    Amar is a beautiful restaurant with delicious Lebanese food in the heart of Delray. Service was great! Food and drinks delicious. I definitely reccomend Plenty of vegetarian dishes

    Hummus was great very smooth and pita bread was warm didn't give a home made pita bread vibe tho but none the less very good. The bieroor drink was tasty and very well pairs with the mescal. Rakakat was like a fancy cheese stick it tasted great & of course the star of the show the lamb chops so good. Didn't even need the sauce it came with on the side cooked to perfection !

    This was my second time visiting Amar, and it did not disappoint. I brought friends to enjoy their Habibi Hour, which runs from 4-6 p.m. and offers 50% off select mezze, cocktails, and wine. It's such a great deal, and the menu has plenty of options--every one of them flavorful and delicious. We arrived a little after 5:00 and ordered at the bar. The cosmos and espresso martinis were fantastic, and the dehydrated fruit garnish is a really nice touch. I asked for a table so we could sit comfortably while enjoying our food, and we were seated quickly. Our server, Dimitri, was friendly, attentive, and checked on us consistently. We never waited long for the next round of appetizers, and everything came out hot and well-seasoned. We shared the fried kibbeh, classic hummus, falafel, rakakat, chankleesh, and Rocca Beet salad. Every dish was excellent, but the rakakat with the crispy phyllo dough was a standout for me. The hummus was also amazing. Another great experience at Amar--I can't wait to go back!

    Warning: May cause immediate craving for mezze While vacationing in Boca had to go check out Amar and so thankful we did because it was incredible! Kafta Halabi, Baba Ghanouj, Kibbeh Naye, Fresh Homemade Pita paired along with mocktails of Mint To Be & Date Escape was just the most perfect dinner! The service was so sweet and helpful with the recommendations, even got to meet the owner who was so kind and definitely will be coming back to try more dishes:) even got a show with the belly dancer that came out after dinner it was truly an experience:)

    My husband took me here for our anniversary dinner, and this was our first time visiting Amar Mediterranean Kitchen. They've done a great job transforming the space--I barely recognized it from when it used to be Mellow Mushroom. The decor is elevated, elegant, and creates a lovely dining atmosphere. Atmosphere: 4/5 Our waitress was friendly, but almost too familiar, calling us "lovey" throughout the evening, which felt a bit over the top. Service: 3/5 We ordered the Amar Mix Grill, which is listed at $100 and meant to be shared between two people. While the overall flavor was good, the portion didn't feel suitable for two. The lamb chops in particular were disappointing--very little actual meat and mostly fat and gristle. For the price point, we expected better quality and a more satisfying dish. Food: 3/5 Overall, the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, but the food quality and value didn't quite meet our expectations for a special occasion.

    Gorgeous restaurant with great food and staff! We had Sara M serving a large group of us and had a great night! She made great recommendations and was helpful with coordinating a birthday dessert! We really enjoyed sharing the Amar Mixed Grill which had a bunch of meats all on one platter (pretty expensive though). Happy hour is 4-6, half price mezze small plates and $6-9 cocktails

    First off I will say the ambiance and the staff here are amazing. The service is great they are attentive friendly and well informed on the testy and the menu which I loved cause I could ask them all about the menu and get and actual honest answer. The food was fresh and delicious each meal that came was purely delicious I loved the hummus and the dessert was truly yummy with the rose water poured on top. They have indoor and outdoor seating this is a great spot for happy hour, ladies night or date night you can even come here for dinner or lunch with your family but the night time dinner vibes are truly a nice intimate vibe. I look forward to coming back soon!

    Attended an event at Amar and was pleasantly surprised at the ambiance and service. The restaurant is warm and inviting. The bar for the event was busy yet the bartender was extremely friendly and fast. I had a signature gin drink and they had many pass around hors d'oeuvres as samples from their menu. The general manager made a point to connect with everyone.

    We had a great dining experience at the bar. My favorites were the dolmas and the steak kebobs. The bartender was attentive and friendly.

    Where to begin? This place is top-notch from start to finish. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and has such a great vibe. The food is next level! We started with a few of the mezzes and you really can't go wrong with any of them. Highly recommend the meat platter as it has a little bit of everything and every bite was incredible!

    Rice and sauces were the best part of this $100 dish.

    I really wanted to love this place. The decor is beautiful and the menu feels thoughtfully curated, but the experience didn't match the price point. Our waitress was somewhat friendly, but "somewhat" isn't enough when you're spending this kind of money. Service should feel polished and attentive, not just passable. Another restaurant with mandatory gratuity, which unfortunately seems to remove any incentive to provide actual service. The final straw was being handed takeout containers and told to pack up my own leftovers. For a $400 dinner, that's honestly absurd. It completely cheapens the entire experience. Beautiful space, decent concept, but the service falls far short of what they're charging. I wouldn't return.

    Moved in 2024? Around the corner to much larger place vacated by "A1?" Bar. Similar menu but much larger and relaxed premises. Opens at 4-7 with really good happy hour. Half price drinks and most of the menu. We had five starters including great humus and harvarti but really everything great. As before intelligent and pleasant waitress who was knowledgeable on recommendations and quick. Son of owner was host and the place looks clean and generally upbeat. It used to be great and now even better particularly at happy hour. The suspicion is they reduce the portions on half price menu but we had plenty to eat and took home some for tomorrow. The waitress threw in 2 extra wonderful pits.

    Went to La Vie and had a great experience. We went to this place randomly after wanting to try some…read moreauthentic Mediterranean food. The first thing we noticed, which was a bit unexpected, was the decor. The ambiance was really nice and inviting. This is the type of restaurant where someone could host a party. The service was really good too. We received water almost immediately after being seated, and our server came by shortly after. The manager stopped by throughout our visit to provide recommendations, and he was really nice. It made the experience feel more personal. For our appetizer, we ordered the Baba Ghannouj, which complemented the pita bread really well. It was our first time having it, and we did not know what to expect, but it was great. It was really flavorful, and we finished it wanting more. For our entrees, we had the Lamb Chops and the Seafood Tagine. The lamb chops were great. It was not a huge portion, but the meat was flavorful and cooked well. The presentation was also really nice. The Seafood Tagine looked great, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. Everything about the dish worked well together, and we felt that all the flavors complemented one another. There was a good harmony between the ingredients. For dessert, we ordered the Kunafa, which was another first for us. We had never had it before, but the description really sold us on it. It was really good. This is the kind of dessert that is best shared since it is a little heavy. Toward the end of our visit, a belly dancer came out to perform, and it was really exciting. La Vie is a great restaurant, and we will definitely return. We felt as though we got a true Mediterranean experience during our visit.

    I went here on a double date and had a great time. Our waiter recommended a great Arab wine we'd…read morenever heard of before, chateau reserve gold, so that was nice to try. We started with batata harra and cheese bulak. Both were great! The potatoes in the batata harra were very well seasoned and flavorful. The cheese bulak was good but might be a little off putting if your not use to mintiness in your cheese. A belly dancer came out and went around to all the tables and really engaged with everyone. For our entrees we got chicken tagine and lamb chops. I must say the lamb chops were phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I definitely recommend getting them medium. All in all if you're looking for something different definitely go check it out!
