Amelie Bistro & Wine Bar west village

We had an absolutely perfect dining experience. The service, the vibe, the drinks, and every dish (appetizers - dessert) was impeccable!

Amelie is a neighborhood favorite of mine. It's been a charming spot for many years now and never disappoints. Good for wine flights, an interesting menu, and lovely ambiance. A real gem. Always A+, nice spot for both business and personal meals. If you can get an outside table it is especially wonderful.

I loved Amelie, it has a very Parisian vibe and it transported me to a cafe in Paris within moments of entering. I absolutely loved the food and the staff are really friendly. I would definitely recommend this place.

Been here so many times and the owner is so nice and cool!! Also great food, delicious cocktails and nice atmosphere especially sitting outside. Will go back again soon.

Happy hour was awesome. Choice of several wine flights and cocktails, and an interesting app menu. Dinners were great as well. It does have a limited menu, but better to do a small menu really well. The flan was good.

Food and wine is incredible, service was terrible. I rarely call out bad service, but this was memorable.

Our waiter was very aloof. While ordering our meal he interrupted to ask if it was for us (still unsure what he meant lol). Then later while still waiting for our meals he came and asked if we wanted dessert. Another staff member nearly elbowed my friend in the face while refilling water and didn’t even notice. The table next to us even leaned over to complain about our waiter too, enough for jaded New Yorkers to talk to strangers to make sure it wasn’t just them.

That being said, the food is incredible. Wish the service was better.

I visited this spot after seeing a Gojo look alike in Washington Square Park and was looking for somewhere to go aftee. I had heard about their happy hour on a video online so I decided to check it out since I already had it saved and it didn’t disappoint! I tried the Oksana flight during happy hour, which included three different wines💖 I also ordered a croque monsieur which was delicious but very hot! Give it time to cool off😅 The staff was kind, and most of them even spoke French, giving me the chance to practice my French skills. One unique touch I loved was how the receipt came tucked inside a book of poems it was such a thoughtful detail. The decor inside had cozy and stylish vibe that made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience☺️🍷

Great food and lovely services. We got the escargot, duck confit and steak for mains, banana pudding brûlée. All tasted amazing. Nice ambience which was perfect for date nights. Will come again to try other dishes!

On Saturday 6/22 I made a reservation at 5 pm for 4 people. My mom was visiting from out of town and Amelie is one of my favorite spots, so I was excited to bring her. About an hour before our reservation, my 4 cousins called me and asked if they could also join, which I didn’t think would be an issue as they would also be eating and drinking. I called Amelie to give a heads up about the additional people and no one answered the phone. We showed up about 20 min early to the reservation to explain the situation, and begrudgingly and with a bad attitude, were told it would be figured out.

Once we had sat down, one of the staff members came to our table, and asked who had made the reservation. It was under my name, and I said I had. In front of the rest of the table he rudely said “Next time, make the reservation for the correct amount of people” and walked away. This was extremely uncalled for and rude, and made me feel pretty embarrassed and my other guests felt unwelcome. We spent over $500 and we’re rushed the entire time (our waiter was lovely and he was not the one treating us poorly).

There was no body else waiting for our table, and this entire experience honestly made me never want to return to Amelie. This is a shame because prior to this, I’ve always had a lovely time, and have visited 10/15 times at this point.

I hope this is taken into consideration for the future. I sent an email voicing my complaint and no one responded. I will never be back because of the terrible way we were all treated.

A boeuf bourguignon with a radish on top, brussel sprouts, and sweet potatoes is a crime against French cuisine. Call it the Amelie stew or something just don’t pretend it is what it isn’t. Nice place but sorry this isn’t actual French cuisine. Also the sauce was runny like a consommé.

Forget about counting calories—this restaurant is all about indulging in wonderfully prepared French classics! Each dish is a masterpiece, beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. I was especially impressed by the exquisite attention to detail in every bite, whether it was a buttery croissant, a rich coq au vin, or a decadent chocolate mousse.

To elevate the dining experience, I paired my meal with their thoughtfully curated wine flights. Each selection complemented the dishes perfectly, enhancing the flavors and adding another layer of enjoyment to the meal. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, offering great recommendations that made the wine journey even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for incredible value, this place is a treasure. The quality of the food and wine far exceeds what you'd expect for the price. Treat yourself to a wonderful culinary experience, and don't hesitate to indulge—after all, it's not just a meal; it's a celebration of French cuisine!

Bad experience at Amelia. The food was delish but the waiters were pushing us to leave. We had reserved and arrived at 7:30 and we left at 8:10. We spent a lot of money and we were told we must vacate the table for the next customers. No one was waiting outside. It was a very odd experience. I don’t recommend the place. Pity because the food was very good.
