Amalibrunch vs dinnerHad dinner here a few months back and was outstanding. Best octopus ever with no char. Service great. Low key atmosphere.
Brunch/lunch totally different on Saturday. Savory dishes and different menu. Only negative was mussels slightly overcooked. Would not hesitate to recommend especially for dinner.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMA group of 4 of us had a lateA group of 4 of us had a late evening meal on a Sunday and enjoyed it tremendously. Appetizers we had all were delicious - octopus, mussels (enough for 4!), and smoked trout salad. Similarly, main courses of ribeye, scallops, fresh fish of the day, and cavatelli all were great. Service was very good. I am glad we decided to try Amali and hope to go back.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWent for a dinner date withWent for a dinner date with my boyfriend and the service is the first thing I'll recommend. The sommelier was very helpful, identifying a Greek white wine based off of previous Greek grapes that we have had. The bottle didn't come for a while, so after we inquired, it turns out they were chilling it even longer because as they retrieved the bottle from the cellar, they didn't think it was the right temperature. They were also the ones to noticed that our table was uneven and fixed it before we even noticed. It's these little details that made the service exceptional. We had the Octopus a la Plancha as a starter then shared the Black Sea Bass with broccoli. Everything is delicious, especially the Octopus. Definitely recommend it!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMMenu was small which was aMenu was small which was a little concerning at first. After the food arrived and we started tasting all my worries disappeared. Excellent food and great service.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMLove that all their food isLove that all their food is so fresh and unusual. Fish straight from the fisherman in Montauk, burrata only when it's flown in from Italy and a proper full bar with all the single malts I could wish.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMI celebrated my 40th BirthdayI celebrated my 40th Birthday with a group of friends from Australia. The food was divine with excellent service and fabulous champagne and wine. The staff were fantastic and we sat outside under the skylight which was perfect. The ricotta doughnuts and the chicken under a brick were to die for and the vegetarian amongst us was also very happy with the choices available. A fantastic time had by all.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMSuperbVery helpful staff in describing dishes and helping to select and combine plates. We shared everything, and it was all superb, interesting, luscious. The room became very noisy as it became more crowded. By the end of dinner, we couldn't hear each other. A bit pricy, especially the wine. But a memorable meal for a foodie.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMA secret place to shareOur second visit was as pleasant as our first. The staff was very attentive and the food was excellent. They imbue the dishes with sublime flavors not found in the traditional boring restaurant fare. Healthy portions of fresh ingredients, and great dessert too.12/3/2012 12:00:00 AM
