Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with our experience tonight…read more Our bill was around $100, and unfortunately it was some of the worst food we've had in the area. We ordered steak tips medium rare and a chicken sandwich. The steak tips came out severely overcooked , burnt on the outside, tough, and hard as a hockey puck. The chicken sandwich seemed absolutely drenched in what tasted like Frank's RedHot or a similar hot sauce, completely overpowering everything else. What's frustrating is that we've eaten here before and had a great experience, which is why we came back. This visit felt completely different. I honestly wondered if there was a different chef in the kitchen. The service itself was okay, and to be clear, we weren't looking to make a scene or demand items be taken off the bill. However, most of the food was left on the plate, and nobody stopped by to ask if there was an issue or why it wasn't being eaten. Maybe this was just an off night, but based on this experience, it's hard to justify spending $100 here again.

The ambiance is 5 stars. The food was 4 stars. We ordered lemon pepper, mild, garlic parm, and sweet chili wings. My favorite was the lemon pepper. The mild was a bit spicy for me personally but it was good. I didn't care for the ranch. A slightly higher quality ranch (more flavorful) would have taken the wings to the next level. I definitely will be back for the lemon pepper. I'm from Atlanta, and ya girl is picky about wings. We were so happy, we asked them to tell the chef how pleased we were. She was behind the bar and responded to us. Top notch service. It's a brother, sister duo that owns and operates this spot. I'm so thankful for this establishment in the area.

Another day, another menu item to try!…read more Today we tried: -Mi Kho Dac Biet: delicious! Yellow noodle tossed with their sauces and a side soup. Toppings were very generous and consisted of fish cake, sliced pork, shrimp, pork liver, fried shallot, veggies and bean sprouts on the bottom. -Pho Dac Biet with Short rib: pho broth is very full and like how my mom makes at home! The short rib falls off the bone and is so tasty. Amazing portion size as well. -Che Thai: I love all of their desserts. Che Thai had coconut jelly, pandan jelly, longan, jackfruit, toddy palm seed, red rubies, etc. topping galore!! Service is super fast and workers are very friendly. Can't wait to come back and try different items off their menu!!

The Lobster Mac & Cheese was outstanding, honestly better than what I've had at places like Capital Grille. Add in the fresh, delicious bread, and the meal starts off perfectly. I highly recommend the Brandt 14 ounce Aged New York Sirloin; it was easily my favorite dish of the night. And don't leave without trying the New York Cheesecake the perfect ending to an amazing meal! The ambiance of the restaurant was warm, elegant, and inviting, making it a great place for a relaxing dinner. The atmosphere paired perfectly with the excellent food and attentive service, creating an overall upscale dining experience. A special shoutout to our waiter, Quinten L., who provided exceptional service throughout the evening. He promptly cleared our plates after each course and even wiped down the table between meals, which really showed attention to detail. Thank you, Quinten L, for making our dining experience even more enjoyable!

I was attempting to treat my elderly grandmother to a very special meal as I was passing by her…read moreassisted living facility on a work trip and read great reviews about this place. When it comes to steaks, I rarely eat out because I have a paranoia of being let down. I always buy my meat from a butcher and cook them beautifully on a charcoal (yes, if you cook on propane it's not actually grilling - poser) grill. This trip to Amelias reinforced why I shouldn't stray from handling good meat myself. The place itself is cool, my grandmother was very impressed which is honestly all that matters. Of course she was enamored by the bread options and the whipped butter with olive oil was honestly a nice touch. I ordered a bottle of pellegrino and was surprised the waitress never topped me off (get your mind out of the gutter). Whatever, I had to serve my own drink but at a place of that caliber you'd think the wait staff would understand that when a bottle of any sort is purchased they should be asking the diners if they'd like a refill. We ordered the tuna tartare and my grandmother had never even heard of such a dish before. She enjoyed a bite and then I inhaled the rest - yes I am fat and hungry NOT SORRY. We ordered our steaks and I got excited too soon. I can't help but shake my head, I NEVER get steaks out any more because even at steak houses I am most often let down. I am not trying to sound cheap but at $68 a steak I am expecting a melt in your mouth masterpiece (that's what they used to call me back in the day) and honestly the meat we got was a MAJOR let down. Steak alone has it's flavor and this piece was lacking. They overcooked it and it was genuinely tough even with the LITTLE pink they allowed me to enjoy. I was really heartbroken but the only reconciliation for this was that my aged grandmother was ecstatic and this meal wasn't for me, it was an attempt to treat my grandmother to what could be one of her last few really special meals. For her it was and that's the only reason I'm not giving this place two stars.

Our server was super kind and everyone received their orders without issues. She even had a couple of extra house salads for us for those who didn't have salad as part of their order. Food: I ordered the linguine with shrimp & clams in sauce. I think this has got to be the best linguine with clams (and shrimp) I have ever had. Garlicky, savory, and buttery. The shrimp and clams were tender and flavorful. The linguine a perfect al dente. I only give 4 stars because I also tried the meatballs and was not impressed. The meatballs lacked texture and was on the mushy side. Otherwise, we had a lovely experience.

The Marquee House is a beautiful dance club that opened in late August in place of the old Mojitos…read moreCountry Club. There's a terrible dearth of dance clubs in suburban Boston and Marquee is trying to fill the gap. Fridays are Latin nights and Saturdays are what they call "Old School R&B, Hip Hop & Reggae". I'll describe Saturdays below as I've not been to any Latin nights. The club consists of three areas. First, there's a lower room where older (70s/80s/90s) dance music is played. The DJ is good and the room is nicely laid out with some cushy seating, stand-up tables, and a rather long bar. There's plenty of room for dancing. The crowd trends towards older (which includes me!). It wasn't a large crowd tonight; I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Second, there's the main club, which is much larger and much more crowded. There, we have an excellent DJ mixing newer music, e.g. 2000s and on with a few older songs. It's louder and he produces a nice steady R&B dance groove most of the night, omitting the slow dreary hip-hop that has emerged the past decade or so. There are two bars and the place is well-decorated and looks fairly modern. Clearly, a lot of thought was put into how to transform it from whatever it used to look like. The crowd consists of a nice mix of ethnic groups (black, white, & Hispanic), with everyone feeling comfortable and enjoying themselves. The third is what they refer to as the Lounge, which is the section you pass through before you go to either of the clubs I described above. It has a bar, some dancing, and places to sit. It's a good place to go if either of the main rooms are too crowded. They serve some food (pizza, wings, warm doughnuts) there also before the other rooms open at 9:00. The crowd was well-behaved with no one overdoing the drinking and the Creepy Guy count was quite low so women should be happy. There's plenty of parking and there's also a police presence but they had nothing to do and just strolled around. The staff is very nice--a number of them used to work at the old Vincent's down the street. Overall, Marquee is an excellent place for people to dance & socialize without having to go into the city. It may need a little polishing here and there but that will probably be taken care of later. I think it's time for people to get out from behind their computers & tablets and try to actually meet and mingle a bit. Marquee would be a good place to start.
