Amber Athens — Restaurant in Athens

We came as a family of 4, we ordered the beef carpaccio, paperdalle with ragu, the vegan risotto and the shrimp pasta, the carpaccio is special, personally it was different from any I have eaten and it was very good, our ragu pasta came with barely 4 pieces of meat, for almost 20 euros its quite overpriced, pasta was delicious tho, the risotto was very very delicious at a fair price, and the shrimp pasta was decent. The waiters were very nice, always made sure the table is clean and that we are enjoying our food. I feel like there are more dishes to try out, but from what I have eaten, the food is delicious, but not incredible, at least from what I have eaten, and it's hard for me to recommend the ragu pasta when there is barely any ragu and a small portion of pasta, even tho is was delicious. The only dish that I can truly recommend from what we ordered is the risotto, good portion, very delicious and vegan for vegetarian, I eat meat and It was my favorite dish...

Amber Restaurant delivered an absolutely sensational dining experience that left us utterly impressed. From start to finish, every dish was a testament to culinary excellence. We began our meal with the carpaccio, which was, quite simply, to die for. The thinly sliced meat was incredibly fresh and bursting with exquisite flavors – a truly unforgettable start. For our main courses, I indulged in the steak, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Without exaggeration, it was one of the best steaks I've ever had, seared beautifully on the outside while remaining incredibly tender and juicy within. My partner opted for the beef cheeks, and they were equally remarkable, incredibly tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The impeccable quality of the ingredients, combined with the masterful execution of each dish, made for a truly memorable evening. We would highly recommend Amber Restaurant to anyone seeking an exceptional...

So i'll start with the positives.. the staff are really friendly and sweet. Service was great.

I went for a very early dinner so there was no atmosphere and I can't comment about it.

As for food, it was bad. I only had two dishes so I may have been just unlucky but it was an indication of the quality of food in general I think.

The restaurant is trying to spin traditional Greek dishes into something creative, but they've done a really bad job at it. I had a greek salad and Moussaka.

The Greek Salad had no flavor. It lacked the usual dressing.. and the feta cheese was so mild and bland, didn't taste like Feta cheese at all.

The Moussakka came in deep fried balls. I was not expecting a deep-fry component since the description didn't mention that.. and the frying tasted like it was done in oil that was used too many times. The original Mousaka tastes a 100 times better.

Oh and finally, its...
