Ambra

What an excellent restaurant to go on that Special night, or just any evening! Our first visit there on my Wife’s Birthday! Food, service, ambiance was all truly amazing! I had the sea bass which I highly recommend. Our group also had the wagyu steak and short rib ravioloni! The best!! Finished it off with the toffee buttercup! I couldn’t believe how good it was! Worth the money if you want exquisite dining!

The place has a very nice atmosphere, almost luxurious. The food is good and presented in a very gourmet style. The wine selection is decent, and there's a variety of cocktails. The music is at a good volume. The prices are high. The waiter's service was extraordinary and saved the day in many ways.

Absolute perfection from beginning to end. Our server Berto turned a dinner out into an evening experience. I’ve eaten at several upscale restaurants and never expected to find one of the best in McAllen Texas. Be sure to save room for the amazing desserts!

I am so glad a high end steakhouse, that’s truly worth it, has come to McAllen. I’ve been to some wonderful steakhouse all over the US. I’ve been to the few upscale steakhouse here in the RGV but was not impressed. Bobs Chophouse was the best when it was here but Ambra is the one now. The atmosphere is what you expect. A top shelf bar fully equipped to make your cocktail of choice. Friendly and courteous staff always. They have a private dinning area for any special events with a minimum purchasing requirement. Wanting to impress your date? Looking for a nice place for your next office party or meeting? Maybe you just want to pull up to the bar and sip on a good scotch and just people watch and strike up good conversation with a stranger? Ambra is your place.

I reserved a table for 2 but the table was way to small. I ordered an appetizer which took up almost half the table. I ordered the wet aged tomahawk which was cooked to perfection but brought out in a sizzling iron pan like the "fajita places". I was warned "be careful its too hot". The grade of the steak was questionable. There was a host just staring at me and watching me eat which kind of killed the mood also. Overall good for "valley" standars but they really need to work on small details like that. Definitely try the octopus!

Ambra McAllen delivered an amazing dining experience!! The cocktails were delicious, balanced, and made with real attention to detail. The Short Rib Raviolini was incredible, perfectly cooked and overall an extremely satisfying dish. The service made the night even better. The hostesses were warm and welcoming the moment I walked in, and my server was extremely attentive and helpful the entire time. He made great recommendations and checked on us at all the right moments. I also appreciated the manager, Omar, who came by to make sure everything was perfect. His professionalism and hospitality really stood out. Ambra McAllen is definitely a place I’ll be returning to!! ✨

My husband surprised me with a night out here and this place did not disappoint! The ambiance, service, food, and the drinks were excellent. Our server was Emmanuel and he was phenomenal! We never had to wonder where he was because he was always checking on us, making sure we were enjoying our food, making sure our drinks were topped off. To add to how great our service was, every recommendation that we asked for, Emmanuel delivered! Excellent food, excellent service, and we will definitely be back!
