Editorial Review for Amber – by Anna Roth
In Short
This multilevel lounge has an overarching Pacific Northwest decorating scheme--logs protrude from the center of the rectangular bar and the upstairs sports lounge features polished tree-stump tables along with plush leather chairs. Cozy booths in back are accentuated by trendy wire chandeliers glowing amber. The multipage cocktail menu includes drinks such as the Blood Orange martini, mandarin vodka mixed with crushed blood oranges and lemon-lime soda, garnished with an orange sugar rim.

Ill make this short, sweet and to the point-as I am not a restaurant connoisseur and am not much for the happy hour scene. It was new years and a large group of friends-myself included were headed to amber. Love the look of the place-large enough for a new year’s party with an appeal of a quiet night for a drink. Everything seemed to be running smoothly, however the staff is clearly under-trained, unprofessional and poorly managed. I gave my coat to the woman manning the coat check (who I later found out later was equally as drunk as fellow new year’s party goers behind the hostess stand) and she handed me a number. Cool that it was complimentary to the guests. When I went back to the "coat check" there was no one responsible behind the counter. Bottom line, I had the number that she gave me with NO coats on the hangers at 1:15am. I would have rather have paid to know that my coat was going to be there when I was ready to leave. The place was a zoo, the bouncers seem to be overpaid d@uche bags and the coat checkers are trashy bar fly’s who don't seem to understand what it means to have a VERY SIMPLE JOB. Hang on to your jacket and don't rely on the service.
Pros: had a great time-pre the lack of party control
Cons: really bad ending as I did not walk home with the coat I wore to the place

This place is getting worse every weekend. Everyone is rude, service is poor and crowd is getting worse. It was cool when it just opened, but now it has turned into such sh*t. The personnel is extremely rude. Everyone-waitresses, bartenders, but mostly the bouncers. Bouncers are there for a reason, but it is not an exuse to treat people as if they were sh*t. I don't go there mainly because I can not stand people that work there.
Pros: location
Cons: rude staff
