”I find a similar passion permeating its (Ambrosia) food and its décor as that which I’ve encountered traveling and eating in many great restaurants in Europe.”
Fifi Chao, Dining Out Magazine

The restaurant is adorned with custom leather booths, dim lighting and one-of-a-kind décor that recreates the feeling of Parisian romance. Dinner guests are swooned to the smooth sounds of jazz vocalist Chris Williams, winner of an Orange County Music Award. Guests are encouraged to make the dining experience more personal with special song requests.

Ambrosia also offers incredible tableside services including flambé desserts, Caesar Salads, shrimp scampi and other tableside specials. Peter Buffa of Orange Coast Magazine refers to Ambrosia as a “dining experience”.
