Truly excellent meal; food was freshly cooked and presentation perfectly. The restaurant was calm and clean with great service.

Exceptional food! Top quality ingredients that’s cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. A fantastic evening out.

I had the best experience with service. The food was not just presented well but was delicious. Can tell it was cooked freshly and been prepared with love. I love the new look and the menu. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Just had a lovely lunch for two. Chef's special. Service was attentive and friendly but not OTT. Comfortable and well appointed surroundings. Everything you could wish for. Not cheap but still good value. Highly recommended.

Many recommendations left us to finally book a table. We weren't disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed all of the food served. Service was excellent. Cost is certainly above average and thought was slightly pricey. A nice experience and enjoyed watching their winning 'come dine with me' episode afterwards. Would recommend others to visit

Very tasty food and friendly staff. This place is recommended for a fancy meal out, the menu is smaller than other places, but everything I've had was always top quality. The prices reflect this too, so for a special night out, I'd recommend this place.

After reading all the positive reviews this restaurant had a lot to live up to…………. And it did! A few observations other than the food was excellent. The place feels welcoming with modern decor and furnishings. The art was interesting. The cocktails were very professionally made. However this is a place to take your time, the food does not appear fast but that’s a good thing demonstrating the care with which it is prepared You will have a great meal, relax and enjoy.

A fantastic bistro serving well presented food with a lot of flavour. I had the Mexican prawn soup to start, pan roasted duck breast for my main & the blackberry bakewell to finish. All 3 courses hit the mark. Highly recommended if you're looking to dine out in Worthing.

First visit to Ami Bistro and was not disappointed. My brother and his wife have eaten at many restaurants across the country so for them to say the food was exceptional was the highest compliment. I had the lamb rump which was very tasty with a lovely soft fondant potato accompanied by a fabulous jus. They had crispy calamari followed by sea bream and tuna. It was finished off with homemade ice cream. This restaurant is an absolute gem and not to be missed for those who love fine dining.

The food at Ami's is utterly delicious! I have been a few times and never eaten anything that I haven't wished I was eating again the next day! Great vibe and the staff are friendly too. Here is my delicious Pork Belly from last night! A must visit for sure

Amazing restaurant, excellent attentive staff. Great selection of wines and the food is outstanding. Enjoyed a lovely evening there last Saturday. Highly recommend. Five star quality.

Me and my husband came here for our 1st wedding anniversary dinner, and it was amazing, dining experience was very private, you sit in booths so you can't really see any other diner which I love, we shared 3 starters had a main each and a dessert have no faults with anything, it was all delicious and service was top notch, we'll definitely go back.

I am at a loss why this wonderful restaurant isn't full every single night of the week. The food is incredible, the service is perfect and the setting is very nice too. 👌

We had our annual Christmas meal here and I chose the Fillet Steak,Calamari, Blue cheese sauce, green salad and Dauphinoise potatoes, all of which was delicious. Prawn cocktail starter was best I've had in a long time.

The best restaurant meal we have had for a long time. The special Lunch menu has a good selection for a very good price. However we chose from the main menu and had the most beautifully presented plates of food where every mouthful was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. We had to genuinely slow down and pace ourselves! Lovely service in a comfortable environment. We asked to meet the chef to thank him. So thank you again Spike!

Lovely dinner tonight at Ami's 💕 we had nice brie for starters and mango cocktail, followed by the most tasty, perfectly cooked Chateaubriand ( thanks chef) with cheese, wine and pepper sauce and broccoli and potatoes sides, accompanied by Australian 'sycamore' Shiraz (great choice, suggested by the very attentive waiter - thanks!). I wanted dessert but had no space for it! Everything, from service to food was top notch! Thank you, Ami's restaurant/ Ami's bistro for making my hubby's birthday unforgettable! 🥂🥰

I can’t recommend this place enough! The refurb looks fab and has really elevated the whole atmosphere. The food is beautifully presented, exceptionally high quality, and absolutely delicious, with a great selection to choose from. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Add to that an excellent wine and cocktail list, and you’ve got the perfect night out. - an absolute must‑visit.

1st time at this restaurant! Chef Spike and the staff did not disappoint. The service was excellent and the food exquisite! Had several classic dishes from different parts of Europe, Spain, Italy and France. All classic dishes familiar yet unique with Chefs signature. TY

It was lovely! The food was absolutely amazing, we had nine people, and all of us were satisfied. The staff were fantastic, very hospitable and kind. I would highly recommend this place for a party, gathering or just a nice meal out!

Great staff...friendly & attentive. It would be extremely difficult to fault any of the three courses we had here the other night. All the food was cooked, presented & tasted to prefection. Excellent choice for Coeliacs with Gluten free etc options and I wasn't made to feel as it was a "fad" or life style choice as in many venues. One of the best meals we have had in such a long time. So good that we booked in before even ordering our dessert!

This restaurant was a wonderful find in Worthing. They cooked a post wedding breakfast for fifteen of us to perfection. The food was faultless, the staff were wonderful and the plates all came piping hot and all at the same time. One of the best full English breakfasts I have tasted. We will be returning soon to sample their evening menu and I am sure from the comments that some of our guests will also be making return visits.

Beautifully presented food, well-balanced, perfectly seasoned but unpretentious. Good gluten-free options and knowledgeable staff 6 stars for the excellent service - our waiter was personable, knowledgeable and helpful. He was especially kind and patient with an elderly and rather confused guest. Thank you.

We have just had our second visit to Ami Bistro, and like the first visit the food and service was fantastic. This time we had a table of six family members, we had after meal comments like “that’s the best meal I’ve had in Worthing”, “outstanding food” and we will go there again. Well done to all involved at Ami’s Bistro we look forward to seeing you again soon.

A must dining experience in Worthing. We came for a Spanish themed night with a great local sommelier. The quality, presentation and portion sizes are incredible. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great value for money. Couldn’t fault them, will be coming back again and have been recommending to everyone!

Just had an absolutely delicious meal here from unusual cocktails to start to sumptuous starters and mouth watering mains and followed by decadent desserts. If you haven’t been then this is a place for a special meal. Enjoy

Don't miss out on this excellent restraunt! A true hidden gem in worthing. We ate last night for the tapas deal which was excellent value for money, especially considering the quality of the food and service. Each dish was carefully curated, flavourful, and absolutely delicious. You can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into each dish. There are fantastic options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike (I tried every veggie option from the tapas menu - all of them were amazing but I loved the cauliflower the most!). We absolutely loved our meal at Ami and will be returning in the future. This restraunt deserves the hype of the town! Please do book and support this fantastic business 💜

OMG!! What a fabulous place. From the moment we entered to when we left everything is on point! The food is simply delicious, presented beautifully and a real taste sensation. If you’re looking for a fine dining restaurant this is the place to go. The whole restaurant works as a team to present a wonderful and memorable dining experience. We would return in a heartbeat!!!!

Faultless food and service. Well-prepared delights throughout the extensive menu and a very good Sunday roast. They were particularly accommodating for our 7 year old who only eats chicken and chips, despite it being the Sunday lunch menu. Lovely atmosphere, delightful staff and very reasonably priced.

Service was genuinely friendly and timely. Food was delicious and served nice and hot. What really stood out for me was their inclusion of my 3 year old. We booked ahead and when we turned up they had set a place for him with toddler friendly cutlery and cup. They offered to bring his main out at the same time as our starters and a nice touch in the toilets was a built in toddler seat.

This is a wonderful little place that, to be honest, we hadn't heard of before. My girlfriend took me here as a birthday treat and it was just perfect. She had the halibut while I went for the lamb. Both were exquisite, as were the starters while the sweet, a chocolate mousse, was an experience in itself! The staff were helpful and genuinely charming. Can't recommend it enough!

Second time visiting Ami Bistro and this time was for a Tapas and Wine tasting menu. The food here is exceptional, so big hats off to the chef and the vibe is very relaxed, but trendy. Highly recommend if you have not been - great combination of friendly staff, good service and just amazing food without breaking the bank. Thanks Ami Bistro for a great evening, look forward to the next time!

We ate here on fathers day. The staff were fantastic and as I have alot of food intolerances they were amazing at catering for my needs. The food was delicious and we had a fantastic meal.

Absoulety amazing food and atomosphere, As I'm Gluten free Amy went over and above to produce the same dishes in a gluten free option. The Chateaubriand was just perfect and we will be definitely come back for another meal very soon.

Services was very good and Cocktails were beautifully made. Booth area by the front is far too tight, didn't feel too comfortable at all. Food generally looks nice and fresh. Had Fillet steak and asked for medium, and it's a little over cooked, more like medium well. Peppercorn sauce and potatoes were spot on. 1st day of trading after their holiday break, so it's forgivable.

We had a reservation for 3 but the restaurant was sadly empty of customers so we were feeling a bit lonely. The cocktail was great and the food too but not astonishing, lacked a bit of seasoning and I was not so inspired by the menu.

It was quiet for a Saturday night which was a shame. Food was good and service fine but what people have in their pocket might be a factor. Hope we don't lose places like this.

Overall the food was excellent but my broccoli was cold and soggy, and I had far too many potatoes with my steak. It felt like the potatoes were a space filler. Everyone else's food was excellent though. There's never really much atmosphere in Amis , which is a shame; given that the food is so good. Our main reason for sorting the service so low is the fact we had to pre-order our food days in advance, yet had to wait an hour and twenty minutes for our mains. Never a big fan of pre-ordering food. It takes away any spontaneity and makes it feel like a Xmas dinner set menu, which I could understand if the Tayside was packed full, or we'd had an exceptionally large party but at the time the 8 of us booked for, there were more empty tables than full ones, and what added insult to our experience was the fact the owner tried to blame us for ordering 2 intros ( a bowl of prawn crackers and a small plate of finger sausages) as to the reason we had to wait so long for our mains. In summary: Really good food overall but not the best dining " experience " .

We decided to book Ami after seeing many photos and good reviews online. Unfortunately our experience didn’t seem to reflect the majority of reviews, perhaps an off night? We had the pork belly and the duck as mains, both were dry, chewy and not done fresh to order, same as the garlic potatoes which we had as a side. I have to say the bao buns were good as a starter and would recommend these! We were really disappointed, the value for money was poor and left us with the feeling that Ami could be ‘food decoration merchants’, I hope that’s not the case and glad to see there’s been a lot of positives since they opened. The decor felt cheap and atmosphere was weird. Also weird being sat at a table for 4 with just 2 of you, this didn’t feel like a premium experience which is what the prices suggest should be the case. Lastly, the service was good but not amazing, guy behind the bar was friendly and made good cocktails. I’d happily welcome comments back from Ami regarding this.

We booked this restaurant to celebrate a special 40th birthday which I told the restaurant on booking. We had a lovely booth and the waiting staff were attentive. However our evening was spoiled by a table of 8 the other side of the room who were excessively loud. They weren’t youngsters but were so caught up with themselves and with their loud communicationthey had no thought to the affect their shouting and excessively loud talking had on other diners: .we couldn’t hear each other talking on our table as a result. The cocktails were sublime but the food was average and no way fine dining. If I wanted to eat spicy food I would have booked a table at a top Indian or Thai restaurant which would have been offered diverse, tasty, and better value dishes. Very disappointed as it was a special birthday but nothing special about our choice of restaurant. Sorry we won’t return.

We chose Ami for my Dad’s 75th Birthday - a booking of 20. We’d communicated weeks in advance regarding the deposits and pre-orders, and my mum called twice to check that the tables would not have anyone sat on the end (as head of table) - once on the day itself - explaining we had a seating plan with everyone opposite one another. We’d pre-agreed with the restaurant that the party would arrive at 6:30pm for drinks, with food from 7:30pm. On arrival, we found they’d split up the party into 2 tables! 1 table was so carelessly laid out that you couldn’t get in on one side and barely the other. Despite having just 2 tables for 2 people in the middle of the room, they wouldn’t do what we asked (and expected) and put us on 1 long table for health and safety. Even having the cheek to say ‘there was no prior discussion on either side about the seating plan’ - if you book a table for any size, you do not expect to be separated without being told at the time of booking! This meant me having to do my best to redo the seating plan rather than being with our guests as they arrived. It also meant 4 sets of people being on the end of the tables rather than 2, and 10 people with backs to each other. More importantly, separating my parents on Dad’s special evening. Having arrived for 6:30pm for drinks, they didn’t seem at all set up for this. One of the staff commented that ‘they’re not licensed to sell at the bar and are doing us a favour’. Asking us to sit down because of the other (4) guests…there’s a courtyard garden, not even an offer of the use of this. They took a long time to serve the drinks. Why would we arrive an hour before food to just sit at the table? We’d have gone to a bar! There was no attempt to offer us any compensation, i.e. some free drinks, for the obvious upset. To top it off, they added a service charge to the drinks despite the food also having a 12.5% charge! The only extra effort they did make was to put a candle in Dad’s dessert - pretty standard. Despite leaving it a few days since we were there, no-one has been in touch, which says a lot. Whilst the food was reasonable, the service we received was not. We’d spent Dad’s 70th there and had an entirely different experience. Apparently the ownership has changed. Were we surprised to see it half full on a Friday night? Sadly not. We won’t be returning again and the experience didn’t impress a number of potential new customers.
