I had been wanting to come here and I heard how fabulous it was so what better thing to do than book a reservation for my birthday brunch. The staff were absolutely wonderful via phone and email addressing my questions and concerns. Upon arrival I was astonished at how cute this place was. The outside hostess directed me to the inside host. I immediately saw some of my guest at a lovely long table set up in the back center. Our attentive waiter came over to bring us menus. Unfortunately most of my guests got caught up in the torrential downpour and were running behind. The waiter assured me that we were quite alright to wait if we preferred. I decided to start with a cocktail. The testa Rossa was recommended. I ended up giving it to my husband as it was rather strong and I did not taste watermelon nor coconut. I went with the second recommendation of the strawberry bliss. Another strong drink which the gin overpowered the other flavors. I may skip the cocktails if I come back as I did not fancy either of the ones I tasted. I tried some of Lisa's sunflower seed toast which came with the cutest set up of butter and delicious apricot and strawberry jam. For my lunch I decided on the Cacio de Pepe which was cheesily delicious and transported me back to Rome. Now for the star of the show, the Principessa which was probably the best cakes I've ever had. Each bite is so light with subtle lemon, vanilla and whipped cream, it practically melts in your mouth. I washed down the cake with a cappuccino Viennese. On my way out I took the time to walk over to the dessert and pastries counter where I spied my next selection for my next visit. Overall it was a fantastic day minus the weather which I did not allow to rain on the celebration of my special day. read more

Went for dinner this Thursday, to finally try the food here and listen to some live jazz music! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was able to snag a seat at the bar, which was perfect since the jazz was closer than in the dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had a couple glasses of red wine- since ordering a bottle was out of the question because they were SO expensive. We ordered the San Danielle pizza (prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula), and the lobster pasta. The pizza was more of a flatbread, VERY thin and airy crust. Order as an APP, not an entree. The lobster pasta had "homemade shells"- they tasted no different from a box pasta- and the pasta itself was VERY fishy. I only ate half and had a stomachache after. Would NOT return here for dinner; overpriced for sub-par food. read more

Took my niece to Sant Ambroseus for a celebration. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a lovely restaurant with beautiful inside seating and decor and you can sit outside as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The first thing that struck me about this place was how exorbitantly expensive everything was --from the appetizers to the salads and entrees. I mean, the salads were $35 for a small salad. I had the beet and avocado salad at $35 and while it was very good the portion did not justify the $35 price tag. Even in the most upscale restaurants worldwide I have never seen a small salad at this price point. My niece had the Caesar salad and she said she enjoyed it. Same small salad for $35. We both had the salmon and it was very good. It comes over lentil salad, and my niece who is allergic to lentils asked if she could have something else instead and the waiter said no. No substitutions. So she just got a piece of salmon. Took a star off for this. They could have given her French fries for this very expensive entree. The bread they bring out is a couple of slices of cold bread with whipped butter. Again for the prices they charge here they should be bringing out a bread basket of warm bread. Our server was OK but not outstanding. The lady who fills the water barely did and when she did one time it was grudgingly. So this is a mixed review because the food was good and enjoyable. But dinner for two with one cocktail and no dessert came to almost $300 before the tip. That is pretty outrageous. Not sure if I will return because there's a big choice of restaurants in Palm Beach County that I would take guests to where at least for $300 you might feed four people. Took a star off for this seriously greedy restaurant. This restaurant would have gotten five stars if the entrées and salads and appetizer were half the price that they are now. And if they had given my niece some side because she told him she was allergic to lentils. This is a restaurant that will not really try that hard because they're already on the hotspots to try in Palm Beach. It's a shame really. There are some very excellent restaurants in Palm Beach that don't try to gouge their customers. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Wow, what a beautiful restaurant in Royal Poinciana Plaza in Palm Beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a nice touch that there's complimentary valet parking right out front. I made a reservation here on a Friday night for 7:45 PM with my friend and we sat inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's such a lovely ambience when you enter the restaurant because the decor is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started off with a couple of cocktails and we ordered the avocado beet salad, which was 10 out of 10. We split the truffle pasta and ordered the Wagyu cooked medium. The service was absolutely fantastic. Carmita was our server and she was so kind and accommodating. The food tasted so fresh and the truffle was something to be remembered. The tiramisu was chosen for dessert. It was strong and absolutely delicious! I would love to come back for brunch one day! read more

Great evening for a new birthday tradition. The staff was professional and the manager was accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Besides the background music and beautiful flowers, this restaurant should be Michelin star rated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our meal was plated beautifully with lovely table cloths and gorgeous silverware. Every item was fresh and homemade and individually prepared, unlike any other venue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were reminded of upscale restaurants we saw in movies in the 1950's[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were pleasantly surprised how exceptional our special evening was. We will definitely make this a birthday tradition. "A MUST TRY" SUPPORT LOCAL read more

Food was excellent. Two orders of the crab and one of the lobster pasta. All were excellent. Caesar salad was good, but our entrees arrived right after. This was a service blunder. Did mention it to the manager. Later he took the dessert off the bill. Our server was not the friendliest and she was the only negative part of our meal read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was great, but the coffee fell short.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have no flavored syrups. The coffee tasted like high quality, but I wish they had flavors. I give it a 3. I wanted to try the iconic princess cake, but it was $18 a slice! I'm sure it's great, but I couldn't justify the price. read more

Has lunch outdoors on a Sunday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor area is very nice and has a nice fan so it doesn't get that hot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was prompt, not the friendliest, but prompt and respectful. Food here is pricey... but then again, prices expected for the area. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of everything. The chicken panini felt very fresh and well done without feeling heavy or greasy. Even the mountain of French fries wasn't as greasy as you'd expect. The pizza was extremely light. I loved that they didn't hold back on the prosciutto. However, because this has burrata and the dough is more of a pita bread than a traditional pizza, it gets quite mushy by the middle instead of being toasty all around. If they can get the middle part to be as crispy/toasty as the rest this would be golden. The fettuccine were cooked well and the ragú was special. Someone you'd ask bread to make sure you get every last bit of it. The hazelnut gelato was outstanding. Creamy, little chunks of hazelnuts here and there. Rich with the espresso over it. But the espresso with panna itself was amazing. This is really good espresso. The temperature, the flavor, everything. I'd go back just to have that espresso. read more

One of the best gluten-free pastas I've ever had. 10/10 They make really great mocktails--the bar tenders know what they are doing. You are greeted with a bread bowl and olive oil. Latin and retro music plays throughout during the day. Flowers are swapped for the evening crowd. Beautiful decor. What I love most is actually the branding--beautiful designs in their to-go bags, and the boxes for ordering bakery items. Lovely illustrations and story--simply delightful. Gelato was very good. But the hazelnut cake takes the...cake. Best chocolate dessert ever. read more

I came in just for the gelato! You can get it to go without needing to get a table inside their actual restaurant. Hands down the best Hazelnut and Pistachio gelato I've ever tasted! Both have real nuts mixed inside the gelato as well. Overall 10/10 recommend for these 2 flavors. The last time I had a true good hazelnut gelato was Italy and this place is definitely tasted just like in Italy. read more

Popular for a reason! We came for brunch, and everything was truly exquisite. The atmosphere is stunning--both indoors and outdoors--elegant yet inviting. The service was impeccable, and every dish we tried was delicious. I had the Centocolori salad, which was fresh and vibrant, while my boyfriend ordered an omelet--easily one of the best he's ever had. The drinks were just as impressive; he had the "Talk the Talk" cocktail, which was perfectly crafted with mezcal and gin. Make reservations in advance and dress well--this place has a chic vibe that's worth embracing. Can't wait to return! read more

SA has been on my "to eat list" for as long as i can remember and it did not disappoint. hubs and i loved SA so much that we came back 2x on our short stay in PB lol. service was absolutely top notch, their attention to detail is unparalleled- i get it, given the billionaire diners their expectations are extremely high. you can tell there are a lot of regulars that the hostess knows to reserve certain tables in advance. i have dreams about their cakes. you have not lived until you've had their cakes! princess cake and hazelnut cakes were so yummy i wanted the whole entire cake! their bread service is one of the best.

I don't know how I have never reviewed this place when it is, hands down, my favorite place in the Palm Beach area. Be prepared to lay down some coin, but there is nothing on the menu that isn't delicious. My favorites include the cacio e pepe with fresh pasta, the watermelon salad, and whatever the chef's daily soup. Everything is always fresh and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. At our most recent visit, it was a yellow squash bisque with basil that was absolutely sublime. The service is 10/10 attentive, the restaurant is beautiful, and have I mentioned the food? For a quick stop, the gelato and baked goods are exceptional and always make me feel like I'm being especially decadent. Sant Ambroeus is always a "must stop" on any visit to the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall great environment, but just a bit over priced for what it offered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I guess that is part of the allure of this restaurant. Had a lot of different sides and appetizers which were all good. Had a pasta bolognese as a starter too which I quite liked. Unfortunately I'm giving the 3 stars because I ordered the veal cutlet (more fancy name than this) and that was quite underwhelming. It came with just a side of salad and overall was so dry. I asked the server for some marinara sauce, which unfortunately came a little late so by the time I ate it, it was cold and dryer than when it was served. read more

Really enjoyable experience from start to finish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere strikes that perfect Palm Beach balance -- elegant but relaxed, with a lively buzz that makes it feel special without being stuffy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was warm and attentive without hovering, and everything moved at an easy, unhurried pace. The menu shows real attention to detail. Fresh seafood and pasta were definite highlights -- beautifully presented and full of flavor. Cocktails were well-crafted and complemented the meal nicely. If I'm being picky, a few small touches (like pacing between courses) could be smoothed out, but it didn't detract much from the evening overall read more

Beautiful restaurant in Royal Poinciana shopping center. Staff was very attentive and friendly. It was very busy that evening and the manager found us a quaint corner table almost immediately.

I have dined at Sant Ambroeus Palm Beach many times, but after this experience, I will never return. Five minutes before the incident, the table in the bar area was clearly first come, first serve. I was standing nearby and informed the staff that I was waiting for it to be cleaned. Shortly after, a white couple also inquired about the same table. Instead of honoring the first come, first serve understanding, the manager abruptly placed a "Reserved" sign on the table. When I calmly explained to the hostess and the manager that I had been waiting for the table to be cleaned, the manager was extremely unprofessional and did not allow me to speak. He dismissively stated that because it was Valentine's Day, it was busy. Busy or not, professionalism and fairness should always be maintained. The day does not excuse poor treatment or a lack of respect toward guests. As someone who has supported this restaurant on multiple occasions, I was shocked and disappointed by how I was spoken to. The tone was dismissive, tacky, and completely inappropriate for someone in a management position. I will not spend another dollar here, and I will be sharing my experience with others. Respect and professionalism should never be optional. read more

Fun spot to stop for gelato while shopping at Royal Poinciana! Want to come back for lunch or dinner. The menu looked great.

Lovely, low-key, excellent restaurant. It's a weird place. Food is really good, you will leave happy, but you're not going to say "omg that was amazing". It's just super high quality and well presented. The service is totally on point. The whole place is unpretentious. If you have F.U. money, this is a lovely place for dinner or a date. Super nice. BUT...at about $125 pp (that's without any alcohol at all) I want to walk out wowed. I've been here several times and I'll probably be back. I have never left here unhappy but at that price point I feel like there are better options. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A pretty and very busy restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It took a while for the server to come to ask if we'd like any cocktails. We had to eventually call him over. Our salad was terrific as was the pacchari. But the veal cutlet was terribly dry. (Wish I had seen a previous review). Our hotel concierge had told the restaurant it was our 50th wedding anniversary. (Which is a big deal). The host wished us a happy , but the server did nothing-was shocked he didn't say anything or bring us over a complimentary dessert. read more

This is such a gorgeous little spot in West Palm! The service was fantastic from start to finish, the hostess was friendly and our waitress was super attentive. I had a great breakfast but sadly, not all dishes were amazing. My fiancé and I both started off with our typical lattes, mine was iced as per usual. We then had the breakfast pastry basket which was delicious, we were brought a blueberry scone, pistachio crème, chocolate croissant and a variety of jams and butter. For our main dishes we had the San Daniele panini and the Crostino Milanese. The San Daniele panini was not best, I would probably try a different dish next time but overall it was a lovely breakfast. read more

Good, if not great, Italian restaurant in Palm Beach. Another NYC outpost--BTW, I've noticed almost all the outpost restaurants here in SoFla are more expensive than at their original locations in NYC. (It's not just a "Palm Beach thing"). A bowl of pasta, glass of wine, and dessert came to $100 with tip. (Margherita pizza runs $31). The fettuccine bolognese was pretty good and a healthy serving, ditto for the ricotta cheesecake. Not going to lie and tell you it was fantastic or the best I've had but it was acceptable/good (and a bit pricey; guess customers are paying for the decor). I happened to be in the area and decided to give the restaurant a shot but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to return. For the same money/slightly less I much prefer a different NYC outpost: MAMO. Good ambiance with indoor and outdoor/patio seating available. Nice service. read more

Stepping into Sant Ambroeus feels like teleporting straight to Milan -- with better weather. The pizza is next-level -- thin, crisp, and bursting with flavor. Easily one of the best in Palm Beach. The pastas are elegant and unique -- not your usual suspects, but everything is fresh and deeply satisfying. Wine list? Impressive. Desserts? Dangerous. Save room for the gelato or the millefoglie -- or both, no regrets. It's polished without being stuffy, and the service makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Definitely a splurge, but every bit of it feels worth it. read more

Disappointed by the Pricing I was really surprised to see a salad priced at $35 -- that's unusually high, even for upscale restaurants. I've dined at many places and have never come across a price like that for a salad. Unfortunately, it didn't feel justified by the portion or ingredients. Hoping the pricing becomes more reasonable in the future. read more
