    For $17 you get a wonderful entrée, miso soup, salad, rice and mini rolls AND two free drinks - wine or Bellinis. The price of two drinks alone is worth the $17. Excellent food (Thai-Japanese, Vietnam kind of menu) and great views through the font windows of Columbus Avenue.

    Amber West was the perfect choice for my going away party Saturday night. I'm glad I made the reservation for 8 ahead of time. The food was delicious. My friends and I had a lovely time.

    Not our first visit but perhaps our last. No lights on the tables so it was impossible to read the menus. We had to use the flashlights on our phones. Our server was either ignorant of the whiskeys available or thought we were too ignorant to notice. We ordered a specific scotch and a specific bourbon. The scotch was watered down and a different brand and the bourbon was a cheap replacement. Turns out the restaurant didn't stock either brand we ordered but she never bothered to check. Or if she did, she didn't bother to tell us. The food was good, but playing us for fools made it clear we won't return.

    The food at Amber is consistently delicious. It is one of our favorites. The Sangria Duck, Pad Thai, and California Rolls are the best. However, no matter what you order, you cannot go wrong.

    After having some both very good and relatively poor, American-ized sushi in NYC, I figured I would give a few places in upper east side a try. I was pleasantly surprised by Amber West. They had a great location and the venue itself is very good. My server was prompt and the food was excellent.

    When making a reservation, request to be seated in the back room. The sushi was solid but not spectacular. The waitstaff seemed annoyed to answer questions so weren't as helpful as they could be. :-/

    Having have dined several times in the front/street side section of the restaurant I was pleasantly surprised to discover the large, comfortable, and well appointed back dining room. Our New Year's Eve dinner, for a party of four, was thoroughly enjoyable. All the dishes were well prepared, and the service was attentive. I would go back to Amber West for a quick dinner or special occasion.
