As a pre birthday dinner celebration I was overwhelmed with dining choices- as a fan of the mandarin chain, we finally went with Amber which always proved to please its diners.The decor remains one of my favourite, elegant and chic. We chose the degustation menu for the night. Being the picky eater I am, I informed the restuarant right on the spot of my dislikes for raw seafood to which they were understanding and swift to offer alternative dishes according to my tastes.

We chose the degustation menu for the night. Being the picky eater I am, I informed the restuarant right on the spot of my dislikes for raw seafood to which they were understanding and swift to offer alternative dishes according to my tastes. I was very pleased indeed.
We started off with some very pleasing amouse bouches.
The wagyu was the best dish of the night, it literally melted in my mouth and had me craving for more.
Amber boasts a fantastic cheese selection and are very generous with the servings, I remarked to my fellow diner that I usually have my cheese with grapes and the man serving us picked up on it and offered me a hude bowl of black seedless grapes!
The desserts, yes you heard me right desserts! were all very pleasing. The lemon tart was complimented perfectly with its rasberry condiments. The soufflé was perfect. The chocolate was smooth and rich. definitely not to be missed.
Overall, beit a rather costly dining experience in my opinion it was worth every penny. The food and service was top notch and most importantly has never slipped on either account.
If you are looking for a cosy, elegant non pretentious dining setting Amber or Mandarin Grill comes highly recommended.
