Editorial Review for Bambara – by Vanessa Chang
The Scene
The interior boasts bold colors and designs that carry the concept from the surrounding Hotel Monaco. Metal work, wood and lush upholstery create the generous and intimate seating areas. The exposed kitchen enhances the lively chatter of locals and visitors in the main dining area as well as the bar located at the other end of the restaurant.
The Food
With the flavors of regional American cuisine in mind, menu staples from the usual meat and potatoes to perennial continental favorites like pasta get innovative twists. The signature house blue cheese potato chips whet the appetite with a good balance of savory sharpness and velvety starchiness. The Morgan Valley lamb is cooked to melting perfection. Desserts are some of the best in town, decadent yet bright with flavors--from tropical fruits to rich chocolate. Ice creams are made on premises, too.

We've eaten at this restaurant many times for special occasions as well as business lunches and it's never disappointed. The menu is always interesting and the specials are inventive. The space is the most lovely restoration of an elegant old bank building and could not be prettier. I know how difficult it is to be consistent but we have never had a bad meal or poor service at Bambara -- the entire staff is completely professional and they know what they're doing.

When i called for the reservation, they asked if it was for a special occasion. I was taking my girlfriend here for dinner. They had a very nice suprise for her. The service was great, food was tasty and a classy place to eat. As far as the price it was about 55 bucks a person (without wine).
