    The service was abysmal. We ordered an appetizer shortly after we were seated and took 45 minutes to be served. After 45 minutes of waiting it wasn’t even fully cooked (grilled octopus). The meal additional to be service and was mediocre. My dish was quite salty…nothing special. My husband’s was good, but not offered, he had to ask for it. Which brings me to the waiter. He was cold and unfriendly. We had the feeling he was avoiding us. We left unimoressed and will not be returning.

    The food and service at Amore are outstanding. The tables are quite close and the noise level escalates as the room fills. We will definitely return but may go earlier when fewer people are there.

    There was a few things I can comment on but it was our anniversary and I do not want to spoil our evening. Service was less than expected and they were out of several items. They even forgot to serve us bread even after we asked for it 3 times. A bit disappointed but it n overall it could be a nice restaurant for a romantic date.

    My husband and I had dinner last night at Amore. The restaurant is pretty and the service was very good. The Valentine's Day set menu for $110/person was limited and not appealing. Whoever heard of salmon wrapped in prosciutto? However, the lemon cake dessert was outstanding. There were four courses - appetizer, pasta, entree, and dessert. The pasta offering was limited and the portion size was as large as an entree. We could not finish our pasta or our entree courses. This was our first time trying Amore. Our friends love it. We will try again on a regular evening and not a holiday with a set menu.

    This place is amazing and don’t hold it against them if the reservation isn’t right on time, they stay so busy. The food quality and service are phenomenal. Well worth any wait.
