About Us

Bistro Amasa is a neighborhood bistro where old-world technique meets bold California creativity. Housed in the historic Upham Hotel, it’s a place for unhurried meals and long conversations. Classic dishes are reimagined with contemporary flair, paired with thoughtful wines, clever cocktails, and a setting that blends Victorian charm with modern warmth.
