Amélie

This is the second time I have been to Amelie - and again we were very impressed! I took my girlfriend here for her b'day dinner.. we had a booking for 8pm and arrived right on time, however they didn't seat us for half an hour. However we did get to sit down and they gave us a complimentary glass of champagne and were very apologetic that our table wasn't read yet.

We got seated around 8.30pm and ordered the cheese board - this is an absolute must! It comes with 3 different cheeses (you select), some pureed pear spread, honey, nuts, dried fruit and bread. Absolutely divine!

For our mains I had the filet mignon - so well cooked (perfect med-rare!) It came with little potatoes, beans and carrots in a nice sauce. My friend had the oysters and a side of spinach which she said were very tasty.

For dessert we ordered the creme brulee and the chocolate fondant cake - both delicious!

I will definitely be back for that cheese board!! Sooo good!

And service is fantastic! The background noise from everyone talking was a little loud, but what can you expect from a small restaurant space.

10/10 from us!

Great wait staff!
Very quick and have great tips on what wine to choose!!

Great choices of cheese and even better prices on the bottles!

Will definitely be coming back here soon and more often!

Also loved the decor and atmosphere not too noisy or quiet! You can be filled up here and still have room for dessert. Unfortunately I didn't have dessert ahaha! But next time I sure will!!

My colleagues and I were going to  happy hour at 8th Street Wine Cellar, but it was closed for a private event so we, very fortuitously, ended up at Amelie.  We've since been back a million and one times.  So many times, in fact, that the staff knows us by both faces and names.  Lol.  

The happy hour at Amelie is downright amazing!  The ever-popular $10 wine flight can be made up of any of the wines they sell by the glass.  I know nothing about wines, so I had the very friendly, VERY French server to create a flight for me.  They have a wine there called Txakolina (Chacolina), a sparkling very dry white wine that is FANTASTIC!  It's now my favorite wine and, as far as I know, they are one of the few places that sell it in the city.  Try it.  Also, the goat cheese appetizer is impeccable and the baguette is out of this world!  Other food is good, too... the flatbread, salads, french fries (naturally), dates, but I haven't tried many of the entrees.  I can't speak highly enough about this place.  Unfortunately, other people have found out about my Parisian oasis in the middle of the Village and now it gets extremely crowded there, especially on Fridays.  I suggest making a reservation -- yes, even for happy hour.  I hear they have brunch now.  I'll definitely be trying that soon.
