Dined at Amilinda on Friday (moms night out). Had a lovely evening. I was greeted warmly by the host (I arrived first), and seated at a cozy candlelit table. Our server was awesome, she was fun and had great recommendations for cocktails and food. There were 3 of us, so we each ordered different entrees and shared. Everything was amazing (seabass cheeks, carcamusa and a pork shank). We devoured it all. We also had dessert, some dark chocolate mousse that was incredible (I am still thinking about it). Chef Greg even came to our table for a chat. We had the best time (the employees seem genuinely happy, and we never felt rushed, which was nice). The word I would use to describe this place is: warmth. 5 stars.

A finalist for a James Beard award and it shows! Drinks were amazing! I’d recommend the Lion’s Tail. The red pepper soup was tasty (I’d remove the pepper seeds because they didn’t add anything), and the salad had simple flavors but was super refreshing. The beef cheeks were intense. The flank steak and preparation was excellent.

Amilinda delivers authenticity. There are many restaurants out there claiming culinary uniqueness, but at the end they fall short. Amilinda brings the flavors of Spain and Portugal without creating copycat versions of traditional Iberian Peninsula dishes. All the dishes arw prepared and made to deliver an experience. And thar experience does not end with the amazing dishes. The casual but classy ambience can be experienced from the moment walking in, to sitting in the table or counter for dinner, to the interaction with the wonderful staff. Love coming here not just for special occasions, but anytime we want exceptional food delivered with a wonderful time.
Recommended dishes: Portuguese Fire Sausage, Braised Pork Shoulder, Flame Grilled Portuguese Sausage, Skirt Steak w Grilled Eggplant Leek Puree Red Radishes in Garlic Oil, Pork Belly Salad, Rabbit Two Ways, Duck Rice

An absolute Milwaukee treasure.I have never had a bad or even mediocre dish over my dozen or more trips to Amilinda. The service is always impeccable. The wine list is interesting. The desserts are outstanding.Greg is incredibly skilled in everything he does. From the flavor profiles to the plating, you can tell that he cares about every detail of a diner’s experience.My absolute go to when someone asks for a dining rec in Milwaukee.

This was our first time dining here, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The host that greeted us was very engaging. Our server, Lance, was great. We both had the Smokey Tomato Soup as a starter, and it was amazing. Great flavor to it, and the smoke really came through. Drinks were fantastic as well. Entrees had great flavor, and we really enjoyed every bite. I would highly recommend!

food was fantastic. I recommend you order everything and then share it with the table. Chef Greg is an artist. Our server, Lance, was amazing as well, ask for him by name, you won't be disappointed!
