by Youlanda Eveleth on Yeah, the Alhambra nightlife is pretty lame. Ambiente continues that trend. I've been here twice, each was worse than before...considering I've only been here twice! It's not a "mixed" crowd at all, and I think some of the people either waits at the other place around the corner, if that doesn't work, they flood in here. Like the 2 star implies, I've experienced better.
by Kelly J. on I'd heard many great tales of people coming to this place and not wanting to leave. Jazz music, alligators, pasted peeping toms in the window of the girl's restrooms( and a cackling witch making fun of your hairdo). The food was great, the atmosphere was quite interesting, and the jazz music echoed throughout the restaurant ( if a little too loudly). I'd say you should probably go here once and then let your wallet recover for quite some time. While I've heard only good things about the desserts... they are extremelly stingy with them. I know, I know, it is hand-made and takes hours upon hours to create, but they have a limit of only one per night and you have to call it in waaayyyy ahead of time to even think about getting any. Also, they don't give you a choice on listening to the live music, they automatically charge you for it. I enjoyed the dining experience, but I won't be going back.
by Rebecca O. on If you go for happy hour, be forewarned. It gets extremely crowded, especially out on the patio during nice weather days. And I promise you it doesn't have anything to do with the dude playing some kind of space age music out there. It's all about who can look the hottest, youngest and trendiest at this Buckhead hotspot. The cocktail waitresses walk around in scandalous lingerie -- it's definitely not considered clothing. So they automatically win the sexy contest. Although the bartenders look like they jumped out of a Chippendales calendar. So not only do they serve food and drinks here, they also provide candy for the eyes. I like the food. I order the Chinese chicken salad without the chicken, but with the tender filet that comes on another salad. A very good substitution if I may say so myself. I just did.
