   I was very unhappy with the food. Very bland and poorly seasoned. Over priced for the quality of the meal. Seriver was very kind and attentive, however when I made the reservation I checked for a birthday and was never asked. Bar was out of many drinks and selection was minimal.

   Our server, Lupine was the highlight of the experience. Service like that is few and far between. We were celebrating our 26th anniversary as a male couple and we felt incredibly welcome and at ease. (Not always the case) The food was marvelous. At first we both ordered the steak and was disappointed that only one was left but luckily we chose the lobster ravioli which gave us the opportunity the share both. So glad for that. Thank you for a lovely evening. We will be back.

   The Surf and Turf entree was excellent and was easily shared by my wife and I with a little steak leftover. The almond ice cream and Amaretto was a delight and also easily shared.

    We had a very pleasant dinner at Amelia's. +Friendly service, tasty dishes, great Caesar salad and dessert -Sauce on the chicken was a bit salty, house wines could improve, would have been nice to be offered additional bread

    The only thing I can say is there was one other couple in the back dinning room with us and the front dining room was full which made the service in the back a little slow .

    We have been going to Amelias for 15 years. It is our favorite special occasion (sometimes any day of the week is a special occasion) restaurant and the food and service have always been wonderful. We miss chef Andy but are glad that he lives on as very little has changed.

    Amelia's is in desperate need of some ambiance! The bright lights and vintage decorations need some work. Not terribly inviting. Food was decent, service was slow. Probably wouldn't go back.

    It took 1hr and 40 min to get our food for two people. And we had a reservation… The food was good enough but by that point we were just ready to leave and felt that it was not worth it. Also, sitting right by the door when there were several other open tables was not great. Would not go back

    This is a great place for a special date night, which is what my wife and I were there for! The wait staff is very friendly and the food and drink choices are excellent! It is very cozy for the indoor seating, which means the toom fills with noise quickly. However, it is not a distraction from the great dining experience!

    Food as usual was spectacular. I had the chicken piccata and it was moist tender and delightful. This is the first time in years I have eaten inside and found it very crowded, tables are way too close to each other.

    Restaurant had no veal for veal dishes. so we had pasta bolognese which was excellent. Restaurant had no Cab savig by the glasss! instead had the house pinot noir and merlot. Brand was Folonari which i didn't care for but maybe just me. Parking close by is a pain. You have to download an app and log on to pay. Restaurant will reimburse for parking.

    We had an outstanding meal, great service despite the fact that there were only 2 servers. The owner helped them and they couldn’t have been more efficient. Her recommendations for our meals were perfect! The 1/2 price bottle of wine was a bonus. We would definitely come back again. Wishing you all the best!

    Portions seem to have gotten smaller since we last visited. My wife's meal was extremely small considering the cost. Dress code is not enforced which affected the atmosphere to a degree. Food tasted very good, but between the portion sizes and lack of uniformity it was not what we remembered or expected.

    Honored reservation time to be seated. Was backed up in kitchen so slow to get cold soup bread came with meal because they ran out and needed to warm more Heard that mentioned at all tables around us. Food was nicely prepared but my dish came out a full ten minutes before my dates and eggplant parmigiana was cool, cheese already firmed up, or never melted 😕 Nice size restaurant with seating indoors and out but kitchen was not able to keep up with diners.

    The food was absolutely gross. Of the large party, no one like their food. It was the worst Italian meal I’ve ever had, specially for the price. Beyond over priced, wouldn’t eat there for free. Chicken parm over cooked, bolognese looked and tasted horrid, the side pasta seemed like it was flavorless red sauce out of a can. Waited over an hour for the terrible food. Bathrooms were extremely dirty. Place is just very bad! Runaway while you can.

    Our server was very nice but seemed a bit stressed. The food tasted very good. We all had pasta dishes. Only comment was the pasta was undercooked. It needed a another minute to Al dente. But otherwise was a lovely dinner.

    Our server was on point! She went above and beyond. The food was ok. We order the spinach and artichoke antipasti, it was good but the crostini that came with it, was too salty. The main course was good but not for the level and value they advertise. We order chicken parm, it was a little burnt, under seasoned, too much sauce and little cheese, the veal florentino was seasoned good but it felt that was reheated. Pasta was not al dente, it was undercook and cold. Drinks were serve in the same cup, not even rinse. We waited too long for our food to arrive, thinking it was fresh but it felt like chain restaurant quality, but no from one that promote as a fine Italian cuisine.

    This was the first time me and my boyfriend ever went to a fine dining restaurant and we are easily pleased. This was our 2-year anniversary and this place made us feel special. It took us a while to get our food, but they are short staffed; give them a break. They have OUTSTANDING, AMAZING food. We only had a small issue with the Lobster Ravioli, my boyfriend didn’t taste too much of the lobster, but he still enjoyed it. My Fettuccine Alfredo: MWAH. It was better than all the other ones I’ve ever had. I love how small the restaurant is, it’s a very intimate environment where if there were many people in it, it must feel so alive and comfy. Thank you Drew, our waiter, for serving us and to the host being so lovely. My parents are definitely looking forward to coming here! :)))

    Took a long time for our waiter to get to us. After complaint, hostess got us going w beverages, water and bread. Caprese salad ok; but florida has better tomatoes than the ones I got. Note to chef: buy local. Eggplant parmigiana was tasty, but not real hot; linguini was kinda soft, not Al dente, for sure and warm. I guess they have a thing about “pacing your meal” but please, pace the prep to match. We had a nice time. The locals were out on Halloween eve for the last day of a festival. People watching was good. I’ll end on a positive: the cocktail pour is generous. So we left full and glowing.

    Always visit Amelia’s when we are in the area. Like to have a reservation to make sure of availability. Excellent meal and service. Never have been disappointed. Waiter was new to us and provided excellent service. Even pointed us in “the right direction” when we really got turned around due to streets being closed because of three different musical events. Definitely recommend.
