Short version:
Ambrosi has a great atmosphere and a very nice waitress (as long as she isn't stressed).
The food is okay, but nothing special.
In terms of price, I think it's too expensive for what you get.
Especially because it felt like half of the ingredients weren't there (I can't judge whether it's an exception or a rule).
We had a fun evening here.
Detailed report:
Five of us were at Ambrosi on a Saturday evening around 1915.
For me the restaurant was about half full, but the service was pretty rotating.
At first there were (slightly) longer waiting times and the service was very short.
But I found this still within reason.
The emptier the Ambrosi became, the friendlier the service became. In the end, the service was the highlight of the evening.
I ordered an Ambrosi Mule for 16.-.
This is supposed to be a specialty of the house.
The cup was a maximum of 3/4 full (rather less) and instead of kaffir leaves and passion fruit there was lime and thyme (see pictures).
We were not informed about any missing ingredients.
Something like this is absolutely wrong and should not happen.
The waitress was attentive and probably noticed that something was wrong.
With the second drink, the Pimps no. 1 (16.-), the glass came full to the brim. The waitress also apologized, saying it didn't have all the ingredients and that's why different ones were used.
The missing ingredients lasted the entire evening (including during the meal).
On a Saturday evening, I expect the kitchen to have all the ingredients there.
From this point on, however, you were informed directly when you ordered and you could change your mind before it was on the table...
As compensation we received a beer on the house.
The beer was good.
For starters we had a pizza (1:50 p.m.). This was a bit small and more of a mix between focaccia and pizza. But it was really tasty.
For the main course we had Pasta la Vista in two flavors (All’Amatriciana/Ortolano). Unfortunately the pasta with chicken was no longer available(?). The taste was good, but nothing special.
For 20 to 24 CHF per person, the portion was significantly too small.
I was still hungry after eating. But I no longer breastfed him at Ambrosi.
I found the visit to Ambrosi okay and even enjoyed myself.
Plus point: the map is online.
Minus point: The card is of no use because the ingredients are missing.
I get significantly more for the money at other places.
But I wouldn't advise against a visit.
If you want to be sure, take the ingredients yourself.
Maybe the missing ingredients were actually just a one-time thing.
3 stars is a bit too little, but unfortunately it really wasn't 4 stars.
Il Faro is a family comfort food restaurant when you want a generously sized hearty meal. Rustique country food inspired Italian type food and very good ice creams
During the first serving, the meat was really too cold. After we reported it to the friendly waitress, they took it away and we were given new plates. The atmosphere and staff are excellent, just like our favourite Relais where we always go in Paris, but it is a point of attention for the chef to make sure the food is definitely hot enough when it comes out of the kitchen!!
I never write reviews, but this was without exaggeration, the best steakhouse I've ever been to, and the best restaurant I've visited in a good while. Staff is super friendly and patient, portions are extremely generous, and the selection of dishes makes you want to come back to try something new. The price is average for a steakhouse (around €40-60 for a meal without desert), but you are getting an experience similar to restaurants with a price range many times over this one. Will make sure to come back next time I visit Switzerland.
Tolles Pub mit super Stimmung und entspannten Gästen. Liegt vielleicht auch an der grandiosen und herzlichen Bedienung.
Die Shots sind sehr günstig für Zürich, aber auch nicht soo stark. Zu empfehlen!
Das nächste mal nehm ich was vom Grill! :)
Wow, that club was really bad!
Starting with the women's toilet: one washbasin was completely out of order, the tap in the second was not attached. Toilet seats don't fit on the bowls and the whole floor was wet and therefore dirty. Warm water doesn't come on either, even though it's set to really hot. Toilet paper and/or tissues were used to dry hands. I didn't see a bucket either - the cloths ended up on shelves or on the floor.
They weren't really very friendly at the bar either. Change was 10.00 too little, when I noticed it and asked her about it, she just said "no, that's not true". No further discussion!
The dance floor is ok, but only has a single small table littered with cups and bottles. I only saw it being cleaned up once.
It was extremely hot and humid and the floor was also wet. Nothing was cleaned up outside very rarely. The gentleman who did this task was super nice and took care of it. Overall, I didn't feel like there was an effort being made to make the club inviting.
I've also never seen a club of this size with so much security. Are they paid with the money from the overpriced drinks?...
I didn't feel comfortable in this place... too many things are just not right!
Definitely won't go there again!
very unfriendly employee I wanted to order something but it took a while until I chose something she then said very cheekily do you want to order something or not I also have other things to do I find that very unfriendly
