Bar Ama (DTLA)—DoorDash

Peony: 6/10. I thought the food tonight tasted good. The overall flavor is light. My favorite dish was the mushroom stew, which was more special than the other dishes. All the other dishes were fine.

Warrior: 5/10. I gave a highly positive review for Orsa & Winston recently, so I am going to be unrestrained with my criticism tonight. I haven’t enjoyed the bold-flavored cooking at any of Josef Centeno’s other restaurants. I didn’t like Lazy Ox, Baco Mercat, or P.Y.T., and I give thumbs down to Bar Ama as well. The flavors are muddy, and the dishes are discomforting. I would actually prefer to eat ordinary Tex Mex like El Cholo. It is hard for me to believe this restaurant has the same head chef as Orsa & Winston, which is light years more sophisticated.
