I'm not so sure about that. Perhaps others have more detail, but IIRC the Ambassadors are charged with making your travel easier. So making a rezzie at a restaurant where you live? Doubtful. But a restaurant recommendation/rezzie in another city? Yes, I'd ask for help with that, assuming that the Ambassador would reach out to a local Concierge at a Starwood property.
