Even my hubby who is a very picky eater loved everything. Great variety, nice ambiance, and... more
