   When searching for a restaurant for New Years it was a little late. This restaurant was one of a few that could accommodate 6 at the time and had a good review rating. Our group grew to 7. I messaged the restaurant via the app and they quickly respond gladly accommodated. I was a little concerned about the possible quality of experience since the restaurant is IN the Hilton. Let me share, the server Danielle was excellent! The food excellent, probably one of the best She Crap Soup I’ve had here! My only negative is we had no clue how to find the restaurant. You park in the hotel parking deck. The parking guard at the gate said in the mezzanine… The restaurant atmosphere is a hotel restaurant. The bar was lively and looked nice. Our view would have been very nice during daylight, it’s on the ocean. Overall, we were surprisingly pleased with everything about our celebratory dinner and would absolutely recommend! We’ll be back!

   We waited 45 min for our appetizers, another hour for the main course. The chicken pastry was soggy and uncooked, the potatoes hard. Sent it back We ordered a $40 bottle of wine but on the bill she put $55. It seemed disorganized, and confusing. We won’t make this mistake again. The only positive is that the people were friendly but frazzled, and the view was perfect.

   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.
