Great food, but bring your own wine – The service is decent, the ambiance is good, but not very intimate. Wine is way overpriced, even the cheap ones (they were selling 10-15 State store wine for 60-80). Unfortunate, because you don't want to ruin your food. If they allow BYO wine, I'd definitely recommend you do that & the corking fee.

Always wonderful – 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.

Great food – 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).

Fantastic Food - Servers need personality – We went to Bambara last evening and had a great experience. We arrived 30 minutes early to have cocktails in the bar. The bar service was less than personable, but we enjoyed the atmosphere. After we finished our cocktails, we went into the dining room for dinner. We started off with the calamari (EXCELLENT) and the tuna tartar (beautiful presentation - but not a favorite). We ordered a bottle of champagne (good bottle - unfortunately the server had no idea how to open a bottle cor... read more

New Chef leads to great food. – Bamabara has always had decent food but I dined there last night and it was impressive. Their new chef clearly can innovate and it was apparent through the piquillo peppers stuffed with crab, cedar planked salmon with poblano chile sauce was perfect and a impeccably cooked crusted sea bass. Can't beat the wine list and the dessert expert that dined with us said teh panna cotta was one of the best he had ever tried. The restaurant is clearly matching their eccletic hotel with some great food co... read more

Very nice inside and great food – This is my second time to Bambara and the food both times was great. The first visit was for a friend?s birthday and the service was just OK, she made it obvious that she was not happy that we brought our own wine to have with dinner; however the food and dessert were very good. The second visit was excellent, yes we brought our own wine and the waiter was receptive and seemed OK with that, the food once again was very good. I want to give kudos to the host that I made reservations with; he ... read more

Continual favourite – Citysearch only allows 2000 characters to write a review. I really need more to be able to wax lyrical about Bambara. Where to start!? From arrival and greeting to a digestif at the end of the meal, Bambara is typically flawless. I have been many times over the last 5 years and am always welcomed on arrival asa long time friend. Make sure you grab a table by the windows were you can pretend your whiling an evening away in a bigger city. The service is second to none. The friendly team of wait staff know... read more

Out of this bubble we call Utah! – The food and ambiance of this place is reminiscent of some other worldly city..... If you want a great meal, beautifully made and arranged like a true presentation - this is definitely the place you should come! Don't think you can afford to be a regular - not true! Order one of their fabulous appetizers and you are set for lunch anytime!!
