What the community has to say about Amu

Information about this business (1)

Amu is a small Japanese bistro and sake bar located just off of the west end of the Pearl Street Mall.

They don't take reservations for smaller parties so you need to be lucky to get a table in this small place. But, it's worth it the moment you sit down. All of the food was delicious. They even gave us a special treat in the start of our meal and at the end, compliments of the chef. Very nice touch.

Impressively clean and bright flavors. Elegantly presented. We ate in the back room, which was a fun experience (just don't wear a short skirt). The service was attentive but not intrusive. A great date night.
