Kristen MarieFebruary 6, 2021Great service. The menu sounds so delicious. Everything was good but missing seasoning across the board. Kimchi Fries were really good and the rosemary rolls they serve first were warm and delicious.
All specials are amazing. You will never leave disappointed with those. Also, crostinis are great! Flatbread also. Great and friendly staff! Make sure to ask for the humus and bread . It's so good!
Amelia's Flatbread Pizza with Chorizo, Wild Mushroom, Smoked Gouda and a Fried Egg easily makes "Best items I've eaten in NJ". Make sure to ask for a second fried egg, cause I think it should have two
Glenn PaparianAugust 7, 2017We had a very enjoyable brunch. The owner and wait staff were very nice. I recommend the ahi tuna poké, cilantro lime shrimp, cheese plate, kung pao cauliflower. We will be back.
Exceptional place in Jersey City. Warm service. The crostini are phenomenal. Don't forget to try out their flatbread pizzas and cocktails - ask for what's new!
Meena AthmanathanAugust 2, 2015Great food with added advantage of them being pet friendly (sit out). Highly recommended if you are looking for a brunch hanging out with your pet!!- I'm a big fan of Amelia's and it's one of my rotation restaurants. Great array of food, friendly service and a dash of flair make this worth checking out. Already here? Get the pizza with the egg.
Chilean sea bass is excellent! Short ribs, lobster fettuccine, and truffle Mac & cheese are also great. Brunch is fantastic!
John PerezAugust 13, 2012Mac and Cheese......bit disappointing. I like it more cheesy. Hummus was a new setup to it...we enjoyed it. Veggie salad was very good and fulfilling. Kevin, provided great service =]
Amelia's BistroSeptember 25, 2013Amazing Happy Hour Thursday September 265th 7:00 - 9:00pm! Featuring Cocktails from sponsors @CalicheRum & @CasamingosTequila.. First Drink of the night is on the house
- Get the Braised Boneless Beef Short Ribs with herbed hash browns. Best I ever had!
Denise TavernierAugust 18, 2012used to work here years ago..Frank the owner is wonderful and the food yummm ! try their buffalo chicken wrap its out of this world !! no other place comes close to it ! <3
Anthony SpiritoOctober 19, 2010Enjoyed a NY Strip on Saturday night and I must say, it was outstanding! At $24,it was a tremendous value and of high quality. It was easily comparable to a NY Strip at a high end NY steak house.
Now I understand what the fuss over the truffles Mac n cheese is all about. Insanely good. The appetizer portion is a perfect share for two people. Indulge and enjoy!- Amelia's BistroMay 21, 2014Try ordering online. BRAND NEW ordering system will make your life so much easier!
Natalie KApril 19, 2017Cute little brunch spot with outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. Standard brunch fare.
Nina PaparattoJanuary 7, 2017Some of my favorite food in JC. Their fried chicken and potato concoction is my favorite.- Amelia's BistroMay 21, 2014Our next 5 course beer tasting dinner is going to be featuring delicious brews from Troegs brewery! Call for tickets :) (201) 332-2200
Omar HarounJanuary 7, 2013Great hidden gem, lots of seating and quiet if you need to have a conversation. Very reasonable prices for breakfast
Collette SAugust 27, 2016They give you chick peas to mash your own hummus which is accompanied by delicious bread.- Braised Boneless Beef Short Ribs & herbed hash browns
Caryl DizonMarch 29, 2016The salad and cocktails are delicious if you want to treat yourself without feeling too guilty- Amelia's BistroOctober 15, 2013Will be collecting boxes for Samaritans purse charity organization - Operation Christmas Child. The drive will last from November 18th through November 25th
Brookes StephensSeptember 16, 2016Mango chicken was good. The short rib lollipops are good but definitely need the Bbq sauce that accompanies it- RyanAugust 11, 2015Their Truffled Mac and Cheese is to die for! It's not any ordinary Mac and Cheese.
- Amelia's BistroSeptember 25, 2013Happy Hour Event Thursday, Sept 26th. Giveaways, friends, food, cocktails and fun!
Tanu COctober 28, 2013Amazing foursquare deals; they do well in honoring it too. And delicious food. Great service as well!
The brunch plates, like the Classic Benedict, are solid and well-priced, but service seems to be lacking at times.- Anthony SpiritoOctober 17, 2010One of the most consistently good restaurants in JC. Food is always outstanding and service is always spot-on. I would highly recommend!
Angela DenbySeptember 26, 2010This place is hopping for Sunday brunch, inside and out... even on a cool, cloudy day. Blueberry pancakes and Breakfast stack were very good.
Ali SaeedMay 28, 2011The tiramusu and bread pudding are homemade and a must to try. Cheesecake is also a stellar dessert here.
Samantha AliceaJune 17, 2013The Mac and Cheese was banging! Everyone here was very nice and the food came out fast!
Ask for hummus when they seat you. They used to serve it to everyone, but now they only do upon request. It's free and yummy!
HeenaMarch 1, 2015Highlight: mash your own chickpeas hummus. Crostinis were good. Entree eggplant panini with feta ehh. Not going back here again. Waitress not good - she rushed us.
The short rib sandwich is awesome, as is the pear gorgonzola salad--but make sure you add grilled chicken.
Maine lobster pasta - absolutely delicious and packed with lobster meat!- Lobster hash & eggs for brunch very tasty for a weekend leisurely meal.
Gloria ChapaJanuary 27, 2011You can anything blackened yum! Service is very good, and it's not overpriced like a couple places nearby.
