Food was beyond amazing. Heirloom tomatoes packed a punch - steak was buttery and melted in my mouth. We’ll be back!

Truly the one of the best dining experience I've had. A new to me instant favorite, with a particular appeal to return due to the weekly rotating menu, and trust that the food will always be fresh and delicious. The service was exceptional. Beyond the food and service, the resturant composition creates a relaxed atmosphere but with an obvious attention to detail from floor to ceiling. I was impressed by the character brought to each dish by the ceramic choices and plating. I highly recommend this resturant!

The food was incredible but my server was terrible. She kept trying to get me to buy more. When I said I didnt have room for dessert she suggested I buy one and take it home. I took her advice and the dessert ended up being a mess of a puddle that I had to throw out. All of the staff asked me if I was there for a special occasion and when I said it was my 60th birthday they said "we love to celebrate birthdays with our customers" and then did absolutely nothing. I don't need any more fake people in my life.

Amazing food! Meeting Gregory and talking with him made the experience wonderful. Absolutely love the place, it was just too hot inside (A/C was not working as expected). But other than that, amazing! A repeat one for sure (just during colder times ;) )

Always a fabulous time at Amilinda, especially for the Pride🌈 brunch. I really loved the Peri Peri chicken with waffles and spicy maple syrup
