Amber Cafe

I swear, I know its weird, but every season they have a salad with fruit paired for the season. Once I had it with vanilla poached pears and goat cheese and another time with mangoes. I am not an, "I'll have a salad" girl by any means, but I honestly order one of their salads every time. Their fresh baby lettuce and toppings and prepared as ordered dressing is just the right amount. I get a bunch of other things too now, but that's always my staple. Branco Palikuca has always made me and friends feel welcome and like we were part of his own family. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgable with the food because there's always something they can recommend depending on your taste. I've gotten so many different menu items its too long to list, but to name some, the braised short ribs, the pasta of any kind is so fresh and flavorful, the seasonal soups are unique like their watermelon cucumber gazpacho was amazing this past summer, and their starters are just enough, but not too much food that it fills you up. They also offer you fresh baked bread of which the Ciabatta I recommend as it has a salty crust and is the best of the three they offer. The menu changes often which keeps me coming back. Chef Andrew Sikkelerus knows what he's doing as NOTHING has disappointed me. Ever. I also love that for a fancier looking restaurant, the chef is tatted up and has piercings and I love it!
