They were closed, and have reportedly been so for over a month. We had a large group and were celebrating my son's graduation, having made reservations in September. We had left a deposit of $15 per person, which I'm guessing we won't get back. Up until the day before we kept getting reminders of our reservations from OpenTable. They need to keep up! Thanks for putting a damper on our celebration!

This restaurant does not exist anymore. We called many times, but no answer. Left messages on their answerring service, but no reply. We went to the location, and found it closed. Locked with a chain lock on the gate. The website suddenly says "Temporarily Closed" Is this a scam, or is it just bad property management by OpenTable?

They were closed. Yet you still allowed us to book a reservation, show up, pay $18 for parking to walk up to a closed restaurant. Real classy. Thanks a ton!!

Imagine our disappointment and anger when we showed up for our reservation only to find this restaurant is closed and appears to be out of business and shuttered!!! We received confirmation texts the day before and the day of our reservation. Open Table needs to do a better job of verifying a restaurant is still open. Ended up having a cold hot dog at the basketball game. We drove 2 hours for this event and were flabbergasted the place didn’t exist.

Took hours to get our food. They were understaffed and didn't have answers. Food was just OK. Not worth it.

Average experience but overall disappointing. Reservations were for 7:30 & did not get our dinner served for almost 2 hours. Appetizer of Crostini was great but after the appetizer, it was almost an hour before salads arrived. The homemade Caesar salad dressing/salad was an extra $4 but was flavorless and watery. The main meal of Bolognese and Chicken Piccata was average but not necessarily worth a 2 hour wait. The restaurant was steady with reservations but didn't seem understaffed. The waiter was apologetic, took off our salads and a glass of wine. Hopefully it was just a very off night.

Not their fault, but we sat outside, which was lovely, but there were two “kids” skateboarding on the sidewalk right next to our table. They were very loud. This is an issue for the Gainesville PD. Something for Amelia’s to bring up with them.
