AMBAR is a Balkan restaurant in River North known for its Unlimited Ambar Experience—a tasting menu format with small portions of 2+ dozen dishes, plus unlimited drinks. Reviewers rave about the beef goulash, house sangria, and Turkish coffee, and praise the attentive service and European-quality execution. The main caveat: the unlimited format works best if you arrive hungry and pace yourself, since portion sizes are intentionally small to let you try everything.
