Amaro’s Table Downtown - (Near Vancouver, WA)

5 /5 Atkinson Crystal (Crystal in the Couve): Finally a restaurant my whole family loves! Everything was wonderful even the cocktails and especially the Clam Chowder! That is the best Ive ever had. The Salmon Risotto was fabulous! My husband enjoyed the ribs with Mac and cheese and our son devoured his chicken. Our friends also loved their meals! The service was on point and we enjoyed the special room we got to sit in. This is an all-around outstanding restaurant where it seems you cant go wrong!

5 /5 neil johnson: We had a fantastic meal on our date night before the theatre. From the greeting as we walked in, the service and the food were all exceptional. I especially enjoyed the Blackened Ahi and corn fritters appetizers. The sauce on the Ahi was flavorful and had a nice kick to it without it being overwhelming. My wife had the Rustic chicken and I had the Marsala, both dishes were fantastic, tender, perfectly cooked chicken; and we were both huge fans of the marsala sauce. The NA cocktails were sharp and sweet and the flavor from the NA gin was perceptible and welcomed to balance the drink. I opted for a classic version of the Affogato, and while this was not strictly on the menu, my request was attended to with no fuss at all, and we received a complimentary plate of Ricotta doughnuts from the maître d. For a first visit to the restaurant, we had an overwhelmingly exceptional experience, and will be making a return visit. A big thanks to our waiting staff too, its unforgivable that I cannot recall her name, but she was delightfully unintrusive, whilst maintaining the right amount of attentiveness throughout the experience. A real pleasure of of evening.

5 /5 Michael Witte: Stopped in on a whim and ordered some food to go. Saw it was happy hour and decided to try some menu items I hadnt previously. The burger (rare) with bacon was phenomenal! 10/10 would recommend and order again. The Quesabiria was very good, but a bit small of a portion. That said, great (if not perfect) crisp on the tortilla and the biria flavor pops just right. I try to order the quesabiria everywhere I can, and this one is up near (if not) at the top). I ordered 2 plates of the ricotta doughnuts and just couldnt finish them after the first two courses. Brought a 3rd order home for my wife along with the fried chicken sando, steak sando, and daily risotto. All-in-all top notch spot.

5 /5 Brandon Miller: Im surprised I havent gotten a review in for Amaros yet... my bad! This review is at least 3-years overdue! Amaros is tucked away at 12th and Main in downtown Vancouver. We discovered it on a cold rainy night in 2022 and loved it from our first visit. We havent often sat in the actual restaurant... were usually found perched up in the bar. The bartenders are all very friendly and service is on-point. They make a mean martini. Their food is excellent, never had something I didnt like. I particularly the chicken sandwich and marsala. Both are solid options. Their house salad + a side of ranch slaps! They offer a reverse happy hour starting at 9pm, which we admittedly take advantage of quite often. This is one of the most consistent restaurants in all of Vancouver and comes highly recommended from us!

5 /5 Kronda Adair: This was such a great example of how things don’t have to be perfect in order to have an amazing dining experience. This was the last restaurant we visited during a visit from my father-in-law to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday and his 80th. Even though we had a reservation, we waited an unusually long time (10-15 minutes) for our table. When we were seated, a host offered to park my father-in-law’s walker so it wouldn’t obstruct the aisle. There was a hand written birthday card waiting at the table. Soon after we sat, the manager Christina came over to apologize for the wait and offer us a delicious bread and cheese platter. Tana, our server, was a delight, very genuine and friendly and a total ‘Yes, and’ good sport about Chuck’s horrendous dad jokes. :) I ordered the seasonal halibut and my wife ordered the risotto but asked for halibut instead of salmon. When the food arrived, the kitchen had misread the order and made the regular halibut for both of us. After checking in with us, Tana delivered the halibut and brought the risotto out later so that Jess wouldn’t have to wait to start eating. Despite the hiccups, this was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time because every staff member we interacted with was so friendly, pleasant and genuinely caring. We were checked on regularly, and the host even came back to suggest a shorter and more accessible exit back to our car, because of all the construction on the street. And yes, the food was amazing. The halibut with lemon cream sauce and capers was perfectly prepared, just the right amount of lemony, and not too many capers. The risotto was creamy and salty in just the right ways, and the flavor and texture of the ribeye steak was excellent. After dinner they surprised us with birthday desserts of cheesecake and crème brûlée, both perfect and delicious. Christina escorted us back to the parking garage to make sure we didn’t take a wrong turn through the building. It’s obvious that Amaro’s cultivates a culture of true service and that is unfortunately becoming more rare. Thanks for an amazing and delicious evening.
