The atmosphere was so nice to go on a date. There were booth seatings that you can have a very nice photo.
Server was very nice and kind. She was very helpful when we had questions about the food.
For the food, we ordered a lot of them I couldn’t remember all of them but the appetizer that had octopus was really good. And I was always wanting to try tortilla, here’s was nice served like a crepe cake Paella was okay but we were too full by the appetizers so we couldn’t finish it.

16OCT.2025 I celebrated my birthday here and it was my first time here. Me and my mate have a wonderful time.
As soon as we were greeted and when we left the vibes were AMAZING(not because it was my birthday). The lady at the reservation spot was awesome and so welcoming, to the person who seated us, along with every person who placed our food on our booth (cabana like)table, right down to Roger that recommended and served us up on some food sweats/common delicious 5 courses tapas.
The spot we suggested to sit was superb and just right. Our food tapas and appetizers tapas was great. Great right down to the dessert and my birthday glasses of champagne. THANK YOU ROGER for adding to my amazing birthday dinner night!

Made reservations and didn’t wait more than 10 mins. Great ambiance. Food is okay- portion size is small compared to pricing. You are in AC so that’s what you pay for. View from the window side of the restaurant. Reason for 5 stars is it was our anniversary and they gave us a cute post card and complimentary glass of champagne. Worth trying!

Amada Restaurant is a beautiful spot to enjoy a meal in Atlantic City. The atmosphere is warm and stylish with a modern Spanish touch, and the location right on the Boardwalk makes it even better. Sitting by the large windows and enjoying the ocean view while dining created such a relaxing and memorable experience.
The menu offers a wide variety of Spanish dishes, with plenty of tapas to share. Everything I tried was flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared. The seafood stood out in particular — cooked perfectly and full of taste. Pairing the food with their wine selection made the meal even more enjoyable.
The service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to give good recommendations without being overwhelming. The pacing of the meal was just right, and I felt well taken care of throughout the evening.
Overall, Amada is a great choice if you’re looking for delicious Spanish cuisine in Atlantic City with a view of the ocean. Whether it’s a casual night out or a special occasion, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Amada by Chef José Garcés was a great finale to our stay at Ocean.
The dining room has beautiful ocean views, especially at sunset, and the atmosphere is really stylish and inviting. Service was impeccable.
We started with the Ceviche served with crispy plantains. It was super fresh, spicy and a big enough portion for 2-3 people. The plantains added the perfect crunch and help the spice cool down in between bites. It was a special, but I hope it stays on the menu.
From there we shared a series of tapas. The albóndigas, lamb meatballs in sherry and foie gras cream. Piquillos rellenos – red peppers stuffed with crab and topped with marcona almonds. The short rib flatbread with horseradish cream, bacon, and arugula, and the empanada filled with spinach and Manchego. Everything was spectacular and way more filling than we expected for tapas.
For dessert we tried the Tarta de Santiago – almond cake with white chocolate gelato and amarena cherry. It was simple, elegant, and a great finish to the meal.
We left full, happy, and already planning a return visit to try the paella.

Disappointment
Yesterday we visited Amada Restaurant. It was a place I had been to before and really liked. Even though we were staying at a different hotel, we chose to go there specifically to have a Spanish beer. However, we were told that we could not enter because of my service dog and that the restaurant was “not pet friendly.” Even after I explained that she must be with me due to my medical condition, they dismissively told me, “Go to the lobby, show your documents, and come back with the approval sticker.”
After doing what they asked and returning, they examined the sticker for an unnecessarily long time with an unfriendly expression. Then, instead of seating us at the bar, they placed us at a table isolated from everyone else. For a place that appears to be so high-quality, this level of disrespect and insensitivity was truly shocking. On my previous visit, there was a female manager who was very kind and clearly understood the purpose and importance of service dogs. The male manager on duty this time, however, seemed more focused on standing beside the hostess, chatting and laughing, than doing his actual job.
Unfortunately, the issues did not end there. As soon as we sat down, the menu was brought immediately and we were asked for our drink order. We felt rushed into ordering. We originally planned to sit at the bar and have just one beer, but since we were forced to sit at a table, we ordered a few tapas as well. Despite this, the server — following the manager’s instructions — kept coming back to the table repeatedly, asking if we needed anything else and essentially pressuring us to leave. Even though we told them we were still eating, they brought plastic to-go cups/boxes and the check when I hadn’t even finished half of my first beer.
Naturally, they did not offer even a sip of water for my service dog, who lay quietly on the floor the entire evening.
If you plan to go dressed “fancy” and have no health conditions — and are not accompanied by a service dog, a child, or an elderly person you care for — you will probably have no issues. Because those who do not fit into that category are clearly treated poorly.
PS: You can see my dog in the attached photos and better understand what I am describing.

We spent all our money on appetizers and we don’t regret it. However I would have loved to try everything from their menu. We were full from all that we ate. The drinks were strong! Had a great anniversary date. Long wait time during rush hours so plan ahead and make reservations.

Based on the menu and what I read about this place, I expected the paella to be as good as it comes. At least when you charge $165. Waiter also talked it up – it takes 45 mins to an hour, it’s the best, be patient, etc. Ours came out with rice completely dry and undercooked . It was honestly a letdown. Thanks for throwing in the bread, but there was nothing to dip into. As dry as the Sahara desert.
The lamb chops, also talked up to be from Colorado and not imported from New Zealand, were also rubbery and not tender at all, like someone rushed it in the kitchen.
The tapas by themselves were decent – chorizo, flatbread, and potatoes. Hard to mess up.
Came out to $320 before tip for a family of 4. Don’t think we are coming back.

Probably the best food at Ocean. Amazing food made to order so the time is a little longer for food but there are plenty of delicious appetizers and drinks to keep you busy. Keeps you separate form the crazy casino area so you feel like you’re in a completely different building. A great view of the ocean as well

Phenomenal meal with an amazing view. We had the Chef sampler and we were not disappointed. A ton of samples served quickly on a busy Friday night with a smile. Although expensive, this place didn’t disappoint!
