This place is located inside a plaza from the outside. You would think it was a laundromat and the minute you walk in you were transported back to the 1800s we walked in and they had live music which really set the tone and atmosphere. We started off with the pork belly and tuna torta Both absolutely delicious. Then we had the Amelia Burguer, It was very interesting, but I felt like the chorizo made it a bit overwhelming. For drinks I had a pineapple margarita that was not my favorite and we also had a Piku machu? Can't remember the name but it was really strong. We didn't have space for dessert, but we will definitely come back and try other plates. Service was great ambience was amazing. I really feel like i was at my grandma's house. Perfect for date night.
Amelia's is an absolute GEM! You would never expect what awaits for you inside from the outside shopping center where it's located. I'm a regular at Finka, their sister restaurant, and this restaurant simply does not miss. I've been here twice, and both times have been nothing but spectacular. The food, ambiance, and service are top notch. They also play live music on specific days of the week which makes it a cute restaurant to go and sit at the bar for a casual date! 10/10
We stopped by after having dinner. So we only tried the croquetas and pork belly appetizers. The drinks were amazing the service was good. It was Saturday so they had live music. Great relaxed place, food was also amazing. Would definitely recommend.
Holly Holly hole in the wall. Place is amazing Food is delicious! Live music The service A+++++++++ The mussels and escargot wow !!!! Will definitely be back keep up the good work guys Evan thank you
Pleasantly surprised! Restaurant is in a typical casual shopping center, but upon entering you definitely feel the Cuban ambiance and eclectic decor. Great service and some really good Cuban dishes with a twist. Will definitely be back.
I went to Amelia's and I hadn't been there for a while. They expanded it with an amazing bar and bigger areas for dinner. The service was a little slow. It took some time for them to even acknowledge that we were there, which is why they didn't get five stars The food was really good. I only ordered appetizers, but the taste was good and the cocktails were pretty delicious as well. They have a live band, which is my favorite part. Definitely recommend it is a fun time.
Amelia's is wonderful and I think they are sooooo underrated. The place is gorgeous and so private. The staff is super friendly. The food is full of flavor and carefully crafted(the appetizers are better than the entrees). And they are especially known for the drinks. Incredible bartender. I have gone around 5 times now with different friends. P.S. Reservation is a MUST.
So if you love speakeasies, great cocktails and unique but delicious food, you're definitely gonna love this place. It has an unassuming entrance as a dry cleaner in a mostly residential area with and a 1920s vibe. They seated us immediately in a beautiful booth, and the server explained all of the menu options. The menu is a fusion of Cuban and Asian specialties. They even have live music on Thursdays and Saturdays. Each of us ordered something different and I must say that none of them disappointed. So looking forward to coming back.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would...it exceeded every expectation and is truly a gem in the unlikeliest of places: Kendall. Coming in, we were confused by the entrance...it looks like a dry cleaner but in wonderful speakeasy style you move past a curtain of dry cleaning garments and into a vintage style bar, with dim lighting, jazz playing and a decor that is simultaneous cozy and elegant. It's classy without being pretentious. But the FOOD. Wow. That was the word used over and over with each new bite, and everything--I mean, everything--was absolutely delicious. We had: Tuna Aguachile for appetizer: refreshing and delicious. The watermelon gave it an extra special touch of sweetness. Special of the day: fried snapper with Brussels sprouts. The little nuggets of fish were well presented, plated into a fried snapper. They did all the work for you so all you have to do is enjoy. The Brussels Sprouts (a generous portion) was amazing in a sweet soy glaze. I didn't think I would like this vegetable that much! The Boniato Gnocchi was delightful. I was concerned it would be too cheesy but this was the BEST gnocchi I've had. It came in a Rococo sauce that was never overpowering topped with a Parm crisp. It had the perfect Bliss Point--It left me wanting more, and I never say that about gnocchi. Cocktails: Penicillin: I was looking for something that wasn't too sweet and this was very refreshing. Dessert: Timba, a cream cheese mousse topped with guava and Maria cookies. Initially disappointed that it was served on a regular plate instead of the martini glass it usually comes in but it tastes lovely--not too sweet, and the cream cheese flavor was subtly sweet and not too strong. Very good and a reminiscent of the classic guava and cheese after dinner. Looking forward to coming back soon!
