Ampersand 27

Went for a late evening, romantic anniversary dinner. We were excited to try this restaurant and celebrate our 7th anniversary together. The atmosphere and decoration of the location was excellent. Unfortunately, our evening was lackluster due to inattentive service and mediocre food. The first impression was tepid. When we arrived the restaurant it was not too busy. There was about 6 tables currently seated, though it took more than 15 minutes for our server to come by to make her first introductions and inquire about drinks. On a positive note the service for our drinks was speedy and they were delicious. The food was mostly okay, though I do not recommend the duck. The components of the dish was tasty but, the duck itself was tough and unappetizing. We made the best of our anniversary night with our own good company. Unfortunately, the waitstaff never acknowledged that we were celebrating an occasion (even though we stated on our reservation we were celebrating). Overall, there are plentiful choices around the city for a romantic dinner for two, that offer much better service and food. Definitely save your time and money and skip over this place. Don't expect to have a special evening here.

We recently had our wedding reception at Ampersand 27 and I cannot tell you how amazing our experience was with Ampersand 27 and specifically Nicky. From the beginning we had prompt and helpful responses. Guests were well taken care of, with special care taken of guests with allergies! The food was raved about! Amazing experience 11/10. And again, the food!! It was really nothing like ‘wedding food’ because it was delicious.

The wife and I went there for a couple drinks last Saturday night. Loved the decor and atmosphere. Busy but not to loud. Good music. The service from bartender Thomas was exceptional. Great service, friendly and attentive. Although we didn’t eat, the menu looked very interesting. We’ll definitely be back. 👍
