Since we were just passing through, and since we were looking for a restaurant with outdoor seating , so we could take our two small dogs with us, I looked online for such a place. Luckily we found Amelia's, we were seated outside, as we requested, a super nice server ( Becca) took our order and made some very good... More

We just came from Amelia's. Amelia's was the restaurant my husband took me for our first date 5 years ago so we always remember it fondly. We are visiting GNV and of course decided to go back. I had a small fear that maybe, just maybe, it was not as good as I thought it was 5 years ago. Well,... More

On a cross country trip, we found the best restaurant of our trip. The dining room was simple but elegant with starched white tablecloths and napkins. It was early on a rainy Sunday afternoon and we were immediately seated. The wait staff was clearly professional and knowledgeable about menu choices and gave us great suggestions. Our server was was friendly... More

Our Investment Club held their annual dinner meeting at this restaurant. It was a pleasant evening so we sat outside overlooking a plaza. Very nice. We ordered appetizers and drinks and never felt rushed or like we were being ignored. Our dinners came and were delicious and the service was excellent. We talked about it for several months after and... More

This is our first winter living in the area from outside Albany NY which has many wonderful Italian restaurants, We were thinking we would not locate a similar experience here, but after last night's meal, I have to say it surpasses anything we have at "home". Our service was more than attentive, informative, personal and our server was extremely knowledgeable.... More

We had an outstanding experience. The chef, who greeted the diners, has a deft hand and has assembled a thoughtful menu. Two of our party had grouper and the two different preparations were each grand. The fis ws he freshest and the sauces complemented it beautifully. The house-made lobster ravioli was sublime. Our server was attentive and helpful. Highly recommended!... More
