AMBAR Restaurant, Chicago - Chicago (IL)

5 /5 Sy W: Amazing brunch experience! There was a very kind and friendly female server at the bar. I forgot to ask for her name but just wanna give her a big shout out for the friendly service she provided! Overall food was amazing, served in small plates. Easy for sharing. Pita bread was super fresh, came out hot and delicious. Christmas decorations were absolutely stunning and pretty. Got popular very soon for brunch on a Sunday and servers DO need to check in more. It took us a while to order food every time just because how busy it got. We also upgraded to premium unlimited drinking menu which was more like meh. All drinks were premade. Nothing special. My favorite was the kiwi smash. Street parking was easy to find.

5 /5 황정원: Had brunch here with my family and it was amazing! The best Balkan food I’ve had in Chicago. Everything was super tasty and the portions were generous and we got to enjoy our favorite dishes a few times! Left feeling full and happy. Totally recommend this spot if you want to try something special in Chicago!

5 /5 Zoe Christenson: From the moment you walk in, the energy hits ... warm, vibrant... The space feels intimate yet buzzing, perfect for date night or a celebratory dinner with friends. The food? Unreal. Every dish is packed with bold Balkan flavors, beautifully plated, and meant to be shared (which makes it dangerously easy to keep ordering). The small plates let you try everything without commitment, and honestly… I didn’t want the night to end. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the pacing of the meal felt thoughtful and intentional. It’s one of those places where you can tell care goes into every detail If you’re looking for a restaurant that feels special but still fun, elevated but not stuffy . . Ambar is it. Easily one of my favorite dining experiences in Chicago.
