I was incrediblly hyped to visit this restaurant and I must say I had an overall disappointing experience. It wasn’t bad but it didn’t meet my expectations either. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to try out this restaurant was its ambience and unfortunately when we reached there, the place was going through some renovation so we were seated at the opus lounge which by no means looks and feels like a premium fine dining space. I was extremely frustrated because of that. The food for the most part was good but far from perfect which shouldn’t be the case considering how mindbogglingly expensive it is. We took the surf and turf platter which had steak, salmon, prawn and chicken and it cost 13k bdt. The steak was incredibly mid. I was told by quite a few people that this place has some of the best steaks out there and that's so not true. The outer crust was sad af, the meat was a little too chewy, the only saving grace was the sauce which was fabulous btw. The salmon and prawn were fantastic, no complaints there. The chicken tasted good but was completely dry. The dessert was fantastic. We had the the crepe suzette which is something I never tried before and my first time experience was genuinely good. The aqua passion mocktail was also very refreshing and enjoyable. The coffees however were mediocre. The servicing was the best part of my experience at the amber room. Our server was very approachable and helpful. The behaviour of the staff overall seemed quite nice. We were provided with welcome drink and appetizer. The drink was orange juice and the appetizer was lobster roulade which weirdly to me was one of the best dishes of the night. We were also given some high quality bread and butter. We had three types of butter: normal, pimento and pistachio. I liked the pistachio one the most. The pimento one was good as well although it had a much subtler flavour than the pistachio butter. Now comes the best bit of the service, we were three people in total but I ordered only one dessert since my partners didn’t want any. However the staff offered two extra desserts completely on the house for my partners and I sincerely appreciated their heartfelt gesture. Overall not a bad experience but could've been better. Our total cost was 16k bdt and if it was lower and if we could've sat at the main restaurant, I think then it'd have been worthwhile but for now I'm not recommending amber room to anyone.

A wonderful evening, a perfectly cooked steak, very warm staff, special advice from the chef who came to the table to greet me and offer what was their best steak.

Food was amazing,i tried lots of stack in so many places but there stack was top notch,and the mashed potato and other items are so so good…service was great
