| - This is a restaurant we have passed by many many times, and a few nights ago, my husband convinced me to try it out. It's a cozy place, yet comfortable as they don't pack you in like sardines. Not much of a welcome from the staff, nor any introduction to the menu or explanation of the specials, which I found a little odd. The place was not packed on a weeknight, so it's not like the servers were scrambling.
After a few questions, my husband ordered a mushroom and feta pizza which had a crispy crust and was very delicious. My filet (a special that evening) was just alright. It was closer to medium than the medium rare I had ordered, had a tough exterior, and was pretty small. The Gorgonzola sauce wasn't as good as others I've had elsewhere. It came with an assortment of fingerling potatoes, some of which I liked, and some nicely prepared asparagus. Getting tired of the Gorgonzola sauce, I had to ask for salt and pepper as the potatoes were not seasoned enough for my taste on their own. I don't know why they just don't have it on the table like every other restaurant.
I'm willing to give Amano another try sometime, especially on the merit of the pizza.
