It does get busy but the good thing is this place is huge so you wont be waiting long unless they are understaffed. From the moment you sit the waiter is asking you if you want any drinks and if you ask for recommendations from the menu the waiter actually gives you some choices and opinions on menu items. The food quality is amazing. Like yeah its expensive but it taste so delicious so be prepared to pay big bucks for the food here. The good thing is that since the food is good you wont be mad when you pay the bill. The drinks are also good but they should put less ice in them. Your paying 20 bucks and 40% of the drink is ice :( Pros -Good service -Food taste delicios -Drinks taste good -Seating feels good -Tables are big Cons -Valet cost $35 dollars -Parking sucks in DTLA -Everything is expensive

We don't come here often. Since we live near the beach. In the past this has been one of my…read morefavorites! I'm from New Mexico and they offer New Mexico style food. Have gone many times over the last 20 years. We went for a special Father's Day meal. Had the stacked green chili enchiladas and the rolled green chili cheese enchiladas. Very disappointed. It all lacked flavor. It didn't taste bad, just no flavor. Had to salt it up for a better taste. It tasted like below average Mexican food. Not New Mexico style. We didn't finish the plates. I asked the waitress if they had changed recipes. She said she didn't think so. I explained to her the lack of flavor. She was very apologetic and comped some our meal. Sad, as it was the only place near us to get authentic New Mexico style food. Unfortunately we won't be back.

Been meaning to check this place out now that I work across the street. Took a friend to work for…read morelunch for her bday. The interior is very Tommy Bahama, in my opinion. It's a big space. We got there at 11:30 and were the only ones there but more people came as time went by. The staff was very attentive. We got our pick of dining area. We were given small cheese bread rolls that reminded me of the flavor of Cheez-its which I like. We both took advantage of the lunch menu ($25 for two items - you chose from about a dozen dishes). I got the salmon tostada and the shrimp taco. My friend got the tuna tostada and shrimp taco. I enjoyed the tostada and while the shrimp taco was good, it could have used more flavor. We were given some green salsa when they brought out dishes. A flan/chocolate cake was provided as a complimentary bday dessert. Want to check out their happy hour and dancer some time in the future.

Once again, a seeming disability can turn into an opportunity. I have been diagnosed celiac (gluten…read moreintolerant) for 26 years but I am a foodie and I owned a restaurant. I also travel and love to eat wherever I go so for the first 15 years or so after my diagnosis, my food can only be described as cardboard or parakeet food. However, since being gluten intolerant has become extremely prevalent, it is much easier now to find great food and growing up in Venice, California Mexican food was and still is one of my favorite cuisine. I was going to go to an event for Yelp at the Regent where I knew I would find snack type food that would be inedible for me so after partaking in the wonder of Dia de los Muertos, I walked past Bar Ama and was captivated by the cool interior. I wasn't planning on eating much but in keeping with the Halloween Calaveras theme, I sat at the bar and had a wonderful talk with the bartender/server and some fellow diners who are also eating at the bar. Whenever there are specials, I try to order them, and in this case, this was no exception as I started off with my first Pumpkin Margarita - pumpkin, cinnamon, tequila, combier, lime, agave. Nice taste without an overpowering pumpkin flavor. Since I'm a lightweight and cheap date, I had to have some hardy food and I tried their super nachos with shredded chichen picidilia. Calling something super could mean big and/or delicious. This was both. I powered through most of it and then the devious server made me look at their muy especial desserts. That's a lie but while I'm gluten intolerant I'm not glutton intolerant so I gave in to try a dessert presented in the spirit of the holiday- Pistachio Cheesecake Brûlée- kataif, buttermilk créme fraiche, saffron honey cherry blossom salt. I don't even know exactly how you take my favorite dessert in which I am a self proclaimed expert, Creme brûlée (which was the only dessert I could safely eat for years) and pair it with my second favorite, cheesecake. Are you kidding me? Ama tell you this was epic in the presentation that was almost too nice to eat. That's BS I dug right in after taking a few snaps for y'all and so I could salivate looking at the pics later. Delicioso friends. Needless to say I waddled content over to the Regent and ate nothing so as not to break the vibe of the meal. Gracias Bar Ama.

Service was a miss -- we never had a dedicated server so they didn't check in as often. For the food, we tried the stacked enchiladas and posole.
