    Service was terrible. We sat with dishes on the table for a half hour before they were cleared. The kale salad was drowning in salad dressing. And to add a service charge without saying anything is really poor form

    I have been wanting to try for a long time and was not disappointed. The food was really delicious with large portions and the service was exemplary - everyone on the service team was friendly and professional and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely return.

    We were here on a Tuesday night about 9 pm so it's not exactly typical. Everything was excellent, surprisingly so, as the prices are moderate (remember, gratuity is included although add a bit more). I had the dorade, which I can't recommend enough: the presentation was beautiful, it was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were great. Service was fine too. I'm not going to say anything about the wine list as prices are high, too high as far as I'm concerned.

    The food was very good and the service excellent. the minimalist decor was not pleasing to me and bc ther was to carpet or soft decor to absorb the sound, it was quite noisy . The staff and service were excellent and the food very good but bc of the decor and noise I would not return.

    I was there in a party of 4. We enjoyed the food and found the service excellent. We appreciated that there were non meat selections on the menu. However we had no advance notice that there was to be loud live music in a small space. We came from out of town to spend time with friends and could not carry on conversations once the music began. We asked twice that it be lowered and finally left after the main meal not willing to spend any relaxing time at the end having to tolerate inappropriately loud music.

    AmaliResponded on March 15, 2023Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest feedback, Wendy. We're so happy you enjoyed the food and service! We are truly saddened that your experience was not as great as we would have liked given the music volume. We have Live Music every Sunday evening from 7:00-9:00pm.

    Absolutely exquisite. Amali really hits it out of the park. Every dish was sophisticated in its flavor profile, and wine was absolutely top tier. We also are a group of people well versed on food and wine, and we were even impressed. The ambiance is amazing and very cozy and intimate but also versatile so anything from a date night dinner to a team corporate dinner can be enjoyed at the establishment. It was also the proper sound level where our group of 8 could hear each other talk, much appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and definitely will be visiting again soon.
