Best KPortal Reviews
I got the fettuccini Alfredo and my boyfriend got the lobster ravioli which we both enjoyed our meals. The lobster ravioli was a small portion size which is why I’m giving 4 stars. The Alfredo was much bigger and it was super creamy.
Our waiter was very nice and attentive, and our food came out quickly.
The restaurant is very nice inside and decorative, also very clean.
It is definitely a nice establishment and I would return but be prepared it is really pricey
We really enjoyed our dining experience here. Melissa was out server and she was phenomenal. All her dish recommendations were spot on. Food was delicious and portions were generous. We'll definitely return!
Food was delicious, service absolutely delightful. Would absolutely recommend. We will definitely make a trip to Gainesville for another visit.
This restaurant is awesome. Greg our waiter was awesome we didn’t have a reservation and we were still able to be seated. We would highly recommend this restaurant. Patrick and Mary.
Was hesitant to dine here with the mixed reviews but so glad we did! Celebrated our 7th anniversary here while in Gainesville. Such a beautiful and charming building and atmosphere. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive. We had the Caprese appetizer, Cesar salad (upgrade to the Cesar!! So good!) pesto linguine & shrimp Florentine. Entrees were generous and we brought a lot home. Our waitress congratulated us on our anniversary and sent us with a complimentary dessert. Other reviews complained about slow service but I saw it as they are not rushing you like most restaurants. It’s a place to go enjoy your time and relax. We walked over from our hotel so no parking issues but there is plenty of 2 hour parking all over the area that we were told is not really enforced. It was too cold to dine outside but I’m recommending it to all my fam in the area because I bet when the weather is nicer that is a great experience. Thanks for a wonderful evening Amelia’s :)
Possibly the longest I’ve ever waited for food. Over 90 minutes and that’s only because the server was trying her best to push the kitchen along. Another table near us waited even longer and finally just paid for their drinks and left!!! At 10pm I told her to just box it up when it was ready so we could eat at our hotel. Our server said every table she had that night complained so I have to assume this is standard practice. Food was just ok, the sweet server was lovely and tried her best but this was clearly a chef/kitchen problem. What a mess and very expensive for what ended up being takeout.
Wow! A magnificent time at Amelia's! Our server David was very charming and helpful. He recommended an off menu special in the blackened salmon that was very good! The ambiance was very quaint, though the music in the dining room was a bit drab. We will certainly come back the next time we are in town visiting our daughter!
This evening broke my heart. My wife and I had tried for several weeks to get a reservation here. She loves fettuccine Alfredo. Finally got a reservation for 8 p.m. we showed up 15 min early, as you should, and let them know we were there. The hostess said give me 10 min and I'll get you seated, so we waited in the courtyard. Beautiful brick courtyard with jasmine growing everywhere. Just romantic.
We get taken through the restaraunt to a room way in the back. It was romantic and quiet. Our table had just been reset. We were sat and received fresh ice water and hot bread with butter. Unfortunately the bread, butter and drinks were the only thing worth bragging about.
We sat in a room with 3 dirty tables and a long party table full of dishes napkins and drinks from the time we got there, till we left. The poor waitress was so frazzled. I will not name her because she was kind and did her best and was apologetic. She was the only waitress for 7 tables and a huge party. Probably understaffed, like the rest of most business today so we have become accustomed to long waits, that wasnt the problem.
I ordered chicken parmesan with a Ceasars salad $25+ and she ordered fettuccine alfredo $22+. Not bad for fine dining. I'd say we waited 40 min for the food to come out. I got my salad as a precursor and it tasted like lettuce mixed with mayo and parmesan. Not Cesar. The chx parm came out piping hot, but burnt.. super burnt. They took it back, then my pasta came out. So I had pasta and no parm lol. The pasta sauce was so salty, I couldn't even swallow it. So my pasta sat for another 5-7 min before my new chicken parm came out. It wasn't burnt. It was beautiful, piping hot with sauce and gooey mozzarella cheese dripping off of it...except it was the super salty sauce. The waitress automatically took off my meal and offered a free dessert. I didn't come for free food lol. . Came to a fine dining restaraunt to treat my wife to a delicious meal. Her fettuccine waslike marshmallows with pepper over noodles lol. Very bland. We never got our free dessert. We were never served oil for our bread, no little plates for our silverware, and the candle on our table wasnt lit. Sadface. This was our last hope for a decent Italian restaraunt in Gainesville.
