This was our first visit to Amorette. We had just learned that the restaurant is changing ownership after June 25th. Hope the new owner is able to maintain the same level of quality and service. View all feedback.
What MattG dislikes about Amorette:
The food was quite good, and the cocktails were nice as well. However, the decor is a bit overdone, and the service felt somewhat overbearing. When I dine out, I prefer to feel well taken care of rather than overlooked. However, having the server or host checking in constantly and hovering at every turn can become overwhelming. Perhaps it’s just my perspective, but when the food is delicious and the staff are attenti... View all feedback.
Driving by Amorette you would never know there is a five star dining EXPERIENCE inside. We went for our anniversary and opted for the a la carte menu (tho next time we will try the prix fixe). From the moment we walked in we were treated with such kindness, respect and exceptional attention. Maybe this says more about me, but I've never been to a place that got me a purse holder and unfolded my napkin for me. It was such a treat. Now onto the food! Such a creative and truly expertly prepared menu. The best food I've had in my life. The Elk was so flavorful and the corn gel was amazing. I was expecting corn but this was better than corn. I tried my husbands boar dish as well and it was also delicious, but I preferred the more gamey taste of my Elk. Plus the presentation! What a show stopper! We ended with the smoked Manhattan donuts which were so light and fluffy. They are served under a smoking dome and when the dome is lifted the smoke wafts up combined with the delicious aromas of the donuts. Again, the presentation was stellar and I wish Yelp would let me add my video! The Violet vibrance was delicious. The only other Violet drink I've had was a Violet sake and this was just incredible. Perfect balance of flavors and not overly sweet. The staff remembered we were there for our anniversary and surprised me with a beautiful rose at the end. And some spike gummies to go! This is definitely a special occasion place. If you have a date to wow, an anniversary to celebrate, business contacts to impress then this is the place.
The atmosphere and food were quite enjoyable but what really stood out was how the manager went above and beyond to handle an accident that occured during the meal. A real class act!
So, a review of our recent trip to Amorette. Two of the four of us arrived earlier than the others. We were greeted enthusiastically at the front and settled into the lounge with a drink and snacks. The lounge is lovely and relaxing and a great place to have a drink and talk. Once everyone arrived and we'd had a cocktail, we were escorted to the chef's table, adjacent to the kitchen. The staff at Amorette is amazing. Our server was wonderful and the sommelier, Thierry, is knowledgeable and friendly and so much fun to listen to. By the end of the meal, we were conversing with the chefs (D&D does bring people together! and having an amazing time. I may have been a little tipsy by the end, as well 10 courses and 8 different wines will do that to a person. I've said it before and I will say it again the food and the service at Amorette are reminiscent of some of the best restaurants I have been to in New York. I do believe it has edged out One if By Land, Two if By Sea as my favorite restaurant at this point. At the same time, the service is not intimidating. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Onto the food! The amuse bouche was the same as on our last visit, which I think made us all very happy. Who could be unhappy with a bonsai full of delicacies? Pickled quail eggs and sesame cones full of goat cheese and blueberries started everything off right. The bread was also the same, as was the butter, both of which were delicious. The bread is light and fluffy and the butter is something I wouldn't mind bathing in. It's just that good. The third course was oysters. I eyed the plate with some trepidation. I do not like oysters at all. It's a texture thing. To me, they are the equivalent of salty snot. Really not something I want to ingest. But, as I have said, I will try anything once (I've had some amazing things and some really disgusting things this way . So, I tried one of the three oysters presented. And it was good. It was better than good. The flavors popped. I ate all three and would have eaten more! The fourth course made me so very happy. I love a good scallop crudo and this was a seared scallop with some delightful flavors. The presentation was fun, too, but what I really loved was the scent. It all just smelled fresh and oceany. The next course was ahi tartare. I was already staring to slow down a little here and realized I needed to pace myself so I could taste all the courses. Every course served is a full serving, not a tiny nibble. The ahi was delicious and I loved how the peanuts added a contrasting texture to the tuna. Pork belly came next. The only pork belly I've had before has been less than stellar and included in a bowl of ramen. This pork belly melted as it hit the tongue. It was accompanied by one of my favorite veggies beets! The beet greens gave a nice contrast as well and the beet ketchup was scrumptious. Onto course seven wagyu tenderloin. The meat was cooked to perfection. I was actually a little sad I could not find space to eat the whole thing. But do not fear it was not wasted others helped me out! It was flavorful and tender and accompanied by a presse of potatoes and truffle whose number of layers was discussed at length. Next was the palate cleanser. I hope Amorette keeps this course for a long while. The sorbet is lovely, but the pop rocks are so much fun! There were two dessert courses and both were incredible. The almond nougatine with ice cream and the chamomile tea panna cotta finished off the meal on a high note. There wasn't a single misstep in the entire meal. Add to that how incredible the staff is and how fantastic the chefs are, I would highly recommend Amorette to anyone. Go to the lounge and enjoy an evening. Order ala carte. Order a tasting menu. Do the chef's table. I don't think you will be disappointed by any of the experiences here.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mrs. Brenda William for her exceptional assistance with Forex trading. She went above and beyond to help me earn $10,400 from my initial investment of $1,000. Thank you, Brenda! I highly recommend her to everyone. You can reach her directly on WhatsApp at +1 (925) 587-4914 or via email.
I was less than impressed with the food offerings at this restaurant, enjoying fewer than half of the dishes. However, the wine sommelier was fantastic and definitely elevated the meal. The bread and butter were decent, though the bread itself was quite dry. The scallop dish was outstanding and cooked to perfection. In contrast, the soft shell crab dish felt overly complicated, and the seaweed foam was the same as that used in the scallop dish. The Lamb Tartare tasted frozen and lacked flavor, although the mustard ice cream was enjoyable. The palate cleanser, a sorbet with pop rocks, seemed more suited for children. The Elk Tenderloin was cooked perfectly, but my plate had an overcooked piece of tenderloin. After three attempts, they finally got it right. The dessert was billed as featuring flavors from a flower garden, but it ended up tasting like dirt. In summary, the tasting menu didn’t live up to our expectations. I would suggest opting for a la carte instead. We were quite disappointed after looking forward to dining here.
