Dinner at Amelia's on Thanksgiving was most disappointing. What is it with that loud, garish wallpaper in the lobby? Our party of 7 was ushered into the restaurant in good time, but the place was overcrowded to the point that those seating on the "outside" (not at the banquette) were constantly jostled by the wait staff & other diners as they moved about. The food, except for the salad & its dressing, was dull. Deli turkey breast & what appeared to be canned ham? Servers reached across us to retrieve plates. So noisy with that overcrowding that we couldn't carry on a decent conversation. Too ambitious an effort for a room that should be used for breakfast or lunch, not a nice, calm dinner. None of us plans to return.
