Food was good. The goat cheese gnocchi was outstanding. The pork chop special was pretty good. The only thing we did not like were the crispy brussel sprouts. The sauce was too salty and overbearing. Also disappointed that for the price, the old fashioned had regular ice in it. However the almond basket dessert was to die for. Would definitely go back, just might order differently next time.

We loved our dinner at Amen! We arrived early for our reservation and had oysters, clams, and drinks at the bar before our dinner. So good! We had the surf and turf special and Lowcountry Bouillabaisse - both were delicious.
