"This is one of my favorite places in Broad Ripple to eat! The food is always great, the bartenders our always great, but the service could use some love. This particle night we had reservations at 7:00, but still had to wait on a table? At 7:35 PM we settled for a table in the bar area in lieu of the dining side. Unfortunately our server was unattentive. Our food wasn't served until about 8:30 PM and I had to go to the bartender to get drink refills for our table. The food ended up being great as expected, but the service really kills the total experience."

"We enjoyed our dinner at Ambrosia. The wait staff is very professional and friendly. It does get somewhat loud on weekend nights making things less intimate then the atmosphere suggests. Overall, great restaurant, good food, wonderful service."

"Thought we would dine here once more before their planned move to smaller quarters not far from the current location. We always expect a pleasant experience and were not disappointed. The excellent server mentioned that he had worked there for many years, and would likely move to the new spot. The menu is not lengthy but has many good choices. One thing we especially like is that half-servings are available on several items. We hope the new location will be as reliable as this one."

"We arrived for a reservation for 4 at 5:15pm, telling the host that we were attending a concert at 7:30. Our service was superb, and the foor was delicious. We ordered a double order of calamari as an appetiser, followed by our entrees of various pasta dishes. We ended our meal with splitting a dish of tiramisu, which was also superb. I highly recommend Ambrosia!"

"Great restaurant. We went there for Valentine's Day. Our waitress wasn't very attentive to our table. She took our appetizer order and then came back ten minutes later to take it again. And then she forgot to take our dinner order. I've been there before. Maybe it was just an off night for her with it being Valentine's Day. Other than the service the meal was great and will return again!"

"What a pleasure to dine at a restaurant that wasn't as big as a barn and didn't have the noise level of one! The music was appropriate and added to the ambience. The selections were ample without being overwhelming. And I loved how authentically the food was served--not a ton of pasta heaped on a plate. The wait staff were perfect. Never hovering; always there when needed. Very well trained. I had asked for a table with some privacy (it was our anniversary), and that's exactly what we got. Plus the owner came and talked to us as we were ordering our desserts, which turned out to be on the house. We'll be back!"

"Food was excellent. Service was great! The only thing was having to wait a while to get someone's attention to come to seat me. I'm not sure where the greeter was. It would have been awkward waiting with the date but luckily I arrived before my date showed up. Fix this and it'd be perfect."
