Frequently Asked Questions :

A turn time policy is one that allows for a predetermined amount of time a table will take to enjoy their experience. Given the nature of our product and fast paced environment, we have found the most optimal times for diners to enjoy our offerings based on the amount of guests at a table.

Outdoor Patio Seating Notice
For guests reserving a table on our outdoor patio, please note that our patio is fully covered, and the outdoor elements should not significantly affect your dining experience. However, as weather conditions can be unpredictable, we are unable to guarantee an indoor table should the weather become unfavorable.

At Amara, we do our best to accommodate allergies and certain dietary restrictions whenever possible. A small handful of our dishes can be modified by removing or substituting ingredients; however, not every request will be accommodated.
Our menu is thoughtfully curated, and many of our dishes are handcrafted and intended to be enjoyed as designed. To preserve the integrity of each dish, some modifications may not be possible. Additionally, we are unable to create off-menu or custom dishes to accommodate dietary preferences or restrictions.
If you have an allergy or dietary concern, please let us know when making your reservation & inform your server upon arrival. We’ll be happy to guide you toward the options that may best suit your needs.
