Amélie Upper West Side Bistro & Wine Bar is a charming and welcoming spot in the heart of the Upper West Side. Despite its small size, the restaurant offers a cozy and lively atmosphere, with a playlist featuring a mix of afrobeat, Bruce Springsteen, Bad Bunny, and more, creating an unexpected and enjoyable ambiance. The interior feels unexpectedly cozy, making it an ideal date spot or a place to unwind after a busy day. The wine selection is excellent, with options like a Syrah and Montepulciano, complemented by a great happy hour that offers affordable drinks and wine flights. The staff is attentive and friendly, making guests feel right at home, even during busy times. The food has moments of excellence, such as the plump and tender mussels and the French onion soup, which many found satisfying. However, some dishes, like escargot and the Chêvre Chaud salad, were slightly less successful, with issues like over-dressing or under-seasoning. Tables are close together, which can lead to hearing neighbors’ conversations, but this minor inconvenience is offset by the overall lively and vibrant atmosphere. Whether enjoyed during a snowstorm or a regular evening, Amélie offers a delightful experience with good food, excellent wine, and a warm, inviting feel.
