Having read over others' reviews, I wonder what I have to add to the conversation. It seems like some were dissatisfied with the service, but I've been to Hambar several times and have always been well looked after. I do tend to sit at the bar, so that may have affected my experience.
The food is inventive, gorgeously presented, and delicious. They pickle their own vegetables here and use them throughout the ever-changing menu to brighten up the dishes.
The by-the-glass wine list is extensive. The desserts are worth saving room for.
Whether it's for a glass of wine and charcuterie plate, a full meal, or a late night snack, I think Hambar hits the nail on the head.
