Excellent food, good atmosphere, and SO pretentious.

Mambu is a very cool place?but one of those places you wouldn?t go in unless a friend told you it was okay. The food is ?fusion? style and I?ve never been too sure what it?s supposed to fuse, but it was very good. The portions were a little small, but Mambu?s not one of those ?strap on the food bag? sort of places. Anyplace where the servers takes 10 minutes to tell you what kind of waters they have should tip you off that you?re going to be hungry in a couple of hours, but you?re supposed to go there for the quality, not the quantity. If a smorgasbord is your idea of a good time, stay out of Mambu, but if really excellent food means anything to you, I?d try it. One thing, though. They shouldn?t call a place that charges this much a cafe.
- Pros: The chef's an artist
- Cons: A bit on the pretentious side.

not all that

The decor and ambiance of Mambu is certainly cool and quirky and I received good, but not overly speedy, service. However, the food is just OK - nothing special. The menu items offered sound like they should be good, but something happens in the kitchen to just kill the meal. My husbands paella-ish dish was overly hot without having any real other flavor and my fish had a poor texture. And really guys...stop with the mango salsa already. Since I am allergic to mango, my menu choices were nearly halved.
- Pros: fun decor, comfortable ambiance
