"Great restaurant to experience some amazing tapas! We went during restaurant week and with 2 people, we got 8 tapas each and 2 desserts. Great place, amazing server, will be back!"

"Amada Philadelphia delivered an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The cocktails were crafted perfectly—balanced, flavorful, and a great start to the night. The salad was fresh and packed with flavor, and the paella was truly exceptional, with rich seasoning and perfectly cooked ingredients. The service and atmosphere made the meal even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier dining spot in the city."

"Got to finally check out Amada for Brunch. Was pleasantly surprised. Jenn who greeted us gave great recommendations. By far one of the best Espresso Martinis I have had in the city. Food packs flavor and great value. Try the Bacon Wrap Dates!"

"Amada is Chef Garces' iconic first restaurant. When searching for a romantic dinner location during our weekend away in Philadelphia, we searched no further than Amada. Entering the rustic industrial space one is immediately nestled in a warm and sexy ambiance. This tapas style restaurant offers a plethora of delicious bites expertly prepared and complemented by vast wine and cocktail selections . We chose The Estrella and Pain & Glory cocktails to start. The Estrella is a vodka based drink mixed with St. Germain, lemon, blueberry and finished with club soda. The P&G is a habanero tequila based drink blended with agave, lime and fresh apples. Both were a wonderful pairing with our tapas selections. We began with Gambas al Ajillo and the Bruselas Catalana. The shrimp were plump, perfectly cooked and steeped in a rich and flavorful garlic sauce that offered a slight hint of smoky heat. The Brussels were like none I have ever tried and probably the best I've ever had, and I am a frequent Brussels eater! They are enveloped in a Valdeon fondue then sprinkled with pine nuts and tart green apple. A marriage of flavors absolutely made in heaven! Last we culminated our meal with the Entrecote, a thinly sliced Wagyu Skirt Steak served with a bright and herbaceous chimichurri and a petite Salmon filet served with a Saffron Vinaigrette. The steak was beautifully marbled and the preparation highlighted the natural rich flavor of the meat. The salmon skin was seared to perfection and the filet was moist, juicy and seasoned to perfection. Overall, Amada is a MUST when in the Philly area. Chef Garces' first concept is truly first rate!! You will not be disappointed!!"
