“I had an amazing dining experience at Amelia Gene’s, thanks to our wonderful server, Miso. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in recommending the perfect dishes. Every suggestion he made was spot on, and his friendly demeanor made the entire meal even more enjoyable. Excellent service like this truly enhances the dining experience, and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Miso, for making our visit so special!”

Firstly I cannot expound enough on how good our waitress was, she was attentive, prompt, and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. The rest of the staff were top notch as well, we enjoyed the elegance of the staff, everyone was willing to lend a helping hand. The 3 courses we had were very good and we left full but it is possible to have a 4 course meal if that is your desire. We will be going back and it will definitely be a suggestion from us for others to enjoy. It’s a hidden gem for sure.

This restaurant just gets better every time we visit. The prefix special menu for Thursday night was amazing. I’m not a wine drinker but I tried the wine paring and I loved it. Can’t wait until my next visit to try the new menu items.

Above and beyond service coupled with a creative and perfectly executed menu made for a wonderful evening all in a beautiful venue. The prawn dish specifically impressed me to a level I have only otherwise experienced at michelin starred restaurants.

Our second sit down dinner at Amelia Gene's and first since it had opened in 2023. Everything was outstanding! From the complimentary champagne to start the meal to bites, starters, pastas and our monkfish main course. We love coming here and will be back, of course!
