   Please don’t ruin your holiday by spending it at Café Amalfi. They do not deliver what they promise -they put out food at noon I’m guessing and when we arrive for our 330 reservation, it was the same food or basically what was left of the food. Salads were not on ice and wilted , all the fruit and charcuterie, which was the major part besides, the meal were completely Gone, except for remnants that were thrown all over the tables. Food on the floors, the spoons and serving utensils all gunked up to the point you couldn’t even get out what food was left to get ; half of the dishes were completely gone and we never replaced despite being asked for more food by all the patrons that were currently there . What we did eat had good flavor - if you were to go I would suggest only going at noon. Our plates were never picked up and were stacked on the table at the end of our meal, but they had busted and removed tablecloth from all the tables around us as if to be ready to be gone. This was at 4:15 in the afternoon . A complete waste of money . Beautiful ocean view. A waste of a Thanksgiving otherwise..

   PROS: Food was delicious with a wide array of items to choose from and the servers were attentive. CONS: Atmosphere could have been nicer for the price. Tables and lighting cafeteria style. Dress code not followed or enforced.

   Wasn’t sure what to expect because we had never been here. But it was great. The food was delicious and the view was beautiful.

   The food was excellent but the dining room management was very poor. The table next to us was told they had to leave. They said the table limit was 1 hour. We received our bill 13 minutes after sitting down. The sad thing was that after the table next to us left, their table and half the dining room remained empty for at least the next hour.

    The staff was subpar and we had to wait for drinks a ridiculous amount of time and had to ask to refill our water. Even when we checked in the hostess greeted us white “what’s the name”, no good afternoon or anything. After not quite an hour we were told we only had a 1 hour reservation and had to leave, but no one took our table even 20 minutes after we left. Other customers told us they were sorry for what happened. Also, the table behind us had about the same issue and we all chatted after about the horrible experience. I would suggest the restaurant plans better and has a refresher in customer service.
