The restaurant taking over the ex-Ovio space in The Junction has finally pulled the wraps off its website (menu info here, explanation of its name here) — and it’s opening for business this Friday, after a shakedown cruise Thursday, announced in this e-mail sent out early today and forwarded by a WSB reader (thank you!):

Well, we are finally ready to open! We know it’s very last minute, but we wanted to thank you for your interest and offer you a chance to come in, say hello, and sample our fare before we officially open our doors this Friday. So if you are in the neighborhood and in an “adventurous” mood, we would love to have you RSVP and come in for our Pre-Opening Dinner on Thursday, October 18th.

Why “adventurous?” Well, because Thursday will be our first night serving a full menu and our last night of staff training, so there are bound to be a few glitches and surprises. For example, we are still waiting on our liquor license, so we may not be able to offer full bar service, but we are going to try to get our license by then. But if you are just a little bit patient and understanding, you will get a sneak peek at our totally remodeled interior and be one of the first to taste our new menu offerings.

And we will give you 50% off your food for being adventurous. Seating is limited, available only to those who have previously registered with us at www.Ama-AmaSeattle.com. And only those with reservations will be allowed in the restaurant this Thursday. So please RSVP today!

We hope to see you Thursday – or sometime soon.

We are extremely excited to meet all of you!
Rob and Paige

    Curious if anyone has tried to RSVP for Thursday? I went to the site, the only place I could find that made sense was under the “sign up” tab. I haven’t heard back yet…

    The email I received had a phone number in it – you could only sign up via phone, and you had to previously be on the mailing list and get that email with the phone number in order to RSVP.
    That said, I can’t RSVP since I won’t be free tomorrow night.

    Cool!
    I’ve always been pissed off that I had to go all the way to Alki to get some good seafood. Hopefully, this place will fill that obvious hole in the Junction.
    The Oyster Po Boy is first on my list!

    Stopped by Ama-Ama around 3:30 to see if we were on their list. Very full for Thurs, but having “Soft Opening” TONITE! Just returned from a great meal with less glitches than a normal experience. Seafood chowder is a great buy.
    Mixed Green Salad and Salad with Shrimp are very good. Black cod was cooked perfectly and Monk fish was “interesting”. No wine yet, but they did have beer. Might be worth checking into to see if there is still more room tonite.

    Got to go to “soft opening”
    Loved the calamari
    Loved the steamed clams – we just kept dipping the bread in the juice after all the clams were gone!
    Loved the mac n cheese with mushrooms
    Hooray for ama-ama!

Sorry, comment time is over.
