We had a reservation yet were made to wait outside for over 30 minutes with a baby before giving up and leaving. Completely disorganized and poorly managed. No matter how good the food might be, the experience was unacceptable.

What a great find! Between the views, the delicious food, and our server Stephanie, we had a great time. Stephanie was so friendly and had excellent recommendations for food options and was knowledgeable about what I could and could not try based on my dietary restrictions. She was attentive and made sure we had a great experience which made us want to go back soon!

What an amazing culinary experience. From beginning to end we were beyond thrilled. Lyla was so amazing. The hustle to ensure everything was perfect was unmatched. Highly recommend.

Overall the food was good and fresh but not sure it's worth the high price due to the service. While the food came out slow it was really because the server took forever to even take our drink order and never asked if we wanted another round. The lack of attention the entire night was interesting considering the prices are premium across the menu. The atmosphere was loud and tight so get ready to talk nice and loud for even people next to you so they can hear you. It got better as the place emptied out but it took a while. Overall the price didn't remotely justify a revisit unless they fix the service issues.

Fantastic little gem hidden along the Jersey Shore…Was fortunate to get a reservation using Resy as well as a parking spot right in front. Everything from appetizers to desserts was delish. My only drawback was I thought the Ocean Avenue sangria was too sweet, but the red sangria was much better. I’ve attached some photos of our delicious choices. Enjoy!

We absolutely loved it. It was our first time dining at this restaurant but the views are beautiful, the food delicious and our server Stephanie was the absolute best. Stephanie always had a smile on her face and it’s evident that she has experience working at upscale restaurants. Her demeanor was always poised, friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Let my join the ranks of bad reviews..$120 per person with tip should have produced amazing food. Unfortunately the food was surprisingly bad. The veal Milanese was tough and overcooked and it was not breaded and cooked by the chef but taken out of the freezer and deep fried. Sysco brand. The veal Marsala was drowned in Marsala sauce and was also tough. The garlic mashed potatoes were powdered potatoes. And the panko breaded calamari appetizer was the same as I could get in my local pizzeria nothing special The menu reads better than the food will ever be. I wonder how people can write good reviews when the food is so terrible especially for $60 a plate without appetizers drinks or dessert. And even the carrot cake was stale. Save your money.

Food was ok Only good thing was our bus girl, Liliah and server.
The two hostesses clearly hate their job. No one held a door. No one spoke. We ended up holding the door while other people came in to be seated.
We got there for an early dinner, 5 o’clock. The dining room room was empty. They sat another couple directly on top of us. To the point where my husband moved our table.
The staff was arguing and complaining with each other for a solid 45 minutes. Our sodas tasted liked sea water.
Terrible experience. Won’t be back. Native to the area.

I had a wonderful experience at Amelia’s! It’s so hard to find gluten free options and the polenta calamari was amazing. My server Stephanie was friendly and knowledgeable, it was like having lunch with a great friend! Will definitely be back :)

I had the misfortune of dining at this so-called upscale restaurant and was thoroughly disappointed. Despite its hefty price tag, the experience was subpar in every way. The food arrived cold and lacked flavor, which is unacceptable for a place with such a reputation. The seating arrangement was cramped and uncomfortable, with four people squeezed into a tiny two-seater table in a corner. To top it off, the service was terribly slow and the staff seemed indifferent to our concerns. I definitely won’t be returning and would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality dining experience. It blows my mind that this place has any good reviews. Either people have zero standards or the owners are writing them themselves. Save your money — and your evening — and go literally anywhere else.
Nice location. Eating on porch was pleasant. Food came with large portions and was good but not great. Prices seemed high. There was a $9 credit card fee

Wow! What a wonderful restaurant! Being a bit loud inside was okay once the food started arriving. Oysters on the half shell...cold, wonderfully briny and fresh. The eggplant parmegiano dinner was HUGE and delicious! The guys both had the salmon and scarfed it down so fast, I can only guess they loved it. I had the chicken piccata and they were very obliging in leaving any and all garlic off the whole dish ( thank you Chris, our waiter, for making that happen !) All in all a great spot to dine and relax! Kudos!😁
