A Nice Place to Go
I had read quite a few bad reviews of Ambiente so I was a little nervous. I went on Jan 3, 2009. If you call ahead (and get there before 10:30), you can get on the guest list and only pay $5. I called but didn't need to do this because we ended up having dinner there first. I had the chicken mole enchiladas and my friend had the sea bass. Both meals were very good. I had asked for no onions but got them anyway. I complimented the server on the fresh cactus and he went back to the kitchen to bring me more. The music started about 9:00 but people didn't dance until 10:30. The DJ was ok but couldn't finish a song - too bad because the music was good. The smoking "patio" (really an enclosed room) would be good for dancing except for the smoke and the fire in the middle (it was too hot in there). The drinks were good (mojitos and margaritas). The waiters / servers were very friendly and helpful. I saw the bouncers walking around but didn't see them being rude or anything. This is a perfectly find place to go out with a friend. Not a great place to pick up on someone new.
