    Took an hour for 4 people to have their entrees on a Tuesday evening! Ridiculous! Waiter was no where to be found, when we did see him he was apologizing that everything was coming out late. Not worth the hype

    Had to wait 15 minutes for our table. The noise level was loud. Food was average at best and had to wait almost an hour to have a dinner brought to us. Not sure I would go back.

    Food was delicious, as always. Lauren, our server, was outstanding. We enjoyed an early Father’s Day dinner with family in from out of town. Everyone raved about their meal and we were still talking about it days later. Thank you!

    It was my husband’s birthday and Amelia did not disappoint. Service was on point. Food was delicious, chicken Parmesan was no everyday Chicken Parmesan! It was superb❤️ Our server was adorable, friendly, no pushy and very efficient. Only issue, upon arrival inside the person who greeted us, didn’t know how to juggle us and an incoming call. She opted for the phone. Immediately someone came to our rescue and the night was a delight ❤️🎉

    The food was very good but the whole restaurant was 100 degrees inside! Literally trying to sweat us out of there. Probably will not go back

    Food is always great and location is unbeatable. While service has gotten better over the years, they still struggle a bit.

    Really great experience at Amelia’s over Memorial Day weekend. We had (on our side) a little confusion on our reservation time but the host was quick to tell us it wasn’t an issue and seated us about 15 minutes early. The calamari was fantastic, the ambience was great and it really wasn’t very loud in the side room that we were sitting in. Our kids (who were exhausted from a full day at the beach) didn’t make it long so we asked for their food to be boxed and were on our way in about an hour from seated to check. Would go again if in the jersey shore area

    We had an amazing meal. The only disappointment was the size of the shrimp and a shrimp cocktail. It almost felt like they ran out of jumbo shrimp and made do with a smaller size. The staff was very good and very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. We would go back for sure.
