    We had a delicious lunch from the new sandwich menu! My mom had the crab cake sandwich and raved and I had the caprese and even though it was a small portion, it was delicious. We shared the pistachio cheesecake and it was also fabulous!

    Amelia's is a beautiful restaurant with amazing ambience. We sat on the sun porch. The nice white table cloths and table settings were soothing. The food was wonderful. I had Shrimp Oreganata and my wife had Barelli's Chicken. Both were delicious. The wine selection was adequate but I thought a bit pricey for most folks. Overall we enjoyed our time there.

    I always love this restaurant even under its new name. I was also pleasantly surprised about how accommodating the chef was to my gluten allergy. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic!

    We went to try their food because of restaurant week. Their portions were smaller than advertised. The manager was not very pleasant explaining the difference, and did not own up to the mistake. One of their 3 choices of appetizers was out at 6pm. Very disappointing. And they put us (2 people) next to a table of 8 people who were very loud.

    Service wax amazing ! Manager and waitress and servers all great. Good not do much . Resturant week portions were so small for $42. My seafood dinner dish had 4 mussels , 2 shrimps and one scallup. Filet mignon was 5 0z at best . Taste on both dishes just okay . Both lacked something . Manager said it was Sunday Cook so off a little . She did give us a small discount . Place and team very nice . But do not do resturant week and charge $42 for basically appy size dinners .

    We are always happy to share this place we love with newcomers. This time our visit fell inadvertently into Restaurant Week so was incredibly busy (and thus noisy). We were promptly offered a table in the otherwise-jammed main dining room, but when we declined in favor of waiting a bit for our requested enclosed porch seating, our polite refusal was met with understanding and equally courteous acceptance. Not long after, the manager led is through the crowd to a just-freed porch table — quieter, slightly more private, and infinitely more atmospheric; well done! The meal, it goes without saying, was delicious and perfectly presented.

    This was our return visit from just a week ago. We loved it just as much but found that many more people must have heard about it. Our wait to be seated with our reservation was a bit longer than expected but was within reason. Food was tasty as expected and ambiance is wonderful!
